I am also a person who doesn't like euphemisms and call a spade a spade.Penthehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226869141298079186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-11029365228156264812010-08-26T17:22:32.089-11:002010-08-26T17:22:32.089-11:00Looking at another's death, our horror is not ...Looking at another's death, our horror is not for what has happened to them, but for our own loss, of friend, spouse, support etc.<br />It is a Self-ish thing.<br /><br />Gingatao.com a Brisbane blogger and published poet, has died of an accident, and one by one his commentors are arriving to discover this and be stunned for a while afterwards. as I was.<br /><br />The person facing death, is shocked startled, unwilling, mostly because of ill-preparedness. As you quote 'the wise man is always ready to go'.<br />Have affairs in order, tidy drawers, a Will, and then relax.<br />To that end, I will now tidy this room. I would hate to have aneurysm and have cleanup crew think I was a messy person.<br /><br />Since 'one in four' has a bad back, it is hard to faff off to the quack whining about it, so I do send you and your friend my empathy and sympathy that this has gone badly. Please do though, live in hopeAnn ODynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159263330547329077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-8153269835634562602010-08-26T01:45:16.605-11:002010-08-26T01:45:16.605-11:00I am sorry for you, Nick, at this time.

My heart feels heavy for you.<br /><br />I so agree about the language we use for death. For me too, when I die, I die.Bekkieannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13058996951400003081noreply@blogger.com
