But what will happen over the next few days is that she’ll sleep more often, for more prolonged periods of time. And then eventually, she’ll …’ ‘Not wake up?’ ‘That’s right. Just pass away peacefully.’ I nodded. That sounded like a good death.
God, that sounds like my flipping Mother, not dead, but what she says about dying, she’s got some tissue paper wrapped up vision of drifting off peacefully, and she’s going to get one hell of a rude awakening come time for her to go!
She says stuff like ‘it was over quickly’ and my personal favorite ‘at least they aren’t in pain anymore’. Some of that may be correct, but take it from me whose nearly died 4 times, we all want MORE, every single living creature on this earth wants one more second, one more moment, one last breath, anything, this life goes at light speed & so so much quicker than you can ever imagine, so grab hold with both hands and put your foot down, if it’s only one life, then make it as hard, high & happy as you can
