basricWELCOMING DEATH
Greta lay in the hospital fighting the urge to push the pain button. She’d have long ago given into the inevitable, but her family pleaded for her to fight. Doctors told them nothing but palliative treatments were possible. But family reminded her new cures were found daily.
She was suffering from Stage-IV liver cancer. Even if they found a cure; it would be too late. She understood this. She had surgery, suffered chemo and radiation for them.
Now her breath rattled and slowed. The wails of her family faded and peace embraced her. She opened her arms and welcomed death.
