When my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer it came with tremendous pain. When dealing with her own disease she created space in her mind to accept what she could not control. The death of a loved one remains challenging in moving on. Its a process that is individual and private. The outside may look like things are okay, but the feelings must be felt. Its wonderful to be courageous and its beautiful to be vulnerable.

Talking with someone about these feelings - a partner, a dear friend, a spiritual advisor, someone you trust - can help you process these feelings so that they no longer weigh you down. It may take many tries, but can help you feel that a burden has been lifted. It can help you move on to care for other physical and emotional tasks that are part of the end of life.

Thank you for making my day!

The older we get the more regularly we experience death. Having this kind of out look maybe is for the best

Good point about increased exposure to death as we age ... sad, but true and potentially instructive.

This talk really is an inspiration.

Thank you, Ed. I'm truly encouraged to hear that :)

Great talk Jodi! We're so distracted by other peoples lives and the mundane aspects of our own that we can easily fall in to a rut and stop appreciating what we have!

That's so true... it's all too easy to take our lives for granted. Worth making an effort to stop and appreciate our time.
