Their deaths were really... overdue. It was almost a relief. They fought their deaths off with everything they had. It was draining on the family. <br /><br />Your dad. A jealous husband? That's funny! <br /><br />My daughter's obviously was not timely. It was a surprise, a shock. <br /><br />I want to go in a flash, when I'm older. I'd like to see what my son does with his life. I am not afraid of dying at all.

Education lacking. <br /><br />Your Dad spits out his pain meds likely because they make him less aware of what's going on around him. It would seem he prefers the pain to that... grogginess.<br /><br />Even now, his being killed by a jealous husband would be so much harder (than even this) on your Mom. Just sayin'.Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518858062969978457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31359766.post-6595890354178730422011-08-26T10:16:04.785-07:002011-08-26T10:16:04.785-07:00Zoom,

I used to be a hospice volunteer briefly (moved soon after training) and still think that one of the best reads is the book by two hospice nurses, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Final-Gifts-Understanding-Awareness-Communications/dp/0553378767/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1314376882&sr=1-1" rel="nofollow">Final Gifts</a>. <br /><br />For some reason I've been either around or involved in friend and family deaths from a young age yet have never been there "at the moment". However, I've seen good death scenarios and, well, "not the way I want to go" deaths. I wish your dad what he needs for his exit. Maybe he can come back in 9 years and somehow play out the jealous husband scenario. You if these things are possible, they're likely not as neat and linear as we think.<br /><br />Congrats on your blogiversary. I'm always intrigued at how you start out with noting that you have nothing to say. However, your posts generally draw me in and interest me much more than the folks who think they have a lot to say. I glad you continued writing beyond the SSDI process but not daily. Daily blogs usually burn me out.<br /><br />Good luck with Medicare envelope stare-down and eventual process. Let us know how that goes for those of us following behind you.<br /><br />DonnaBibliotekarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06896112760553996504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31359766.post-87372095399385826292011-08-25T17:21:51.412-07:002011-08-25T17:21:51.412-07:00Oooo...a Jayne Cobb quote.Oooo...a Jayne Cobb quote.Scarecrownoreply@blogger.com
