"

nobody really knows what happens to us when we die?

no, it wasn't in any textbook.

families and here are dying people living through this terror in cognita and I could even spell terror, T-E-R-R-O-R because it is indeed a terrifying terror not knowing what to expect the next day and thinking everything is at a control as the body deteriorates as the mind deteriorates and wouldn't it be wonderful people who really understood what to expect and knew that as bad as things were, this is the way you die of cancer or of heart disease or stroke.

if I told a surgical patient just what to expect, he could tolerate pain much better. He could tolerate a drainage and discomforts and diarrhea because he knew that was what was supposed to happen and it was okay.

thank you so much for sharing your beloved Baba with us I now love her too as I have known her by another name in another time in another place
