I'm sorry you feel lonely because you didn't get replies today. I have been mostly giving you hugs because I don't know what to say. I admire you greatly, as you know, and I look forward to reading whatever you write.

Most people don't want to face their own mortality, and reading the nitty-gritty is difficult. I wanted to say how awful it is for those people to be discussing what to do with your ashes, and things like that. You shouldn't have to hear that, unless it's something you want to discuss.

I can understand wanting a normal conversation! People don't know what to do or say when someone is going to die. I totally checked out when my mother was dying, not because I didn't love her, but because I didn't know what to say. I feel very sad about that, as we didn't say good-bye or "I love you" at the end. I couldn't handle it, so maybe she couldn't either.

Please continue to share whatever you need to. I'm glad you could post how you felt about not getting replies. It's not that people don't care; I think it's because of how much they care, and a fear of saying the wrong thing.

I hope you have a peaceful, restful night!

Love,
rainbow
Thanks for this!
