Never say Never: Covid and intensely itchy nose

Thank you but I have 7 different doctors keeping me alive too. I was born defective and have had to deal with adversity all my 78 years. I draw my strength from my Maternal Grandfather who was Native American and survived the 1918 pandemic at age 52. Hope you are well yourself.

My Step-Father was part Pueblo and my Step-Sister and Step-Brother are Lakota. From them, I learned a tradition I’d like to share with you. When someone departs this life, a loved one is to carry that person’s soul for a week to ten days. Doing so means looking at the world through the eyes of the one who departed. At the end of the 7-10 days, the soul-carrier will find a sign saying “thank you”. It is a great comfort. I carried my Step-Father’s soul. The sign I found was a long feather on the ground in a part of the world where the bird doesn’t live or visit. My Step-Father had always lived with his roots in the ground of his ancestors, but with an eye to the wonderment of the birds of flight. It is perfectly acceptable for each of us to “designate” who we wish to carry our soul
