You'll tell me more in person, I hope. <br /><br />I haven't been with anyone while they were dying either, nor have I attended any birth other than my own and that of my children. A book I read, 'Seeing the Crab', a memoir by Christina Middleton, starts with her talking about a conversation she had with a friend who also had metastatic BC. This friend was with another friend as she died, and said something like "it's not that hard, I think I can do it", an impression that Christina found very comforting. It's not that hard, I think I can do it. I guess that's part of the anxiety of the 'dyer' (all of us, eventually), that it will be overwhelmingly difficult. That there are right and wrong ways to go about it. Dying as success or failure. Anyways, I'm rambling. Off I go to have my tumor markers measured yet again. I'd almost rather not know.<br /><br />Much love,<br />DeniseDenise Wolfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35994623.post-68088458714351433332009-04-24T05:15:00.000-07:002009-04-24T05:15:00.000-07:00It sounds like you both had a great time and I am ...It sounds like you both had a great time and I am so pleased that you are feeling upbeat at the moment.

It is strange that in our culture we are so far removed from sharing and experiencing with one another the details of life's most important events.BBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18405991440015148973noreply@blogger.com
