End of life care is difficult and we all lack knowledge of this important event.  We are disconnected from our culture and community or village.  I have sat with many people in their last moments and each one was unique and fullfilling with warmth and meaningful lasting experience. 

 

Before, I have to admit, I never trusted medical profession with the end of life--but we have come a long way since the debates on 'right to die' which in my experience was ruthles.  But, I also know that when it is time to let go--I personally want to not hang on, but to let life slip away. 

 

Today, Advance Directives are compassionate, clear contract choices, and helps with the intended loss.  All family members are and should be involved in the process. No one person have power over the person that is ending his life on earth, but all persons are involve--including medical personal.

 

With medicare cuts, lack of medical training and deeply cut stresses for the loss of a love one the Advance Directors has clear goals to 'end of life.' 

 

Here is an example:

 

Hawaii Advance Health-Care Directive

Explanation

This form may be modified to suit your needs. You may also use a completely different form that contains the substance of the following form.

You have the right to give instructions about your own health care. You also have the right to name someone else to make health-care decisions for you. This form lets you do either or both of these things. It also lets you express your wishes regarding the designation of your health-care provider. If you use this form, you may complete or modify all or any part of it. You are free to use a different form.

Part 1 of this form is a power of attorney for health care. Part 1 lets you name another individual as agent to make health-care decisions for you if you become incapable of making your own decisions or if you want someone else to make those decisions for you now even though you are still capable. You may name an alternate agent to act for you if your first choice is not willing, able, or reasonably available to make decisions for you. Unless related to you, your agent may not be an owner, operator, or employee of a health-care institution where you are receiving care.

Unless the form you sign limits the authority of your agent, your agent may make all health-care decisions for you. This form has a place for you to limit the authority of your agent. You need not limit the authority of your agent if you wish to rely on your agent for all health-care decisions that may have to be made. If you choose not to limit the authority of your agent, your agent will have the right to:

(1) Consent or refuse consent to any care, treatment, service, or procedure to maintain, diagnose, or otherwise affect a physical or mental condition;

(2) Select or discharge health-care providers and institutions;

(3) Approve or disapprove diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, programs of medication, and orders not to resuscitate; and

(4) Direct the provision, withholding, or withdrawal of artificial nutrition and hydration and all other forms of health care.

Part 2 of this form lets you give specific instructions about any aspect of your health care. Choices are provided for you to express your wishes regarding the provision, withholding, or withdrawal of treatment to keep you alive, including the provision of artificial nutrition and hydration, as well as the provision of pain relief medication. Space is provided for you to add to the choices you have made or for you to write out any additional wishes.

Part 4 of this form lets you designate a physician to have primary responsibility for your health care.

After completing this form, sign and date the form at the end and have the form witnessed by one of the two alternative methods listed below. Give a copy of the signed and completed form to your physician, to any other health-care providers you may have, to any health-care institution at which you are receiving care, and to any health-care agents you have named. You should talk to the person you have named as agent to make sure that he or she understands your wishes and is willing to take the responsibility.

You have the right to revoke this advance health-care directive or replace this form at any time.

  • Important to note the Medication list is important to have and follow--this is given to care giver(s) to follow through it's ample care.  Family members can go and come as support helpers providing that they come with care giving skills with intent to follow instructions.  This can get confusing when one is too emotional and not thinking right!
  • This is the real world!  But thanks for the comments although it seems a bit too ignorant.  I have been working on this research for over 30 years academically.  I'm only sorry I did not get into the masters program for public health to further the connection of death and dying process for our people.  Big regret!

     

    I was not able to attend the $250,000 Blue Ribbon Panel  that Ben Cayetano had put together back then when he was governor. 

     

    And was surprised this year that Marsha Joiner asserted that Hawaii should pass the assistant suicide bill that was in the legislature and appears every year.  But na kanaka maoli are always willing to follow her lead on Jan 17, 2011 down Kalakaua Ave.

     

    Dr. Aoki was an awesome person at UH Manoa in the Religion Depart. I had too much to do as a student and regret not becoming a student of his.  I myself have sat next to people until they pass, part of being a matriarch with responsibilities.  I am not a 'self-self' person with small thinking, but could use some R&R about now!

     

    I also did filming for Death and Dying that was on Olelo for over two years.  So I am not just talking...anykine!

