Dying is a lonely journey. Not only for the sick person but also for the family. As hard as we may try to avoid death, the truth is that we do a lousy job of it. Science and medicine will certainly postpone it, even staying healthy might seem to delay it, but the harsh reality is that death does not wait for you, it does not ask you, and it does not listen to you. Death ignores your feelings and wants; you do not matter to death…Death is the only certainty in life! We need to remember that our existence here is fragile, and we never have as much time with people as we think we do. If there is someone or someones out there that you love, don’t neglect that and don’t put off engaging with them because waits for no-one… Vic's Journey ended on 18 January 2013 at 10:35.

Vic’s letter from Heaven
Vic’s letter from Heaven
Today it is 5 months since Vic died. I am trying to get Vic’s estate done (not doing well at all!!) and came across a file with a letter addressed to me.
It flashed through my mind…”A letter from heaven!”
It is not a recent letter. It is a letter that Vic wrote years ago. How do I know? It was with her old Last Will and Testament.
I am grateful for the letter. I am heartbroken that I am reading it.
I am a sixty plenty wife, mother, sister, grandmother and friend. I started blogging as a coping mechanism during my beautiful daughter's final journey. Vic was desperately ill for 10 years after a botched back operation.

i can not find the words…… if i were there i would just sit with you and in some ways that is what we do here isn’t it? i am sitting with you and hope you know how much i care.
I am so glad that you have these reminders from Vic that you did everything you could for her right to the end – it is clear that she appreciated it very much and loved you dearly.
I have thousands of little notes (as do the boys) from Vic – always saying the same thing. “Thank you” and “I love you”… This was a wonderful find. I know there are more – I just have to find them.
I must admit, it brought tears to my eyes, which is a nerve in an outsider…so I couldn’t read it properly, but I got the general idea. Vic was (and is) the best of daughters. If time is not sequential, but simultaneous, as some argue, then the day she was born, the day she wrote that and her knowing you have found it are all happening now, only on different dimensions…
Thank you for sharing this. I also received a card from my daughter after her passing – it was found and sent to me before Mother’s Day – and it was a mother’s day card. The person who sent it did not know what was in the envelope. I treasure that always! <3
