Death Is A Gift And A Thief.

My friend died today.

His cancer progressed so swiftly, it devoured him long before the time the doctors had estimated - they said that with an operation, and chemotherapy, he could live at least 3 months -after the operation, he didn't live 3 weeks.

Death is a gift for the release from pain, and the torment of a body fighting itself.

Death is a thief for stealing my friend from those who loved him so.

  2. I am sorry. I see death as inevitable part of living. I wish that our cells didn't age and our organs didn't die. Or that disease didn't take us. I hope that you will find comfort in having the time that you did with him.

  3. I am so sorry about your loss. There is in the program, at least, a place to continue to go through this where people will allow you to talk and grieve as much as you need to.
