Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and kind words. Means the world. Love you all! 🙏❤️

I'm just seeing this. My sympathy and thanks for sharing your experience with our familia. We don't talk about death nearly enough.

I have friends in SF who sat at the bed of their Zen Buddhist teacher in his final monents. A student asked the final question.

"Roshi, what can you tell us about this moment of transition?"

He breathed his final breath, looked to them, smiled, and said...

"It's very safe."

And then the thought and feeling struck me, "What could be safer than death?" Why didn't I think of that? Maybe partly because people are- for the most part- terrified of the subject matter. Or maybe it's just avoidance Either way, thank you for sharing. Prayers sent Express.