     

    I am surprise though, how far we have come since the days of 100 plus persons living in Hawaii with Aids.  I wish I knew then what I do know now.  As for the Advance Directives...it worked more than once in our immediate family, trust me I would not give my support to any of this had I not experience it's--humanity.

     

    Advance Directives gives the person that is passing a say in his care giving.  He is directing his comfort and we're just assisting and meeting his needs with human compassion.  I am not a nurse, nor a doctor and these services are needed for people that are passing away.  We not stupid, we not dumb and cannot figure out what to do when love ones are passing.

     

    Point is, we have come a long way and we don't need that stupid 'right to life' by mercy killing, in Hawaii!  Trust me that happens more often than you and I can comprehend.  It doesn't have to happen...we can be there with human compassion and be smart about the end of life.  I highly recommend Advance Directives--it includes all persons family, spouse, medical professions with human compassion for the person in need of medical attention for his life end!  And he/she gives directions even when he is slipping away into permanate sleep!  I promise, I would not have recommeded this had I not experience first academic questioning and documentation, challenging the Blue Ribbon Panel, and opposing my dear friends on death and dying.  In addition, experiencing the end of life more than a dozen times with friends and family members with in the past ten years. 

     

    thank you for your thoughts and opinions-I took it as a person that cares!

    • I've had Death and Dying Class and then some............choke credits which was more than enough needed to get a Bachelors...........

       

      The issues remain the economic ones..........which I tried to point out...............it is p u r e l y economics....with some PROPAGANDA/HITLER METHODS, etc. Promoted..........

       

      The person dying feels guilty, and tends to appease those around them because they feel like such a burden.... and many of their loved ones at the time are not  supportive and feeling for the person............

       

      Religion comes into play..........

       

      I have relative who  practices newly learned Hawaiian ways, and based on teachings  from those outside of our families, she acts as if that was our ancient ways........yeah right...... then I have a minister relative who  laughs a lot when I tell him about the pagan practices of that other relative...........

       

      Our ancestor John Young had his coffin with him while traveling..........talk about reality/getting real....realizing death is near and taking care of business instead of leaving it up to others........but to some degree, isn't that questionable or is it proper to say that those dying aren't clear in their thinking....

       

      Missionary/Mercenaries promote Euthanasia/suicide.....and downplay it........ the monies involved, costs, economics always factor in........When monies come into play, therefore, the person dying is viewed as an object, a mere non- person, ignored, someone looked at as a cost/ a burden rather than the love, the life, the realities be it happy or sad..........btw do people cry for the person or for themselves because no one leaves this earth alive.........hmmm...........

       

      The End Time  and the Alternative to Living Will/Euthanasia

       

      although people talk about Judgement day............when everyone will rise from the dead  (how horrendous a picture that makes) versus the real stuff that everyone has their own judgement day on the time that they die..........

       

      (and that's probably something that goes way over many people's thinking.....)

       

      Move to extend life is possible through artificial means............. the love, the extension of life is the focus and the costs are disregarded.............and the reality is that possibilities exist, and people can and do live longer......and what's important is that we are not playing God.....

       

      Living Will or Promotion of Death/Suicide/Euthanasia

       

      A living Will is a consent to suicide.  It is Euthanasia,  a process encouraged by missionaries/mercenaries, etc. including HITLER..........do notice that everything introduced into society these days reflects or follows after HITLER.................and how better to promote that kind of thinking by constant PROPAGANDA fed to students, who can easily PARROT, PROMOTE what they have erroneously learned in their education process...........:

       

      Euthanasia may be classified according to whether a person gives informed consent into three types: voluntary, non-voluntary and involuntary.[19][20]

      There is a debate within the medical and bioethics literature about whether or not the non-voluntary (and by extension, involuntary) killing of patients can be regarded as euthanasia, irrespective of intent or the patient's circumstances. In the definitions offered by Beauchamp & Davidson and, later, by Wreen, consent on the part of the patient was not considered to be one of their criteria, although it may have been required to justify euthanasia.[7][21] However, others see consent as essential.

      Voluntary euthanasia

      Euthanasia conducted with the consent of the patient is termed voluntary euthanasia. Active voluntary euthanasia is legal in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Passive voluntary euthanasia is legal throughout the U.S. per Cruzan v. Director, Missouri Department of Health. When the patient brings about his or her own death with the assistance of a physician, the term assisted suicide is often used instead. Assisted suicide is legal in Switzerland and the U.S. states of Oregon, Washington and Montana.

