Preparation For Death
I've been struggling to write this. When the emotions and feelings are too much, it can be difficult to share. But, my discomfort is nothing compared to that of my dear friend who has 2 weeks to live.
Know that I love and care for you and although I'm still hoping for a miracle, I know that whatever happens, you will always be remembered fondly. Big hugs and love.
Preparation for Death
By Michelle Morris

I couldn't sleep last night
Once I received your message
Two weeks left to live
Is a lot of emotion to process
Of course, this is nothing at all
Compared to what you're going through
I just wish I'd known sooner
So that I could've helped you on this journey
I completely understand
The need to keep low key
When there is suffering at hand
We often choose to retreat
I respect your need for solitude
To handle things your way
But know that you are loved
And cared for come what may
We are all here for you
Friends and family care
We hope that you'll be fine
When Heaven's time is near
Preparation for Death
Seems like such an enormous task
But ultimately, it's important
To be at peace when it's your last
Don't be afraid of Death
I assure you there's no need
He will be kind to you
Once it's your time to leave
The last breath that you take
Needs to be one of absolute peace
Don't worry about how we'll miss you
Don't worry about mortal things
'Cos when you analyse it deeply
And connect with your soul's light
Your angels will remind you
That you brought nothing into this life
You are an everlasting soul
And your light will shine on forever
And one day when it's our time
We'll see you again in Heaven
