Why is it that when someone is sick & dying that I feel our relationship is clos!


Question: It's weird but my most valued relationships have been with people that are deceased now. It seems that we were able to be honest & open. Also, just this past year my Mom & I have gotten really close this past year & before X-mas she was diagnosed with cancer. Her cancer is treatable but not curable. We've been talking about anything & everything. My motto in life has always been "life is too short" and now it really is. I just wish people wouldn't have to be sick to realize they can get along.

You are right, people should be close without
illness or death.
We need to start each day as if it were our last day and fill that day with joy and make the day count for you and other people

It sounds like you have an intutive soul.

You realize that the time you have together is precious so you enjoy it more.. and you don't get caught up in stupid little things.

That's what separation is all about - brings you closer together.

you answered your own question.......
your out look...
the person does not have to be dying, you have the personality to be open ..and you use it without indifference....
your last comment..would make world peace....

i have a friend who is dying of cystic fibrosis we used to hang out all the time i haven't seen him in a while cause i have been real busy at work but now i am laid off and looked him up again he is in real bad shape now and i feel like i should spend as much time with him as possible before he dies i guess what im saying is i wish we had more time to hang out like we used to and life is precious but we don't realize that until its too late and now we are trying to make up for lost time

To best prepare ourselves for the inevitable, the mending of ties is good.

All sentient beings fear death, but these before death actions help the terminally ill to leave with the grace that is granted to all when one comes to terms with the way one has lived life.

In a way, the terminally ill are offered what most are not-the window of opportunity in which they may remedy any/all wrongs.

Appreciate your time together.
Death is a good reminder that life is transient. Be Well And Happy!

my mother had 2 heart attacks Thanksgiving and out of all my brothers and sister i took her in and take care of her. we where never close but we are now BACK TO WAKING UP TO POLKA'S every morning
