Why must we suffer?
We suffer in life
We suffer when dying
When do we not suffer?

Why must the old suffer?
Why do they die so painfully
When they want to die peacefully?
They suffer through their death

Is there no end to the suffering?

Cold hands means a warm heart

Well, the truth is...sin. But if your Grandma went into a coma she is not suffering. I do indeed know how hard this is. My dad was in a coma seven days before he died. The truth is we weren't created to die. And we rarely die easy. I pray for peace and courage for you and your family.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Life's full of pain, but I hardly feel it when I talk to you Julie.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!

Well my ideas concurs with Larry's.
There is an end for some to suffering,
But it can only be taken by choice.
As long as we're in this life though,
we're on painful turf.

All we can do is make the best of it
and use it for the purpose it was given.
I pray for peace to you.

Always, Alyssa

We live by comparison, if that makes sense.
Good write.
