“Jason” has been hospitalized for several days due to metastatic cancer. Due to circumstances beyond his control, Jason has been a loner for the majority of his life. He has had challenging moments that most of us will never experience. His best asset is how to survive. I hope now he will be able to accept the gift of receiving.
SURVIVOR
He has had a challenging life.
He has fought hard to survive.
His parents left him when he was only eight.
He has been alone all this time.
He is now in his mid-sixties
and still struggling to survive.
He has been hospitalized for several days
as his cancer has now spread to other organs.
He strongly wants to go home alone,
but needs too much help and assistance.
Receiving from others is so new to him
as he only knows how to be alone and survive.
I spoke with him about our hospice shelter
where he will get continuous care.
He struggles with communicating with others;
“There is a reason why I live alone”.
He has survived being homeless.
He has recovered from a bullet wound.
Receiving is a new and infrequent gift for him.
I so hope he can embrace others caring for him.
Another new way
to survive.
