Definition of Euthanasia: the intentional killing by act or omission of a dependent human being for his or her alleged benefit. (The key word here is "intentional". If death is not intended, it is not an act of euthanasia)
Nice concept. Can be applied to relationships as well.
The intentional killing by act or omission of a dependent human relationship for its alleged benefit. Yes, the key word here is also "intentional".
What is it about black print on stark paper that makes everything seem so final? No matter how much you prepare yourself, you can never be fully prepared. And they tell me it just gets a whole lot worse until it starts to get better again.
I'm just glad I have the strength and resilience to deal with this. I'm also glad I have some good friends holding my hand through it all.
In about six months, the final curtain will fall.
I'm OK.

I'm holding your hand too,virtually though :P
Good Luck brave woman !
It is going to be far better from there. loads of sunshine for you. Cheers
I hope you have friends and family close by to see you through the bad times.
Thank you all!
My dear friend, as we say in Jamaica, "What don't kill yuh, fatten yuh"
Translation: What does not kill you makes you stronger. But I prefer our version .. as I am sure you will appreciate as a Master Wordsmith.
Sweetie Pie, black on white only a jolt of reality... but you know what? The same coin that brings sorrow now once brought joy (Gibran). Sorrow and sadness are part of the continuum of this earthly existence. Embrace the sad feelings for such a time as this and dig deep trenches into your soul to let out the agony and pain. Why? So that when it is time to laugh, you would have already dug a deep hole into your soul so that the laughter will from then on come from a deeper place and find release. (Gibran-so you can weep all of your tears and laugh all of your laughter).
Your honesty and openess are stamps of your authenticity.
You phenomenal woman, you will rise.
Oozing love into the universe... just for you.
For once I wish, I could reach out and tell you a joke and lighten you up...give you a smile and say look there's another day tomorrow, another sunrise, another dew drop to look forward to...
Keep walking. (same goes for the tag line for Johnny Walker as well)
..Cheers!!!
@Sheer - Haha... that's sweet. Well, this damn separation did "fatten" me up literally :-)
But I get what you're saying and I have always believed and lived by that maxim. Whatever doesn't kill you does make you stronger, indeed. More on your blog... Love you.
@Himanshu - Thank you so much. I will keep walking, and hopefully someday I will run as well.
All of you blogging buddies are really wonderful. Thanks for holding my hand through these trying times.
