Death
#26
RE: Death
When my mother picked me up from the airport on Sunday she told me my uncle was dying from liver failure. There's a chance. but it doesn't look good. Of course my mind is constantly on my uncle, I want him desperately to live, he's like a second father to me. I wrote a friends locked entry on my LJ and got a lot of concerned comments. As I read my most recent one it occured to me that non of my friends made any religious sentiments. I know a lot of my friends are believers and it makes me feel very happy that they must be considering my well-known religious views.

As for how I'm reacting? I'm hopeful that the doctors can help him. All my conern goes to my uncle but in no way do I feel a need to prayer or ask a nonexistant god for help. It's in the hands of the doctors and my uncle's will to live. He's an alcoholic, so he did this to himself.

This is the first time I've had a close family member this close to death, whom I'm not even certain will survive. I just thought I'd share my reactions with this apect of death.
