The Wrath
I had this
sinking feeling over two years ago. I knew if he took care of her too much,
that I would lose him. Not to another woman.
No. But to a disease. I understood the wrath of the caregiver related to the
terminally ill, the dying. The Wrath. The Wrath is the repercussions placed on
the related caregiver of someone dying.
I’ve known enough
about it. That I’ve warned many people
in those predicaments. Even the ones I loved. Most don’t listen to me. The closer they are to me, the less they
listen. It is sadly, to their demise.
They refuse to see what I say is true. They think they’ve sinned and
that is why they are now dying. But that’s
not the truth. Everybody sins. Some more than others. It’s not that. If it were
that, then the most heinous of criminals and the most dastardly greedy men and
women would now be dead. Real soon. We’d live in a utopia. But that’s not how the physiology
of the human spirit and body work together.
When someone
is connected, whether it be as parents, siblings, children or as a spouse.
There is a physiological connection. As well, a spiritual connection. Most
people don’t recognize this. Because most
people are not grounded. Most people WILL resist proper somatic and psychotherapies. For it is still seen as a sign of weakness
about their structure, their outward being, their health, possibly their
belonging or likeability. It is not.
The
cross-sections of society and culture as to their reactions to the mind-body is
still at a discord. Not much has changed. Most of us have forgotten that we
actually die. That this living here is so temporary. The here now is a
placement. For whatever reason we exist in this physiological position. Which
is at times uncomfortable. Some notice the discomforts of being human. For me
being human is a dichotomy. I know it’s temporary. I think I’ve known that nearly
all my life.
I told our
children, that if I became a burden suddenly to them. That they could put me in
a place that made it better for their existence and I would not be angry with
them. And if I was, it was because I was
being selfish and or I was out of my mind. Yet, if they let me pass naturally.
In the end there would be no animosity towards them. And spiritually, they need
to be at peace with the rest of their lives. As to not be hindered by ‘The
Wrath’, nor to suffer greatly.---Jody-Lynn Reicher