      Non-voluntary euthanasia

      Euthanasia conducted where the consent of the patient is unavailable is termed non-voluntary euthanasia. Examples include child euthanasia, which is illegal worldwide but decriminalised under certain specific circumstances in the Netherlands under the Groningen Protocol.

      Involuntary euthanasia

      Euthanasia conducted against the will of the patient is termed involuntary euthanasia.

      Procedural decision

      Voluntary, non-voluntary and involuntary euthanasia can all be further divided into passive or active variants.[22] A number of authors consider these terms to be misleading and unhelpful.[1]

      Passive euthanasia

      Passive euthanasia entails the withholding of common treatments, such as antibiotics, necessary for the continuance of life.[1]

      Active euthanasia

      Active euthanasia entails the use of lethal substances or forces to kill and is the most controversial means.

      History

      According to the historian N. D. A. Kemp, the origin of the contemporary debate on euthanasia started in 1870 in England with the publication by a schoolteacher named Samuel D. Williams of an essay in a one-off publication entitled Essays of the Birmingham Speculative Club, the collected works of a number of members of an amateur philosophical society. Williams' original proposal was that as follows:[23]

      That in all cases of hopeless and painful illness, it should be the recognized duty of the medical attendant, whenever so desired by the patient, to administer choloroform or such other anaesthetic as may by-and-bye supersede chloroform – so as to destroy consciousness at once, and put the sufferer to a quick and painless death; all needful precautions being adopted to prevent any possible abuse of such duty; and means being taken to establish, beyond the possibility of doubt or question, that the remedy was applied at the express wish of the patient.

      Kemp notes that at the time, medical doctors did not participate in the discussion; it was "essentially a philosophical enterprise... tied inextricably to a number of objections to the Christian doctrine of the sanctity of human life".[23] Annie Besant, the essayist and reformer who later became involved with the National Secular Society, was a supporter of euthanasia, considering it a duty to society to "die voluntarily and painlessly" when one reaches the point of becoming a 'burden'.[23][24]

      Nazi Euthanasia Programme "Action T4"

      150px-EnthanasiePropaganda.jpg
      magnify-clip.png
      The poster reads: "60,000 Reichsmarks is what this patient with a hereditary disease costs the community during his lifetime. Comrade, that is your money too."

      During the Second World War, Nazi Germany initiated a "Euthanasia Programme", usually referred to since as "Action T4",[25] that officially ran from September 1939[26][27] to August 1941, but continued unofficially[28] until the demise of the Nazi regime in 1945,[29] during which physicians killed thousands of patients "judged incurably sick"[30] in accordance with Hitler's secret memo of 1 September 1939.

      Official Nazi files reveal that, during the official stage of Action T4, 70,273 people were killed.[31] However, the Nuremberg Trials found that German and Austrian physicians continued the extermination of patients after October 1941 and that about 275,000 people in all were killed under Action T4.[32] More recent research based on files recovered after 1990 gives a figure of at least 200,000 physically or mentally handicapped people who were killed by medication, starvation, or in the gas chambers between 1939 and 1945.[33]

      The "euthanasia decree", signed by Hitler on 1 September 1939 states:

      Reich Leader Bouhler and Dr. Brandt are charged with the responsibility for expanding the authority of physicians, to be designated by name, to the end that patients considered incurable according to the best available human judgment [menschlichem Ermessen] of their state of health, can be granted a mercy death [Gnadentod].[34]

      Andrej Michalsen and Konrad Reinhart emphasise the differences between the Nazi programme and current euthanasia legislation. For example:

      Judging strictly from its wording, the intention of [the decree bringing about T4] appears very similar to the present understanding of "euthanasia." However, under the Nazi regime true medical examinations of the patients subjected to the program did not take place, the patients were not necessarily incurably sick, and there was no "mercy." [...] The term "euthanasia," as it is used in the present Dutch and Belgian legal provisions, refers to the facilitation of a gentle death by a physician at a patient's request and consent. [...] Under the Nazi regime, however, the term "euthanasia" was abused as a camouflage word for manslaughter and murder of innocent subgroups of the population on the grounds of disabilities, religious beliefs, and discordant individual values, with no consent whatsoever.[35]

