A few weeks ago, I took a friend to the doctor. She's had an accident, sustained an injury, and needed follow up. I remember being alarmed. She didn't
seem herself. And at one point, the doctor held her xray up, and though I have no medical training, it looked queer...even to my eyes. Normally bone shows up a
dense white on xray film...but her bone looked like smoke---or gauze held to a bright light. It looked WRONG.
Now Lyn has been health conscious all her life. She only ate certain foods, avoided toxins carefully, and practiced "holistic living" to the nth degree. Being injured seemed to upset her...but it was more than that. She didn't seem like herself at all. She was jumpy...scattered. The three hours we were together disturbed me, but I guess I just wrote it off to the trauma of the accident.
I wish.
Her husband found us on Friday.
She has cancer...two kinds. Bone and Brain.
They've been in play a long time...and she doesn't have long.
I wish I knew what to say or do.
Lyn and Jeff are the only true soul mates I've ever met. They GET each other...and they accept each other more than any pair I have ever known. He called this morning and the sound of his voice said it all. Loss. Devastation. I'm not sure how long they are giving her...but my guess is not long. When someone passes. I always find myself wondering which way is worse...the quick pass, that no one saw coming, or the lingering one...and in my own life I can say both are awful in their way...we all will go to the stepping off place...it's just a matter of how...and when...
(I will be around...but if I can help them, I will try...so please be comfortable...I'll be here!)
