...walking among the brave
they lay there aware
told of truth they can't react....

hearing the words..
nodding heads around twisted hope
wondering when the last breath
will release them from pain..

waiting now is all I can do..
I have no knife..no experience
to save you...so I drive
the highway takes me there
 
Death is one of those harsh realities of life. When I was in this situation I would pray to God to just show me the way. Show me the right things to say and do. Help me to accept what I can't change. God is there for you and will guide you through this difficult time. And, remember, keep writing. We're here to listen. God bless.
 
I recently collapsed and had to go to an ER. I was thrust in a situation where I thought I was going to die.

I've turned to koi ponds, bonzai trees, rocks, fountains for peace...

There is a quote I remember from Ghost Dog that I've found great wisdom in. It originally comes from a samurai warrior but I don't have the name:

"There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the moment. A man's whole life is a succession of moment after moment. If one fully understands the present moment, there is nothing left to do, and nothing else to pursue."

I hope you find peace and that for your friend there is no fear.

Oh yeah, I loved your words.
 
We panic whilst hoping we don't or they don't as the case could be and hope no-one dies because we don't want them to.

Take care
 
we ask for strength for them and for ourselves
we shed tears for what we know
we hold hands to our chests and gasp for a breath
we plead to our God to be merciful
we do this and more
all the while
forgetting
who the survivor is

edit: Mizzy...thank you for understanding
 
ok HP, i'll edit this
maybe smiling is not right

since I put some of my pieces into this, and thought of how I lost someone, and more of of my healing

ok , I'll shut up
but even with a foot in my mouth
there is always room
for prayers

I apologize. I don't know the whole story.
