Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Dear friends, How does one cope when living with a loved one who is terminally ill? No matter how much is done; the suffering and agony the other person goes through cannot be shared by another. This utter helplessness in watching someone you love suffer and yet unable to do anything except for continued prayers.......at times prayers too dont seem to be enough. What else can one do; to help both the self and the other cope? Thank you Prema Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Hello, I'm going to forward your inquiry to a Vedantin who works in hospice in the San Francisco area. Have you read Who Dies? by Stephen Levine and a book called When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron? ew On 4/17/04, you wrote: >Dear friends, > > How does one cope when living with a loved one who is terminally >ill?
