Waiting

Another CT scan....another wait.  This was the first time everyone I saw on the way to the scan asked why I was there.  Weird.
Waiting, waiting, waiting......

Loss

My 1st cousin killed himself a little over a week ago.  No note, no hints, no nothing.  He's just gone.  What causes someone to do this?  I am actually more sad that he didn't have another alternative than I am that he is dead.  Not that I am not saddened by his death, because I am.  But everyone dies.  Sooner or later....everyone dies.  No one gets out of this life alive.
But how awful to have no other alternative than to take your own life.  Did he consider how it would make his mother feel?  His father, his brother, his sisters?  Did they cross his mind?
I read one time that if you truly believe that tomorrow will be different than today....different good or different bad...but different then taking your own life is really not an option.  I believe this.
So the grey cloud continues to follow me.  As in the last post I can't seem to get out from under it.  Then something like this happens.
I also lost a friend recently.  Lost as in we are no longer friends.  Saddens me also but this too shall pass.  Life is about losses and how they are handled.  I never handle loss well.
