Alive death.

I may have said it before but I say it again. No matter how devastating it is to lose someone you love; it is a million times worse to see them suffer. The most important thing in life without doubt is your health. You cannot take some one's pain away no matter how much you love them. It is not easy to let someone go forever but to see them suffer is harder. Sure it is not in our hands to "let someone go". Not talking about euthanasia. That is a subject on it's own. What I mean is even to think that time has come that they better go than suffer like this is letting them go.

There are many types of deaths. The usual one being the death of a living body in traditional sense. The death of a friendship, relationship, hope and expectation, of love or of a mind due to illness is as sad as the death of a body. I go as far as to say it is more sad because no one else see that death. There is no mourning period for them. Some times mental illness kills the mind, the personality, the person. It is difficult to accept that death, not just for the patient, the carer but for the world. When a serious illness changes the whole person, it feels like the death of the old/original person. There may be another person who has taken over, who is different but you don't know them. I want to talk about it but leave it till next time.

Good Night. I know this is four hours early but still have work to catch up on.

Comments:
And seeing someone suffer makes us, the viewers suffer too B'. But unlike T.V shows, this is for real. Don't throw your life away on extra hours and extra duties at work. That's avoidance. I know from experience that we live to regret it. So give what you can now. Whilst you still can. And avoid the guilt later....
Remember Joni Mitchell and Big yellow taxi? "Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone".

Love him. Accept him. Mourn the the loss of what you had. But only once.
And yes, sometimes it is in our power to let someone go. Sit and stare with me again one day.
