On the 23rd of June of this year, a lifelong friend of mine was diagnosed with Cancer and told that he probably had less than a month to live. The doctor felt certain that it would not be months. He passed away last night just nine days short of six months since the day the cancer was diagnosed. It seems that medical science still can't predict such things. It is the soul's agenda and no one leaves until the last i has been dotted and the last t crossed. It is sad to lose him, but perhaps there are those who eagerly await his arrival on some other level of consciousness.. It now appears clear that there is more to life than the few short years that we spend here as a particular personality.

I am sorry to hear about your friend. I have lost a few friends and family members to cancer, it can be a slow process as you hope and pray they get better, but they don't...:(

Hi savypat, Thank you for commenting. I often feel that just as loved ones here are sad to see us leave, others who have gone before are eagerly awaiting our arrival. It is a comforting thought and certainly harms no one. I too pray that he had a good transition. Blessings.

It reminds of one of my colleagues who passed away years ago after his being diagnosed with liver cancer. He left this world three months after the diagnosis, leaving his wife a teen boy. It seems that when some cancers are diagnosed, it won't take long before the one suffering from the deadly disease leaves the current world. I do wish that medical science would be a lot of help in saving lives and curing people out of the diseases that people are suffering from. In short, it is a must for us to live a healthy way of life to enjoy more of the world. May this friend of yours be blessed!

Hi william, Thank you for those kind words and once again I'm late in getting back to you. I'm not sure what's happening but I get the discussions that most of my friends post but I'm never notified when someone responds to one of my discussions. This has been happening for several months now. Blessings.

My late father use to tell me when I was young "son you know you are aging and growing old if love ones and friends around you start dying" Well I never gave it a serious thought till I reached age 40, guess this life is just a stop over and soon everything would pass away perhaps to a better place, so sorry for you and my condolences to your friend's family.

Hi louievill, Thank you for responding and I have no doubt but that you are right about this being only a stopover. It seems likely that life did not begin with this body, nor does it end with it. Often small children seem to have memories that we cannot explain. Blessings.

Pose-
I'm sorry for your lost, but there is solace in this as he is now without pain. I know that the Rosicrucian's have a belief, and I sort of like it, that a soul has so many days it is to live on this earth in total. So some incarnations may be short simply because that is the end of that soul's journey.
I wish you all the best in these days.
Namaste-Anora

HI Pose123!.
I think lost someone you care about its not easy. I really sorry for your lost. I lost one of my uncle this year, its because heart attack. All our family really sad especially my grandmothers who already lost of his son. She said its really sad to see her sons die first thats hers. I think thats life we never knew what will happen and no one can predict when is the time come.

its sad, indeed. but you can't stop the course either, it had to happen. best way to deal with this is to see it as a good thing. living with the fear that maybe that's your last day, for a long period of time, is not living at all. maybe it was a blessing that it ended. i know you might not believe this, but its true.

I know how it feels to lose a friend to a terminal illness, It is a hard thing to go through and i understand what your going through. I can be a tough road to go down but I did to help is I though of all the good times i had with that person and i made to sure to never forget about them. I am terribly sorry for your loss and I hope that over time things will get better for you. Good luck. :)
