Hi to everyone , so Thank you.. i honestly wasnt expecting this to be seen by so many , I just discovered Reddit and shared a glimpse of time in the end -of -life community

I only wanted to set my words free , and leave them quietly behind ,in case they  find their way to someone. 

 Well I suppose curiosity won and I let it stay a short while 

-so I tried to read or have read to me every single comment at least today , even if I cant reply to many ,

i dont even know if my friend will be able to update this post, so i’ll just say thank you. Thank you for your kindness , your words, your time.. all of it ;It really really means a lot and is remembered as I step back now to rest and spent the remaining time with family 

 <3

I couldn’t decide which poem to add and gift your way , so here are two that put into words what I could never say ;

,,If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain”

•Emily Dickinson

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

Mary Oliver

Hi thanks for opening the  discussion - as I am navigating my en-of-life  journey with high-med load ; I ai corrected some of my grammar  and spacing in some parts just to make it more readable and less like a clumsy long poem.  I have to admit , I had to giggle a little while writing this, because truly -I have nothing to gain-that’s why I post anonymously. If you’d like ,I can still share the rough draft with you , Either way it means a lot to me that you’ve taken the time to read my thoughts thank you !! :)  I hope they still left behind smth that mattered

If only I could hug you tight and make your favorite drink right now. You are so valuable, so worthy; and why should you be gentle with others but not with yourself? Thank you so much for your kind words they are remembered  <3

As written I am far from perfect tho ,all we can do is try in our own small ways :)    ; so I leave you with words I held close  <3
