Death, it messes with those who can't deal with it, and it's relative "finiteness". I view it more as ones Graduation Day. This life on earth is to be lived, until one has finished their journey, in the confines of their flesh, then they get to go back to the freedom of "being". I'm not sure who said the quote I read, loosely quoted, but it resonated in my soul. "I find people funny....thinking we are human beings on a spiritual journey when really, we are spiritual beings on a human journey."

Now that I am...Glad you are going back to posting. Now that I am retired, I will do a blog soon,too. Better outlet, I agree, than FB. FB does not contain on the whole, "DEEP THOUGHTS". But it is a format to "touch base". <br /><br />Back to your post,family end life issues does often bring out the best or worst in families and not always, what the family member who is passing wants. I remember my dad wanted to have 2 shocks to the heart during the CPR. Why he focused on 2, I have no idea. However, when I explained that we would easily break his ribs while pumping on his chest,and would need to have a tube down his throat, the 2 shocks didn't seem so simple and he declined all heroics. Thankfully, all the siblings were united in the efforts to keep him comfortable.<br /><br />But why do some families fear death so much and often try to out ride the wishes of the dying loved one by having barbaric procedures, machines, etc put in place. We all will die someday. Why is this issue so often ignored and kept hush, hush? Probably one reason is the public see CPR on tv and 2 minutes later the patient is eating a steak dinner. Not reality for sure!!<br /><br />As a nurse, I hope that my wishes are honored. Maybe I will put a tattoo on my vocal cords "do not resusitate"!<br /><br />XOXOX<br /><br /><br />kevel88https://www.blogger.com/profile/14523415032685646085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2449634081595465612.post-19080237651163152562015-11-05T09:37:48.979-08:002015-11-05T09:37:48.979-08:00Thanks Karen -- I could meet up with you for a kni...Thanks Karen -- I could meet up with you for a knit & coffee one day this winter?
