    So tomorrow we are goin to see sister diffrance for what may well be the last time,,if it aint,,it will surley be the next to last..

    Truley is gonna be a awkward time,,
    see we goin to get her dog on account shes no longer able to care for him,,now she wants us to pick thru her personall possesions as well...

    Tis fucked up,, she truly has a lot of "phamily", but do to the nationals,, there all in the woods.
    She has no "family"..

    So i know she needs us to pick thru her shit blah blah blah blah..

    But it just seems so icky..

    How would you handle it?

    Luv~N~Lite

    "near death",, and "death bed" are 2 entireley diffrent things..

    Shes gone "livin on borrowed time" is what her doc told her,, 6 months at best (and he was bein kind, we give it 6 weeks)

    Hell everyones been "near death" at least once in there minds eye.. few go giving all there shit away..

    hey.. I've been 'near death' a couple of times, including near "death bed".. ok?

    I know it's hard.. been there.. done that. Hold his hand, watched him struggle for like litteraly 24/7, although trying to get a few hours of sleep in shifts.. and was there when he actually died. Saw the body being washed, carried away.. and a few month later the same story again with another person.

    You could've just asked instead of bashing me.. nice going dude, I was trying to be friendly.

    what I do at the moment is harder then helping people through the deathprocess imho.. everyone dies sometimes.. not everyone suffers during life.

    I'd grab it all, tell her to have a good time, and get the hell out of there

    someone dying isnt very hard to deal; with .....they no longer care about their stuff n just want company .its surviving somthing bad thats more painfull to watch ....its like life in jail is worse than a speedy excecution .

    I think that yes she probably does care about her stuff,and maybe she cares about you and wants to give you a part of herself.She probably does need to have people around her who care,if you can imagine what that feels like,then you will know what to do.Surround her with love and light,in person and from afar...You will be okay,good luck!

    That's cool she wants you to choose something to remember her by. A momento for you to hold onto,something to pass on to a son or daughter. Be gracious & accepting. It's an act of love from her for you. I sat with an elderly person who passed. The 'family' arrived after the funeral to glean any little bit they could from the house;they even took the roll of toilet tissue from the roller & the shower head! These folks are bankers,real estate brokers,not poor or needy,GREEDY! She may be wanting to prevent that scene from happening after her death. NOT ALL FAMILIES ARE LIKE THIS,but....
