Dear Friends
I am again sitting next to Ellen's bedside. She has reached the point when her body is shutting down, her breathing labored and she has lapsed into a coma. Her heart rate is very high and has been since yesterday afternoon. I stayed by her side last night, listening, holding her hand, talking to her. I believe the end is very near, possibly this day. It's painful to watch her labor, painful to only watch and wait. We have all, her friends and family, encouraged her to let go, to be free of the body which holds her soul hostage.
She is so beautiful, even now.
love,
cathy

Dear Cathy,
I can only imagine in a small way how hard this has been for you. You have given your heart to make sure that Ellen is comfortable for the past 18 months and returning to New Orleans for her to pass is just one example. If we're judged by how we treat each other, then let me say how proud I am to have a friend with so much love. I know
Donna will give you love and I hope that I can also.
love, david
Dear Cathy,
I pulled a Rune for Ellen again today. The Rune was Thurisaz reversed. It's symbol is a Gateway. It invites us to visualize a gateway on a hilltop. It says "Your entire life lies out behind you and below. Before you step through the gateway, pause and review the past: The learning and the joys, the victories and the sorrows. Observe it all, bless it all, release it all. For it is in letting go of the past that you reclaim your power. Step through the gateway now..." In the reversed position it states that "A quickening of your development is indicated..." It ends with "Be still, collect yourself, and wait on the Will of Heaven." I don't know if this make sense but it helps me to get through the day. I picture Ellen reviewing all the joys, all the orchids, all the beautiful times you both had together... Then I see her with open arms waiting to be escorted to heaven. She is happy and healed... and she feels no pain... she has no regrets... I hold you both in my heart. Love, Debbie
Aunt Cathy,
Sending you love and hugs, wishing you peace in knowing that Ellen isn't in pain. You are truly inspiring in your love and devotion to the one you cherish so dear.
Love