      Euthanasia debate

      Historically, the euthanasia debate has tended to focus on a number of key concerns. According to Ezekiel Emmanuel, proponents of euthanasia have presented four main arguments: a) that people have a right to self-determination, and thus should be allowed to choose their own fate; b) assisting a subject to die might be a better choice than requiring that they continue to suffer; c) the distinction between passive euthanasia, which is often permitted, and active euthanasia, which is not, is not substantive (or that the underlying principle–the doctrine of double effect–is unreasonable or unsound); and d) permitting euthanasia will not necessarily lead to unacceptable consequences.

      Similarly, Emmanuel argues that there are four major arguments presented by opponents of euthanasia: a) not all deaths are painful; b) alternatives, such as cessation of active treatment, combined with the use of effective pain relief, are available; c) the distinction between active and passive euthanasia is morally significant; and d) legalising euthanasia will place society on a slippery slope,[36] which will lead to unacceptable consequences.[37]

      Legal status

      West's Encyclopedia of American Law states that "a 'mercy killing' or euthanasia is generally considered to be a criminal homicide"[38] and is normally used as a synonym of homicide committed at a request made by the patient.[39]

      The judicial sense of the term "homicide" includes any intervention undertaken with the express intention of ending a life, even to relieve intractable suffering.[39][40][41] Not all homicide is unlawful.[42] Two designations of homicide that carry no criminal punishment are justifiable and excusable homicide.[42] In most countries this is not the status of euthanasia. The term "euthanasia" is usually confined to the active variety; the University of Washington website states that "euthanasia generally means that the physician would act directly, for instance by giving a lethal injection, to end the patient's life".[43] Physician-assisted suicide is thus not classified as euthanasia by the US State of Oregon, where it is legal under the Oregon Death with Dignity Act, and despite its name, it is not legally classified as suicide either.[44] Unlike physician-assisted suicide, withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatments with patient consent (voluntary) is almost unanimously considered, at least in the United States, to be legal.[45] The use of pain medication in order to relieve suffering, even if it hastens death, has been held as legal in several court decisions.[43]

      Some governments around the world have legalized voluntary euthanasia but generally it remains as a criminal homicide. In the Netherlands and Belgium, where euthanasia has been legalized, it still remains homicide although it is not prosecuted and not punishable if the perpetrator (the doctor) meets certain legal exceptions.[46][47][48][49]

      Physician sentiment

      A survey in the United States of more than 10,000 physicians came to the result that approximately 16% of physicians would ever consider halting life-sustaining therapy because the family demands it, even if believed that it was premature. Approximately 55% would not, and for the remaining 29%, it would depend on circumstances.[50]

      This study also stated that approx. 46% of physicians agree that physician-assisted suicide should be allowed in some cases; 41% do not, and the remaining 14% think it depends.[50]

      In the United Kingdom, the pro-assisted dying group Dignity in Dying cite conflicting research on attitudes by doctors to assisted dying: with a 2009 Palliative Medicine-published survey showing 64% support (to 34% oppose) for assisted dying in cases where a patient has an incurable and painful disease, while 49% of doctors in a study published in BMC Medical Ethics oppose changing the law on assisted dying to 39% in favour.[51]

      or Is Predictive Planning behind Euthanasia?

       

      Scientific Indoctrination - Predictive Programming of People
      By Alan Watt For Sovereign Independent 2nd Edition

      The majority of the world’s public have been trained into believing that their governments are responsible for shaping their future well-being on their behalf and for their welfare. These governments appear to have no particular long-term mandates beyond basic projects regarding jobs, economy, health-care, et cetera. This same public is in complete ignorance to the fact that powerful, incredibly rich, private, tax-free foundations, funding thousands of non-governmental organizations, have worked together to bring in a new global planned society by using national governments. Such foundations, which are not responsible to the public for their actions and agendas, have for a hundred years through a standardized world-wide education program, been training generations from kindergarten on through, into a world-view by which the subjects of such indoctrinations are unconsciously programmed for major shifts in lifestyles and beliefs which are planned for them to experience as they grow and age. This technique is called predictive programming. These foundations, via their almost infinite full-time activist NGO’s, push and pressure planned change (called trends) by lobbying governments, and churning out thousands of reports and documentaries to shape perceptions of the general public. The collective goal is toward a new humanistic, neo-Marxist, planned world society. (See “Foundations: Their Power and Influence” by Rene A. Wormser, and Norman Dodd’s Report to the Reece Committee on Foundations, 1954) The men who own and control these foundations believe that in order for their own survival, from a Darwinian perspective, the populations in a post-industrial era must be radically reduced in order for the fittest to survive, as they believe it should be. The Club of Rome, for instance, being a premiere think-tank comprised of academicians, admits in their own writings that they were given the task of finding a plausible reason for the world’s peoples to give up all rights, freedoms, security, decision-making, et cetera, so that the emerging world super-state can more efficiently run the world. (“The First Global Revolution” by the Club of Rome) Their ‘noble lie’ was to terrify the public with scenes of famine, starvation, global warming and other natural disasters which they claimed would be caused by man. 

      Through treaties via the United Nations, not only all nations, but all individuals would gradually concede all rights to a global body of experts.
      Agenda 21, as is typical of United Nations’ treaties is simply the ongoing upgrade or implementation of this agenda from a previous global treaty. (The United Nation’s treaty called General Assembly resolution 44/228 of 22 December 1989.) 
      http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/agenda21/res_a..._01.shtml) 
      This in turn, came from the Rio Earth Summit (United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), Rio de Janeiro, 3-14 June 1992
      http://www.unesco.org/education/tlsf/TLS...02t05.htm)

      U.N.’s Agenda 21 link http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/agenda21/index.shtml

      Such treaties originating under the auspices of the United Nations are completely interwoven with dozens of other U.N. treaties, some of which specialize in particular areas of the planned changes within societies. Agenda 21, for instance, completely encompasses population, sustainability, economy and ecology and makes unlimited use of its army of professors and institutions to present to governments by their full-time lobbyists. Indeed, since World War II especially, governments and their policies appear to be run directly by these foundations, private think-tanks and NGO pressure groups. 

      The term ‘century of change’ has been used within academia from the last century, pertaining to the emergence of this new expert-run, planned and regulated society. Agenda 21 is this agenda for the 21st century, much of which is already implemented by signatories to this and other U.N. treaties. It ranges from population reduction, animal-only corridors (no human building or access rights,) to the redistribution of wealth and the eventual (inferred elimination of rights to travel by private automobile ownership.) Experts will decide what you will believe, how you will live, where you will live and eventually if you will even be allowed to breed. Because of the highly controversially nature of planned changes, the U.N. advises (from their own site) members and workers of the plan to mislead public understanding of this agenda by the use of a variety of terms. See below: (The United Nations’ Millenium Paper, issue 2, page 3)

      “Participating in a UN-advocated planning process would very likely bring out many of the conspiracy-fixated groups and individuals in our society such as the National Rifle Association, citizen militias and some members of Congress. This segment of our society who fear ‘one-world government’ and a UN invasion of the United States through which our individual freedom would be stripped away would actively work to defeat any elected official who joined ‘the conspiracy’ by undertaking LA21. So, we call our process something else, such as comprehensive planning, growth management, or smart growth.”

      Branches of Agenda 21 participants under a variety of sustainability terms and groups have already been advising nations, states, right down to local governments for quite some years. Since a main objective is to create sustainable communities, the term ‘communitarianism’ is frequently used along with many environmental groups, the latter constantly via preferred access to all media outlets, constantly chanting of eminent environmental disasters should their policies not be followed. Through the standardization of education and educational policy via UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) generations are programmed into believing in the necessity of this agenda, with all the conviction of an extremely fundamental religion, consisting of an amalgamation of Marxist Socialism, Secular Humanism and Environmentalism. It is the only politically correct, authorized religion advocated by the world’s policy makers. One of the earlier planners of the coming new society, Lord Bertrand Russell coined the term “scientific indoctrination” to describe the method.

