I am sad. I am deeply moved by your family, your father, and you. It is so relevant what you say. If you get this please let me know where you get the wisdom and understanding of what needs to be done through the dying/living process of letting go? And how to be there after with him until burial. I am told the old way of the Jews was as you speak. A cab driver in NYC told me it is that way in Mexico. Another said same way in his home country in Africa. It is the way of the heart isn't it.

Do I want somebody with me as I die someday? I don't know. I do want Christ and He as said "I am with you always, even unto the end." That would be important. <br />I do think it helps the person standing by the side of a dying person, so yes, I would like others to be there with me if they want to be.Riverwatchhttp://unearthlylanding.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1258838496077788880.post-77251568379683935342012-12-21T21:47:28.493-08:002012-12-21T21:47:28.493-08:00Thanks for your marvelous posting!

In our culture the family will take care of our own in their own home until the day they die. The departed is never left alone until their burial. We will accompany dad to the Funeral Parlour, dress him and bring him home (in his casket) where he will "lie in state" for three days - with family at his side at all times. It is a very spiritual time and helps with the grieving process immensely. I too have family members that are not comfortable coping with the dying process however the human spirit has this incredible ability to release all fear and "do what it has to do" to help your loved one feel loved, comfortable and keeping their dignity intact wherever possible. Dad has recently started to decline and has a huge fear of death however, reminding him that it "is OK" has reassured him that there should be nothing to be afraid of.

I am still new to this and did not recognize a new comment ever so long ago. If you like here is my email, cassandrarn@yahoo.com. I would like very much to know how you are doing. Most all of us are fearful of another going through what your near family member went through. It is so difficult. And part of it for me is knowing what in the world to say, or do. Please, if you wish, let me know how you are doing.

So many people are afraid of not just their own death but death in general. It makes people uncomfortable to see just how easily life can be gone, or how painfully....I have been that person as well, not wanting to be near a family member who was dying of brain cancer because it scared me. How horrible of me! Now that I have cancer death is a very real possibility and it is unfortunately something that occupies my thoughts on too many occasions. I can only hope and pray that when my time comes someone will not be too afraid to be by my side holding my hand.<br />I very much appreciate your blog.<br />Peace, love, light, joy, and health <br />LauraThe Cancer Assassinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11064691678410741459noreply@blogger.com
