Yes Dear <b>Marique & Violette</b> this is all so very true & sad. I have never feared death,but know many who do & don't wish to discuss it. Also, I agree that people just don't know what to say/do & absolutely are thankful NOT them or fear it!! I dearly LOVe elderly folk,always have. I honour my elders as was once the custom to do, now in US are treated as "disposable" people, I enjoyed volunteering at "adult day care" & nursing homes,when I was able to. It is very sad…

I honour my elders as was once the custom to do, now in US are treated as "disposable" people, I enjoyed volunteering at "adult day care" & nursing homes,when I was able to. It is very sad however that few family members visited and how lonely it is for so many.<br />
We took care of my Grandmother before she passed at home, where we took turns looking after her ,she died from a brain tumor. I was saddened by her absence but joyful she passed at home knowing she was loved .. I will NEVER let anyone put me in an old folks or nursing home!! I will die first.<br />
Much Love to you both & thankyou for replies. smiles 4 u..hugs xx<br />

It is especially true what you said about people not wanting to talk about death. People get uncomfortable around people who are terminally ill and don't know what to say, and generally avoid contact when at all possible. And it is true the thought process is like this "poor person, so sad, glad as hell it isn't me......" I don't want to say or do anything to make the sick person uncomfortable so I will just avoid that person all together. That is why so often in nursing homes a lot of…
It is especially true what you said about people not wanting to talk about death. People get uncomfortable around people who are terminally ill and don't know what to say, and generally avoid contact when at all possible. And it is true the thought process is like this "poor person, so sad, glad as hell it isn't me......" I don't want to say or do anything to make the sick person uncomfortable so I will just avoid that person all together. That is why so often in nursing homes a lot of elderlies are very lonely, because even people in their families do not like to go see them because it is frightening to them. When they go there they think, oh my god this could be me here when I am older, and it scares the hell out of me. So sad that people do not know how to deal with the dying process and the aging process....creates more fear and yet more lonliness. That is not what life is supposed to be all about.

Des~ I do think the fear of being seen differently by friends & the possibility of rejection is another reason we don't discuss theese things freely. Also,as you said the possibility of causing discrimination in job market is a big one as well. I no longer have to be concerned about employers,but in some situations of non profit volunteering work,it remains a concern. My "disability status" does make it difficult if I were able to work part time again. Thank you for leaving a comment here,…

Thank you for leaving a comment here, it means alot to me and I do understand all you said. iPeace is a safe haven of loving caring understanding people. Even with that said, I have had new friends dissapear after discussing my limitations. I wrote this post hoping to get a good discussion going about this,even though only 2 replied,what has been said here I do hope makes it easier for others to open up & express themselves more freely. I know it has helped me. Thank you & Marique for your open ,honest replies. Many Blessings and..<br />
