In Shock

 

I found out last night that my closest friend has breast cancer.  She has been living with me for some time and we are like sisters, having met in high school.

 

I am still reeling from the news and trying to find my way as I deal with my own feelings and how I can support her.

 

My eternal self recognizes that we are all eternal beings, but my ego doesn't want to lose her and I can't help but find my mind going back to past loses and how painful they were. 

 

I am trying to stay in the present moment and savor my time with her and keep present to the  amazing opportunities for healing that she has available to her, but I find myself slipping periodically into fear.

 

Thank goodness I am working with Eckhart Tolle's book as it is helping me stay present.  I realize it is in this space that I can offer support and healing for us both.

A FRIEND IN NEED, A FRIEND INDEED ...

I do feel for you about your friend's predicament.  Miracles do happen.  Have faith because it does move mountains.  I've had repeated this so many times to few members who had been in grief.  And I'm saying it again ... because I experienced it with my hubby (he cheated death 3 times - one of which was lung cancer!).  And he's very well as of this writing - alive and bouncing!

 

At its latter stage, death is inevitable.  We all face our Maker (one after another ...by, schedule, by level).  If the case with your friend is irreversible, there is nothing one can do to stop it.  I'm just so glad that you're very much in tune with ETolle's teachings.  That would help a great deal (as what we, followers, do grasp his every word).  At the same time, I am also suggesting a good read of Ellisabeth Kubler-Ross' "On Death and Dying".  It is a very good book (and should be available in most libraries).  I was fortunate enough to come across it in the mid-70s ... long before my father passed away.  And when he did go, I experienced the most amazing journey with him up to his last breath.  Find a schedule to have a glimpse of this book, it's worth the time.

 

I wish for your friend a miraculouos recovery and I hope you both will be able to deal with it ... if it's already too late.  It's never late, anyway.

 

My thoughts and prayers are with you both.  Look after both of you.

 

Have a blissful weekend, M3!

 

Cheers,

Sending you lots of love Sending you BOTH prayers, healing thoughts, love, sunshine and bubbles.
