You are most welcome; and thank you for re-confirming that for me!
You are most welcome. No one teaches us how to deal with facing death and that is wrong. You are not prepared and scared and fearful. I wish I had someone teaching me and telling me I should not be afraid.
I grew up in a big European family and knew death early on. My parents believed in taking us kids to the funerals and talking about death like we talked about the living. I remember at 5 years old, my sister and I standing by my grandfather's coffin, daring each other to touch him...not in a bad way, just a curious, child-like way. My grandmother took our hand and rubbed grandpa's cheek with it, and told us not to be afraid. It was a huge lesson and one I have kept with me my entire life.
I'm sorry that you missed out on those lessons because it may have made your ordeal with your mother a little bit easier to handle or even just a little bit less frightening.
This is a perfect example how death and dying should be presented. the same as is birth. It is part of life. What you've experienced as a child, I faced as an adult. Some even never do. Your story and your experience is unique. Thank you so much for sharing it.
You are so welcome. I did the same with my own kids too. You're right, death should be treated the same as birth; both natural occurrences that we as human beings face.
Exactly, I so agree with you 100%.
