SACRED WORDS

“Kristin”, sixty-four, was diagnosed with lung disease many years ago. She was able to function and continue her life as she wished. It all changed six months ago when she shared that her decline started to begin. She gets short of breath so easily now; even when talking. She needs oxygen at all times in order to help her catch her breath.

Kristin has a strong family and friend support system. Her people are rallying and helping her so much physically and emotionally. What amazed me about Kristin was her use of words. She had the skill of articulating so perfectly her emotions regarding her illness and the impact on her emotionally and physically.

She had a strong spiritually belief system and was able to verbalize so naturally her emotions and expectations about afterlife. I felt honored to have met her as she, to me, felt like a supreme being. Her words; her spirit gifted her as a heavenly teacher here on Earth.


SACRED WORDS

She's been ill for many years,
but easily was able to carry on.
These past six months, though,
have been difficult; have been hard;
as her decline is now coming on strong.

She's always been there for others.
She's the one they counted on for support.
Now the shoe is on the other foot.
She's trying to figure it all out.

She spoke openly and honestly to us
about her emotions; her devout beliefs.
How spirituality has always been there
to help her cope through life's tough times.

"Anxiety comes when I struggle to breath,
as I am strongly feeling the losses.
My heart has opened to the process.
I trust my beliefs; I am ready to go."

She spoke about a close friend's death
when her heart overflowed with joy.
"It was so full; almost painful
where beautifully hidden below it all
          was pure love."

She expressed normal fears; normal sorrows.
She was so receptive in recognizing new emotions.
But the most amazing gift of all
was how she beautifully knew how to articulate it all.
with her pure and amazingly divine
          Sacred Words.
