"There’s so much so in sorrow"... "Let me down from here"... "I’ve lost my modality."
Things said in the last 3 weeks of life by "a clinical psychologist who had also spent a lifetime writing poetry." Mort Felix was dying of cancer and on morphine.To the surprise of his family members, the lifelong atheist also began hallucinating angels and complaining about the crowded room—even though no one was there.His very last words were, "Thank you, and I love you, and enough." We know all this because his daughter, Lisa Smartt, a linguist, copied down his words and wrote a book.
I'm reading "What People Actually Say Before They Die/Insights into the little-studied realm of last words" by Michael Erard (The Atlantic).
From a doctor I heard that people often say, “Oh fuck, oh fuck.” Often it’s the names of wives, husbands, children. “A nurse from the hospice told me that the last words of dying men often resembled each other,” wrote Hajo Schumacher in a September essay in Der Spiegel. “Almost everyone is calling for ‘Mommy’ or ‘Mama’ with the last breath.”...Well, that sort effort to get home and being on a journey without a map is the storyline of nearly every dream I can remember, so I don't think that's special to the dying process. And when you're on a powerful opiate, you're drifting into dreams all the time.
In Final Gifts, the hospice nurses Callanan and Kelley note that “the dying often use the metaphor of travel to alert those around them that it is time for them to die.” They quote a 17-year-old, dying of cancer, distraught because she can’t find the map. “If I could find the map, I could go home! Where’s the map? I want to go home!” Smartt noted such journey metaphors as well, though she writes that dying people seem to get more metaphorical in general....
Despite the faults of Smartt’s book (it doesn’t control for things such as medication, for one thing, and it’s colored by an interest in the afterlife)....
Thus articles "There’s so much so in sorrow"... "Let me down from here"... "I’ve lost my modality."
that is all articles "There’s so much so in sorrow"... "Let me down from here"... "I’ve lost my modality." This time, hopefully can provide benefits to all of you. Okay, see you in another article posting.
