Dear Michelle:
Regarding your previous post: you are welcome and thank you for your kind words.
“I already have my other legal problem I touched upon here and I don’t understand why he would leave me with this extra stress of having to go through courts when he has talked to me about dying so much“- it’s possible that it made him too anxious to arrange the legal stuff for after his death, so he kept postponing it. I know that I keep postponing paper work and anything that makes me anxious, for years, by this point.
“They called me this morning and they are going to stop treatment which I knew was coming when they stopped feeding him. They are going to move him to hospice. I hired a case manager. I called a couple of cemeteries. I don’t feel anything at all today“- he is dying. It makes me think of the ending of each and every one of us. It is his time… I don’t know when my time will be, but it will come, and I will be dying too. It is an idea, an image, an understanding to get used to.
Please post again anytime. For the following days, if and whenever I see your name on the list of topics I will answer you first.
