MY THOUGHTS ON DEATH AND DYING –

MY THOUGHTS ON DEATH AND DYING –

My thoughts on death and dying are unusual.

I am not one of those people who cries and cries and cries when a loved one passes away. I put their wants, needs, and feelings about their death ahead of mine. If they were sick and ready to go, I am happy for them. If they were unable to get through something traumatic or eternally painful and they want to go, I am happy for them when they pass.

Losing them isn’t about me, no matter how painful, soul-crushing, heartbreaking, or sad it is for me. Knowing that my loved one is at peace, free from their pain, makes it easier on me. I miss each and every one of them but I know that one day we will be together again.
