Loss
I have had a number of posts in my head for the past couple of weeks but keep stopping when it comes to writing them. I'm not sure why? Is it that I don't want to share? Is it that it always seems ...

It makes me wonder, how will I go? How will I deal with it; if it is " slow "? Maybe I will die " suddenly "? How will my children deal with it? Maybe now they are older it will be " easier"? I always said, I want " time to say goodbye. " My friend wants to go " quick. " Will have to wait and see I guess.....
Life is painful but, also joy, and in between. Let the tears flow; you can only cry so much. Do not deny your feelings, and that works for children also.
Have you written them letters, they can read and reread later? Talking about death and dying is ok. I am not sure how they may feel or think regarding it. We want to shield our loved ones from pain and suffering, but can it also be a catalyst for " growth " and awareness? They will be ok...
As you have supported your friends with cancer, I pray others will support your chidren. I am sorry you have to deal with the loss of some of your friends, at this time too. It is ok to take some time out and recharge. It must be an emotional and physical drain on you right now, so please TC.
Fingers crossed, Kathy.
