Why give life, only to snatch it away later on? Why make those who near the end of their life, struggle and live in pain? Why make those who love them, watch it and know they can't do anything about it? Why?

Somehow we seem to ignore the reality of life, that death is approaching but we ignore it. We don't accept that no matter what we do, we will not win this fight. Instead we hide our emotions. Is it right, or are we missing out on something important, by playing this game of charades, this game of life?

We hope we can, pray we can, yet we know, we will not win. Death is too powerful, too persistent. Best we can hope for is to make the passing easier. Thing is, it tears us apart, brings us to despair even, because its not what you can share, with others. It is a lonely fight, that we won't win.

You are taught to go out & win, but in care giving, there is no victory, just death.

Me, I think I fall apart first, then eventually work through it, but David is different. It is almost like death has no meaning, no question as to what happens. Not in a religious sense either. Odd how we all deal so differently with things.
