===========
On the &...I'm sorry for your loss.<br /><br />===========<br />On the "giving up", or, perhaps better put, "letting go" -- <br /><br />It seems to me that people (and possibly pets) find it easier to "let go" when they don't feel like they're dying alone.<br /><br />My twice-widowed aunt moved back to our hometown after her husband died. Her only child (with her first husband) had died as a child, so she was "alone". With her husband gone, she had no reason to continue: she wanted to go ... and she was afraid to go (my mother's family weren't particularly religious).<br /><br />At some point, my aunt had a mild stroke, and called an ambulance (of course) ... and then tried to get my sisters to help her commit suicide!<br /><br />It seemed to me that she both wanted to die and was terrified of dying. Or, at any rate, was terrified of dying alone, with no one at her side.IlĂonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339406092961816142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-60676988546984833812020-07-08T07:41:05.320-07:002020-07-08T07:41:05.320-07:00Thanks, all.Thanks, all.K T Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259428595745509790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-46425280688789174542020-07-07T16:41:50.317-07:002020-07-07T16:41:50.317-07:00So very sorry for your loss.
