My dying Aunt, going up to visit with her a bit before she falls into coma from cancer. She's unable to eat after radiation treatment, her asophogus is destroyed and she's chosen not to take a feeding tube so she's losing strength.
I just hate this fact of life, it has to be faced with acceptance, it is life, it is death, the end of a cycle .
I am praying this morning to handle this with the same dignity that she is. I have a great deal of guilt for not being with my family at my brother inlaws side when he passed away I did see him 2 weeks before but I feel like i should have been there so I want to be at my familys side from now on when they pass, for them and for me.
God grant me the serentiy to accept what can't be changed and courage to face that, amen.
In support and prayer Vin! We are made new in recovery,we have owed up to the wreakage of our past and can go forward in God's grace living in a fit spiritual condition ,a day at a time.Go with God my friend........

Our purpose is to remain clean,just for today,and to carry the message of recovery.
Dealing with death is one of the hardest parts of life, especially when we want to take away the pain and suffering. As a nurse who has done end of life care, I have witnessed so much love and compassion from families who set aside their own fears and sit and hold a hand, kiss a forehead, let their loved ones know they are not alone. Bless you & your family for pulling together and being there for your Aunt. Prayers are with you. Peace.
