Illness, Death Sentence, Guilt

Guilt can be a paralyzing problem, its power completely preventing a person from doing not only what he likes, but even what is necessary. The mutual trust, respect, and love are all put to the test. When illness invades either our selves or loved ones, we too frequently start asking ourselves if it's our fault, if we did everything we could to keep them healthy and provide proper care, especially when it's our pet; our pet who indeed never worries about its own health, our companions who only know how to live for that moment.
So when we start to doubt and question ourselves, it can virtually immobilize the person. Our best intentions and efforts can become pure drudgery, requiring Herculean labors to again perform the simplest of them.
So it is with this blog as I try to 'come to grips' with the 'death sentence' of a loved one.
We all deal differently with the impending death of a loved yet we all are effected similarly; and everyone of us feels the pain the same way - only reacting differently.
I'll keep you all posted on the outcome.
