Re: How to hold it together for an ill relative
None of my immediate family(parents, brother) has died yet so if this sounds a little glib, maybe it is.
Remember that you will be joining your relative in death in just a little while.
Remember that every person has to die and that billions have done so before your relative so there is a lot of experience out there. When I die I wonder if I will feel any comradery with those who have gone before me.
Once, I thought I was going to die, not in an immediate way, and I knew one thing for sure; that I did not want to. I don't remember it that well(unfortunately) but I doubt I could've found comfort for myself with any of the above.
