I love the line about it would be a tragedy to have the experience but to not learn … I think that is the missing link in many ways to life these days
I worked in the prison during this time and it blew my mind to see the care given to prisoners vs the health care workers themselves and those on the outside trying to live and paying for their health care that seemed impossible to access and helpless …
I have seen many documentaries and the health care system here and our care or view of elders is something we really do need to change but also parents need to stop having kids “so I have someone to care for me “ and or if they live this way then treat the child in a way that makes them value you and want to care for you - you can not be abuse and trash parents then expect your child to bear your dying burden as well
I found the foreword and intro to speak to that when you have love and are raised in love that bond is formed but it also makes the death , struggle, hardship etc of that person something much greater and more unbearable
I am so interested to see what lessons are shared here and what I can gain from this
I often don’t think I’ll fear the loss of my parents (again the relationships can be VERY different) but even a second thinking of losing my husband has me in tears …. Also the loss of grandma at 16 was likely the worse she was my mother, grandma , girlfriend , counselor - everything rolled into one and now 20 plus years later I still have regrets in her passing
Death is a weird thing and I do think talking about it helps us to see how impossible it is to normalize but the uncertainty and intensity of the ride can be normalized and there are always lessons to learn
