14. Wow, big topic.
I had a profound experience with death last year when my beloved 19 yr old cat, Alfalfa, literally died in my arms. She'd been declining for a while, but the last few days of her life, I was doing kitty hospice for her 'round the clock. It was deeply moving to me and I felt gifted by the entire experience, as heart-breaking as it was. To die in the arms of Love is my wish for all of us. O8) May we be so blessed.

Since I also happen to be a Hospice volunteer, I've spent a lot of time with people who are "close to the edge of life", so to speak. It is my greatest privilege to be of service in this way and to bear witness to the Mystery.....

In the end, only kindness matters. :loveya:
