Steve's completely unexpected death nearly 9 years ago taught me alot about life and death. I am always saddened by the sight of a dead animal by the roadside, and when animals died in a book I read as a child, it made me cry much more than when a person died. <br />Friends and family members have died during the 50 years I have been around now, and will continue to do so. Eventually, it will be my turn. I don't fear it, but I can not really imagine it, either.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-77820968157790791642018-05-07T09:33:20.438+01:002018-05-07T09:33:20.438+01:00I found dark humour in your first two sentences bu...I found dark humour in your first two sentences but of course NOT in the link.

I grew up the youngest in my family and the youngest of my Grandmother's grandchildren. I did not realize as a child that because I was the youngest I would live to see most of those I love die. I have seen all my grandparents, parents, in-laws, all of my aunts and uncles, most of my cousins and one of my two brothers die. It is difficult but we must carry on for them and for our children and grandchildren. Death is part of life I am afraid. But we don't have to like it.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17738727252267659979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-87199617134359392392018-05-06T21:32:39.012+01:002018-05-06T21:32:39.012+01:00I am pleased to deduce that you got through to the...I am pleased to deduce that you got through to the other side of the chemotherapy Christina.

I don't fear what comes after, because I don't think anything comes after, but as Ms. Moon said, I fear pain and suffering and being unable to care for myself. Not a nice thought on a sunny Sunday afternoon.<br /><br />Dealing with the recent loss of my mother in law has been rough. Since she lived a couple of hours away, and we didn't see her all that often, so it still seems impossible to me that she's actually gone. :( Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-13432506650644033052018-05-06T17:11:01.143+01:002018-05-06T17:11:01.143+01:00I believe that we underestimate many of the other ...I believe that we underestimate many of the other creatures that inhabit this planet.

We have lots of discussions about this as we are not frightened by it, in fact sometimes when the body is tired and life is difficult it is something that could almost be welcomed. Don't be alarmed we are not depressed or fed up with life, just realistic.<br />Of course we have lost more people than we can count on both hands and yet it still remains a mystery, something that cannot be figured out.<br />Briony<br />x crafty cat cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251582085392890533noreply@blogger.com