      All media and entertainment is lobbied to ensure they promote all aspects of Agenda 21 through inclusion in talk shows, children’s cartoons, novels, documentary presentations and movies. Unquestioning repetition, a kind of “psychic driving,” using slogans related to sustainability, international community, climate disasters, coming scarcities, et cetera, are mentioned hundreds of times per day in classrooms, print media, television and radio. With scientific indoctrination, perception becomes reality and explains the vast use of marketing specialities such as perception management. Countless well-known, popular personality figures such as Mikhail Gorbachev have full-time salaries from foundations and by government grants enabling them to constantly “do the rounds” of television interviews, university lectures, addressing NGO meetings, et cetera. Indeed, to paraphrase Mr. Gorbachev in one of his books, “We are in the process of creating a new religion for the world and it is and must be a form of earth worship.” Of course, in this new religion, ecologists and approved specialists are the new priesthood. Lord Bertrand Russell also referred to this academic priesthood, claiming that tyrannical rule was the only way to shift self-determination from the hands of individuals to the scientific elite. He claimed if there is to be a tyranny, then he preferred it be a scientific tyranny. Macabre beauty of such overwhelming micro-management of selective, one-sided data administered by scientific indoctrination technique ensures the vast amount of subjects who have grown up in it are guaranteed to be unquestioning believers, completely unable to use critical thinking with regards to the repetitive data. Even if they could, there would be instant Self-Policing and guilt associated with even approaching the thought of possible doubt, making them immediately retire into the approved comfort-zone of their collective peer-group. 

      The technique of scientific indoctrination is based on complete understanding of the same psychologically-proven methods of the great persisting religions. One might say that sociology and behaviourism works perfectly with theoretical Marxism in establishing this new order. Marxists know, rather than attempting to alter the behaviour, beliefs and perceptions of adults within masses, by propaganda and mass persuasion, it is easier to “grow” a fresh crop from birth. The adults will be made to conform by law and the threat of force for non-compliance. This is the reason UNESCO funds and operates numerous world youth programs, many run through national schooling, ensuring standardized indoctrination. It is also the reason for Mr. Gore and others to give copious talks aimed at/ to very young children, telling them their parents don’t know or understand the imperative need for change as they (the children) do themselves. In Marxist terminology, the parents, with old-fashioned, outdated beliefs in self-determination and natural freedoms, are a danger to the world and all to come. They are, therefore, “Contaminated.”

      David Rockefeller, head of many international, socialist organizations, when asked concerning peoples’ resistance to this new social order said, “They (the people) will come to us (the rulers-experts) with perfect docility.” He could say this with confidence due to his complete awareness of the techniques of indoctrination already successfully accomplished and that with every passing year, the propaganda was working the paradigm shift from what had been a lowly Fabian’s Society dream of power over all, to its open manifestation in the 21st century.

        good words in this song...........aloha.
       
       


  • I had an opportunity to see a real Advance Directive today and it is a good thing to get done before one comes close to his/her end of life. 

     

    It's the right thing to do.  To leave this to family members would be stressful and so much emotional problems can occur.  And basically, the problems that surround's death and dying are lasting events and often has nothing to do with the dying process.  One needs medical attention and comfort care and both are not readily available  and I believe we lost our protocol for the native dying processes.  Take care

    • Everyone,

       

      Kaohi these days has been moving into extremes...........and apparently somethings going on.........

       

      the fact that depleted uranium is so near to her home........a stone's throw actually...........has resulted in an array of emotions from hopelessness, negativity, and now to this.......which is contrary to religion in itself.

       

      talking about a protocol for the "native dying processes"............and what pray tell is that?  the ancient times including taking healthy, thriving, living individuals to their premature deaths, etc......that doesn't sound pono.

       

      the fear of the mounting hospital costs, etc. is what's the whole thing behind of this.......the finances, which means a love, a family member is looked at as a burden and will cost money........................yes, it all boils down to money..............

       

      do not fret, worry so much Kaohi...............no one leaves this world alive................

       

      enjoy your loved ones now instead of looking at them, your self as a piece of nothing amounting to money value, especially after being declared an "indigenous" one..............

       

      thrive, you're alive, your misery is wanting company....and I (and others) don't necessarily care for this sort of post.........life is too short, am just pointing out the negativity that you've been sharing recently..............perhaps your fretting could inspire or excite ole Neil and wife.............they just may be on the same page as you........

       

      I rather see the ole Kaohi, getting excited about Hawaiian drumming, etc................time to do some positive stuff girl...........go do things that turn you on.............because life is for the living...............

      and the dying.............it's a fact of life, love, and appreciate them up to their last breath............peace, love, and happiness too to you and yours.
