Forty-five year old “Maureen” was admitted to hospice today due to a major infection. She was diagnosed with such a crippling disease two years ago. She is a quadriplegic, bedridden and dependent upon all of her needs. Fortunately, Maureen has such a large, devoted and caring family. One feels the love once you first step into her home.
Maureen smiles so easily and is at peace about her life. She embraces her family and so appreciates the loving support she receives. Maureen has accepted her situation without fears. Her strong Christian faith helps her cope as she knows she is going to a better place.
Seeing someone in such a challenging circumstance, brings up so many questions for me as to why was she given so much to deal with. She is such a teacher to us all. Maybe she was chosen because she surely is the special one. But still.........
WHY HER?
Why her?
She got pounded so hard.
Way more than her fair share.
What's it all about?
Why do some have to struggle so?
Why is their life so hard?
She has so much love inside of her.
It just feels so unfair.
She is in her mid forties.
She is bedridden, unable to move.
Totally dependent upon her family.
There is nothing at all she can do.
She smiles so easily
embracing the love that's around.
She has no fears or concerns at all.
Her strong Christian faith helps her through.
It brings up so many questions.
Why was she struck this way?
Maybe it is because she is a special one
to teach us tolerance, endurance and love.
I just know it just doesn't feel fair
for her to battle so hard.
What's it all about?
Why her?
