Within 24 hours I learned of two deaths. One from the hospice and the other someone I knew from the outside world.
Hearing about a resident’s death always saddens me, but I know it’s coming. I expect it, it is inevitable. The sudden death of a person you know has a shock value that is new and confusing.
I’m so used to death I think I’m above it, like it can’t touch me, but it can and it does. My reactions may be different from what is considered normal, but I am not immune to the absoluteness of how sudden it can be. Even when you know it’s coming.
Anyway, it’s been a long day, and I fear I may be rambling and making very little sense. So, I will stop with an inscription from Sophia De Mello Breyner.
“When I die I will return to seek
The moments I did not live by the sea”
Goodbye to you both…
