"Many paths, one truth."

I read a post by "@memoriestomonent," and learned that her spouse just entered hospice care. Since I am someone who has been there, I wish to share that a while back, I googled a lot of videos on the subject of the physical act of death--to prepare myself; and recently I was going to post links to some of the sites I visited because they might be helpful to some of you Forum members. I waited to do that, however, in case many of you might find the subject of physical death morbid. (That's not my personal view. From my perspective, death is not something that's good or bad: It's just a transition--just like birth was a transition into life.)

Today, I read an article that I hope will be comforting to anyone whose spouse or loved one is in the process of a physical transition, and here's the link (let me know if it doesn't work):

Physical death is just a change; and change (not physical life) is the only constant, with a few exceptions. One exception is the sense of community offered by this Forum. Since many of you members read the Bible, I want to share this passage:

The Lord God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” - Genesis 2:18 NIV

As I have often said, I am so glad I found this Forum, "a helper suitable for[me." So many of you have helped me get through each day, especially since I can't expect any empathy from my George--or his five children. (According to AI, "lack of empathy in dementia is a distressing but common behavioral symptom caused by physical damage to the brain’s frontal lobe, which regulates social behavior and emotions. It is a hallmark of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and also affects many with Alzheimer's disease.) George definitely has dementia. (I won't speculate on why his children (who love him dearly) have been part of the calvary that's not coming.)

Thank you all for being there for allof us, especially for people like @memories to moments and others who are waiting for the inevitable--something that is in the hands of a Higher Power.
(This uninvited journey is easier when we "let go, and let God.")

Blessings,
George's Wife
