End of Life Issues

I am glad that all went as planned and that Kathy is at peace.

I hope that you are too.

I too have seen death as something not to be feared but rather, embraced. I agree that posting these photos was the right thing to do. Thank you for letting us view the scene.

I wrote a poem about death and I am posting it here in the hope that it will complement what you've said about not being afraid of death.


Release

he holds out his hand
speaking gently
from beneath the cloak that hides him
come with me it’s time
and I know he’s right

it’s time to go
to let go of this world
to see what lies beyond for I am weary now
every breath comes with a price
every appetite burns as I feed it

he wraps his arm around me
I rest my weariness against his strength
no painful phantasm here
but a welcome companion coming to take me
home

to my release
