Feeling sad today, it must be our age bracket..losing so many these days. Last night I found out that my cousin had finally given up his battle..He had had a bad stroke and was unable to do anything (I can't imagine the horror of being a prisoner in your body)yesterday he passed away..at peace finally. I was a late in life baby, part of a large family, but my cousins, even siblings are well into their seventies, some even eighties. Between my friends here and their families, my extended family and theirs....and then there are friends, my community, the public world and it goes on. So many of us are well past (shall I say) middle age. I remember once at about 55, I referred to myself as middle aged..my ever thoughtful "EX" said..so you plan to live for 110 yrs...grrrr, just another reason he's an ex. I've outlived my mother by five years, so far..the odds,(if I can avoid the big "C") like all the other women in my family I will reach the nineties..but who knows. There may be a transport truck with my name on the bumper. I accept my mortality, as sure as I was born..one day I will die, that doesn't bother me..so far..have had an awesome life. But I digress, I just seem overwhelmed by the many losses the past few years.  so many. There not much we can do, I'm sure I'm not alone. Death is as much a part of life as birth is..for any who have been touched by this sorrow lately...bless

Loss is indeed very p0resent at our stage in life. My personal feeling is that all of the loss is one of the things that prepares us for our own transition. Sort of like the discomforts of pregnancy prepare us for childbirth. I have long lived in the spirit world as well as this one but I find that as I travel my path and loose I spend more and more time on the Spirit side. Spiritwoman ^i^

At our age we have to expect losses, our friends and relatives aren't spring chickens either. Most of my husband's family, his sisters, even some of his nieces and nephews were older than me and some are long gone. Nothing we can do about it get live our own life to the fullest.

Morgana... I know what your going through. I have lost many in the past few years as well. I believe both my sisters died at 54. Such a young age and to go so tragically. I know my dear Mac had a good long life but he still went much too soon. It seems we were just married and poof. Cancer is such an ugly disease. Today one of my staff was soliciting funds for a Cancer walk. I immediately responded. Hopefully someday there will be a cure or much earlier diagnosis and treatment. Hang in there lady.

grouch..you are right, it's one reason I come here, for comfort and also to be comforting. because so many of my family members are quite a bit older...we will oof course lose more and more. For my cousin Henk, it must have been a welcome friend, there have just been so many, even my own sister...I think my family is just too big..oh well. And then we have cyber loss..friends who I have taken to my heart..Any way..I'm out of my funk, next blog full of joy, my grandchildren..the future.
