I cant compare to what Beth Bernett had to go through with her husband. My grandmother also pushed us away and had to much dignity to admit anything. She wasn't able to lay down at a certain period of time and her feet as well would get swollen. The doctors in the hospital she was in were all helping and caring not only for my grandmother but for us as well.

When i heard Erics story it made me want to in-brace life and everything that i have, and not take for granited the people around me. It also opened my mind more in the fact that if i am sick that i cant just not admit it to myself i have to take the next step and see a doctor and what i can do to get better.
Some questions i have for Beth is what was going in her mind as she was taking care of him, and how did she feel the moment she say him dead? I would also like to know what does she do around the anniversary of their marriage, Erics birthday, and the anniversary of his death?
I think you did very good with your list of Ms Woods important insights, but just try to proofread your blog before you post it. "In-brace" should be embrace, on your list "Ounce" should be once, etc, and "granited" should be granted.
ReplyDeletePersonally I like how you in the middle of your post stated all of the main parts of Beth's story. As well something that you could of expanded on in your post was your third insight that" It also opened my mind more in the fact that if i am sick that i cant just not admit it to myself i have to take the next step and see a doctor and what i can do to get better." I think you could of expanded this one and go a little deeper and maybe put your self in a practical situation and discuss it a little more. But otherwise for the most part I feel that you gave a good output of your own feelings and insights on the topic.
