I told my kids to accidentally leave the liquid morphine bottle within my reach and go for a drive.

It took six months for my father to die slowly and in torture, just about everyone almost lost their jobs doing home hospice. Just this last Sunday I lost my wife after two months of pure torture for her.

Nope, I am not going to burden my family that way again... I don’t fear it. When it is time it is time and I will be ready for it.

One of my best friends (from grade school!) has a situation with her mom. She is 96, and afraid of dying. A very good woman from everything I’ve ever known about her. Seriously, one of the sweetest women I’ve ever met. How can she be so scared? I know I’m not there yet, but I hope to never be afraid. I know my Lord has claimed me as I have reached out my arms to Him. He has His Fingerprint on my soul. I pray for my friend and her mom, that she will willingly go when the Lord calls her.

I’m so sorry for your recent loss ... and, for her suffering ... and, for your father’s lingering suffering, too.

So very sorry for your loss. My sister, husband, and I have been trying to help the husband of our friend who suddenly died in her sleep on 9/11.

She had played pickleball the day before. She had hiked with her group three days earlier. They had been married 60 years. He’s having a rough time and thankfully has two sons relatively nearby who are able to help. I hope you have a good support system to help get you through this.

I am so sorry about the loss of your wife. I hope the memories of her passing will fade (they never go away) and be replaced by the memories of the fun times.

I will keep you both in my prayers.
