Here and Now...What's Happening?

[PurpleLama]

I have other things to add, thing learned, things experienced. It has been a wild ride, and I will speak to these things, but it isn't the right time, yet.

On the 15th of March, my wife had a subarachnoid hemorrhage. As of this confluence of time and space, she is home, she is fine, she is taking it easy but with no neurological side effects. Universe is as Universe does.

...I was faced last week with a very real event that had me stomp my foot and let universe know I would not accept the outcome, and where wisdom (and all else) failed me, the outcome was simply changed. I will speak to this in detail one of these days, but for now, suffice it to say that amazing things (miracles!) can and do happen when one engages universe as the flip side to one's own experiential self.

The gratitude I feel for the outcome of our current situation can not be overstated.

Love that you and Lotus Blossom are co-creators of your world. My best to your family and continued health.

Looking forward to it, PL.

I came under a concerted attack after this post. So, for now I will just say, y'all don't want to even see the time line where H got elected.

Edit to say, call it a major skirmish, not a concerted attack.

My latest to-do(s) was I quit coffee cold turkey three weeks ago tomorrow. I tossed out the coffee grinds that night so I wouldn't be tempted to go back on my decision in the morning.

And I'm now into my 6th day of a water fast. My goal is to go for 8 days, but after much research I may go longer.

Yes, Pauler, we are all rising to the occasion in our own way. Love ya, sis. Please, take care.

Tjeez, that must have been a shock to you all.

I feel a bit bad for making such a light hearted remark about demanding the story, but I estimate you're not offended.

Much love and recovery!

It is fine, light hearted and playful is welcome in a dim hospital room. The continuing recovery has been nothing short of a miracle, and it was a real wake up for myself, I have been too quiet but for good reason on the forum front. This will be changing, I expect, but with a certain level of preparation for protection. My approach is much less cavalier as it was at the beginning of this thread.

Flash wonders toward the more woo woo statements I made last night. I have, and countless other have, been working hard on the causal level to steer this ship of reality, therefore I believe that the apparent displeasure and disdain we witness through much of the MSM over the recent election cycle is sincere. My own reading of the events is that something truly awful was diverted, and the inhuman element is not taking it lying down. Last night was a wacky magical moment, where I had some insight into that which led to my comments. I don't care to say much more, publicly, at the moment.

I sincerely appreciate the good thoughts being sent our way.

A cremation service was held for my mother today, she passed last saturday early evening. I was told by my brother-in-law of something she said approximately 24hrs ealrier as she drifted in and out of conciousness, unfortunately I was not there to hear it myself but trust the gist of what she said has been reported relatively accurately.

"That gatekeeper was so lovely, and all the people there, they were really so lovely, I must go back soon."

Hopefully it wasn't just a dream about some fancy garden party and that she'd had a peek at her new domain before finally letting go.

Ewan, sorry for the loss of your Mom. It must be comforting to know that she understood on some level it was time. Which made her transition even more peaceful and welcoming.

Thats a beautiful quote there Ewan. Thanks for sharing that!

Sending some love your way brother.

..if only I was there, but we missed her by minutes after spending days and nights there, we took a break as they said she could go on and on, but the traffic stopped us to get back to her in time, Mum left alone, with lovely staff in the palliative care unit, but she may have chosen that...? An horrendous end to such a charitable life, dreadfully missed, Mother's day flowers just don't compensate. Guilt and total sadness....

Sorry for your loss Ewan, this is difficult for those remaining, my sympathy to you and yours.

I have been here on the forum for so long telling about not finding a job, nor boyfriend, having to work for my daughter and run from standard and alterantive treatments for her over and over, on a long 15 year stretch, etc.

Well, the news: I have had a job for the last almost 3 months in a College, selling training and other college courses to corporations. I have to implement this part of the continuous education department, choosing and planning the courses to be offered, finding the adequate trainers, developing relations with different government instances and selling the services (training and consulting). I truly love it (my academic background is in psychology but my business specialty combined corporate training (as a trainer), sales and service - the perfect combination for this job). Just coming back from a day work right now.

Also, my beautiful daughter (now 20) is now in the second term of her second year in college, studying social work technics. She only flunked one philosophy class because of the heavy reading involved (she was born with partial aphasia and some other neurological impairments). All other courses she is above average. I am sooooo proud of her, all the effort and work ethics she has learned at an early age are giving results. Plus, she became a real good singer composer. And she has literally tons of guys chasing her.... the lucky one!! She put down her choices for a nice Swiss guy, her age, studying biomedical Engineering (well, he will return in Switzerland at one point, we will see...)

And... all those years alone with my daughter doing everything for both of us and having zero time for myself are over. I have had a nice boyfriend for the last year and a few months. This is great too

I never thought I would finally have a nice, peaceful, joyful part of life that late in life!! This is great!.

Hopefully, this little life story will help relief some of the sadness for Ewan and Avid losses.

[PurpleLama]

Wow flash, that is really great to hear. I know we have all burned a few candles, so to speak, for the benefit of you finding a job. I hope that (it sounds like) this job is such a fit for you, that it was worth the wait!

To report on our own situation, so far so good. Lotusblossom is maintaining well, the problem is she feels too good so she starts to do things, like lifting something too heavy, without thinking. I may have mentioned, I have an aunt who is a semi-retired RN who has come to stay with us and help out and keep an eye on her. For all of the trauma of this month, many blessings seem to be resulting, as well.

Take care avid and Ewan, you are in our thoughts as well.

Sympathy on your loss avid; it's hard to say goodbye.

I haven't been following this thread, when I chanced upon it I wondered if the hospice staff had warned you
(and even if they did, it can be extra-hard to take in information at such times)
that it's not uncommon, perhaps even more common than not, for a person to take their last breath when loved ones are not present.

I think of it this way -- if you're about to leave on a train, you may feel reluctant to board while your well-wishers are still milling around on the platform, prolonging their good-byes and savoring their last moments with you and worrying whether you've got everything you need for the trip. It's only once you're alone that you can turn your full attention to your next destination.

Don't complicate your grief with guilt on a detail that was, as you yourself intuited, probably as it needed to be. You were there in those important previous days, during the departure. The embarkation was her business alone.

Best of luck with continuing your own journey on this earth.

So far, Lotusblossom continues to do well with no neurological side effects. She occasionally has trouble thinking of a word, but hey, that happens to me all the time. If such is the worst we have to contend with, then I am well and truly grateful.
