Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Dear Sangha: I am leaving shortly to go to Wisconsin. As you all know, I was there for Thanksgiving and then Christmas. My father continues to be critically ill in the ICU ward of the hospital and his liver and kidneys are failing. Overall, his condition is not good. But my father continues to hold on. It has been a difficult time for him, and the family as well. My mother said that he has become very peaceful over the last two days. I am looking forward to seeing my father and spending about a week with him. My father is not able to speak and so I mostly sit with him, talk with him, and pray. It is a great and wonderful gift for me now to be able to spend time with him and serve him. At times like this when there is complete helplessness, one understands the meaning of "Lord not my will, but thine." I am taking a copy of Bhagavad Gita with me and will be reading passages from it to my father and repeating the Gayatri mantra and other prayers. My focus will be on telling my father that he has led a good life, raised a good family, and that we love him. And that he should be fully satisfied and know that he is always embraced in the warmth of love. And that All is Well. Love to all Harsha ===== /join Hotjobs: Enter the "Signing Bonus" Sweepstakes http://hotjobs.sweepstakes./signingbonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Godspeed, Harsha. As my mom lay dying, seemingly unconscious, I read poetry to her that she liked. A day or two after her death, she let me know in detail, through a dream, that she had heard the lines and that she was happy. These days are, indeed, an enormous gift. Much love, Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
