News

In tribute to those experiencing this situation,

.

That's it. The news all of us aren't ready for and fear.

The question. He said how long I'm expected to be here.

He informed me bluntly to get my affairs in due order.

My initial response, even so soon after, I can't remember.

I wonder now on how many occasions he has done that.

I wonder how all the others who come before him react.

Concerns seeming important disappeared without trace.

There's no choice but to focus on what I'm about to face.

How do others share with loved ones what they've heard ?

To consider there's a better way or right moment is absurd.

I can not take the doctors approach in what I have to do.

My love may sense, looking in my eyes, what's to go through.

I pray I am strong, for the sake of those who are around me,

Every breath left dedicated to doing the very best for family.

Hi  Richard   A Great write of a hard fact of life to deal with
I have been in the room  with the doctor when two of my loved ones 
were given this devastating news it was hard for me to hear
but  for the person being told it was so awful. sometimes
I can not bear to think about it, but i won`t ever forget the reactions
A heartfelt write for me  Hug Debs
