In reply to the discussion: I'm officially a widow as of this afternoon--update [View all]vlyons
(10,252 posts)15. I am so sorry that you have to endure such an unfortunate situation
and sorry for your sons too. I am just finishing up a workshop on death and dying from the Tibetan Buddhist perspective. One day, I shall die and the only thing that I shall take with me is my mind. Meaning that my habitual ways of thinking go with me. That's why it is ever so important to practice maintaining a peaceful and compassionate mind in this life right here. May your husband be reborn into a loving family and have the most auspicious rebirth possible.
