"Sometimes It Takes More Courage To Live, Than To Die."
Don't Jump... Fly.
I Created this Extract the Day After the 5 Month Anniversary of my Beloved 4th Husband John's Death. He Died of Lung Cancer, at Home, in my arms. I was his "Official Caregiver" for 7 Months after he was Diagnosed at Stage IV. Prognosis for Survival... about 4% I think it was Then. Fought Hard to Save Him... Loved and Lost, the "Love Of My Life". He was "Skin and Bones" on the Day he Died. I was Badly Traumatised Then... both by the Nature of His Painful Death, also by the Painful Fact that I couldn't SAVE Him. No matter How Hard I TRIED.
Many Widows and Widowers Kill Themselves within the First Few Months after the "Love Of Their Life" has Died. Actually, within the First Two Years After, according to "Statistics". I KNOW WHY. I have My Reasons Why I Did Not. But God Knows... I Wanted To. Still Do At Times. But I Resist that Temptation... Every Time It Whispers in my Ear and says "Jump"!!! Just Stubborn I Guess. But also Because... I KNOW there are Enough "Good Reasons" Why I should Stay in This World, as Long as I Can, Instead of Trying to Follow John. In spite of My Pain of Losing him, that often makes it So Hard to SLEEP at Night.
You See... I'm Re-LEARNING "How To Count My Blessings". Something We Should All Get In the Habit Of Doing, When Life Gets "Too Tough To Bear". Don't You Think?
