Ice Water

Life can be cruel to those attending to someone's transition. Well, that was RantWoman's experience at some point after her father passed away. RantWoman was still in the space of being brutally clobbered by grief at unpredictable times in the shower or when she heard certain music. Life was going merrily along. People were thoughtlessly persisting in having a very good time. Sometimes the good time even lapped at RantWoman's toes, and RantWoman was still cruelly getting clobbered.

More time passed and then still more time. Gradually RantWoman got to the point where the getting clobbered by grief happened a whole lot less, RantWoman even started to realize that, much as she loved her father, she couldn't possibly stand to feel that badly clobbered all the time, Tonight in that spirit, RantWoman is chugging ice water. This is in honor of having read on CaringBridge of Lynn taking a ceremonial last glass of water.

The journal says Lynn's body might hold out yet for weeks despite having consumed almost no calories and the agony of getting oxygenated. RantWoman is not sure how she feels about Lynn's decision to begin refusing water. Well, actually, RantWoman does not want to hold Lynn here a second longer than she is supposed to be here. Still it seems to RantWoman like refusing water could be a rough way to go. RantWoman's opinion is not by a long shot important RantWoman resolutely holds Lynn, Margaret and their families in the Light, and RantWoman herself is very grateful to be chugging ice water.
