On the verge of death

This is my first publication in the community and I want to do it with a fact that has been very hard for me because a dear friend is struggling between life and death and I am not in the country, to be by her side and share her pain with your loved ones who are part of that family that you choose for yourself.

Given the impossibility of being present, I made this reflection to her, to see if my good vibes and my best wishes accompany her, illuminate her and lift her up.

Without further ado, here is what I wrote and sent to your son:

I didn't know how to be there at this hard and difficult moment for you and yours, to visit you, to contemplate even from afar your body subject to life, your being fighting against death, your life clinging to life.

In a moment of lucidity I had the idea of ​​sending you these letters that contain the affection and respect that all of us who know, admire and respect you feel for you, it is not about a beautiful text, a beautiful speech or an excellent reflection, It is simply that: a group of honest, heartfelt, sincere words.

It hurts a lot to feel that someone we love is leaving us; it hurts us, our whole soul hurts; It is a strange feeling of frustration and helplessness.

What can I do for someone when they are on the brink of the abyss? How can I, without being a doctor, alleviate the pain, reduce the illness, eliminate the disease? These questions come again and again, in similar situations with other loved ones and the answer is in the beautiful things that you do: brighten the lives of others, practice good deeds, love your loved ones as you love yours. , demonstrate them daily and help from the richness of daily actions or by making good a permanent rule.

It hurt me a lot when I found out about your illness, I didn't expect it, I couldn't accept the idea that you were missing your work, that I wouldn't be able to see you leading the events that are to come, that you wouldn't be in your usual place attracting attention. on a certain topic or that you simply wouldn't be there, to annoy, annoy, warn, annoy.

At a certain moment a premonition came to me: she is not leaving, she cannot leave because she still has a lot to do. And it's good that my hunch was right, you can't leave because in the world we need human beings like you, because you are an antonym of sadness, pain, bitterness; You can't leave because the feeling needs your soul and your reason; Those of us who love you demand that you stay, that you continue to brighten our lives and continue to provide your love and affection, you cannot leave because in the poet's words: "When one is part of the happiness of others, one has no right to leave"

Take good care of yourself, my friend, we still miss you very much.
