Acceptance

There comes a time when you have to let your loved ones go.

I know it is hard, and that it may seem like an impossible task to face life without them.

But if your special someone is suffering from incurable pancreatic cancer, and the doctor's here have said that there are no more treatment options, and the best thing to do is to make him comfortable; do not cart him on a fourteen-hour flight to Hong Kong to try some herbal remedies.

The last thing you want to have happen is for him to become horribly ill on the flight home, and to have to go straight from the airport to the ER, and then have him die overnight from the toll the trip has taken on him.

Wouldn't it have been much nicer to have had him pass away peacefully in the palliative care unit or at home, surrounded by those he loves, then in a busy, noisy, smelly emergency room?

Just putting it out there.
