Easier said than done, for by: Easier said than done, for by chance we dissatisfy and tire ourselves with our own authenticity, seeking that idol of prose we've come to worship as 'properly performed verse'
RE: to the guy who just pm'd me... : there is no female ego...
to the other guy who pm'd me... ask yourself why you're so offended by what I said...
to the other other guy who pm'd me... I know you are but what am I and I will admit that the comment about it being too bad that Nutella is not the substance which comes out of the tip of a penis was inappropriate for the venue, which was aisle A7 at Walmart, and time, 6am on Sunday morning, in which it was delivered but I will not apologize for the delivery, it was hilarious... and in all fairness I thought the OG standing next to me had his hearing aide turned off...
Yes, I meant "near death: Yes, I meant "near death experience". I was moved, almost to tears, by your memories of your precious friend's passing. Wishing you comfort and peace.
History repeats: Thank you. I know, I had been preparing since the dx. Hence my decision to write this poem.
It is "funny" that even after more than 2 decades in that field, given the same advice countless times. Yet it comes to your own pets…
Admittedly, despite all of that I was still not fully prepared.
I also acknowledge the similarities of when my own mother passed from metastatic breast cancer, and how privileged I was to be holding both of them in my arms as they had their final breath.
This weekend has been difficult, my muscle memory from the experience is causing a whole body flashbacks to feeling his body collapse and crumple in my arms, still proving to be such a pronounced visceral moment.
I assume (despite how dangerous it is) that NDE means near death experience? I can completely understand those sensations and memorie. I can only hope that when it is my time, I will be blessed with such an experience.
My deepest sympathy. I know: My deepest sympathy. I know that pain, a pain that is crushing and inconsolable because your fur baby was a part of the family: a part of you. My heart goes out to you during this difficult time, but I'm glad to know that you realize that he lives on. Several NDE accounts include reunions with beloved pets.
Peace and comfort to you.
