someone said that the cat will tell you when it's time. we're tuning into her time. they also said a cat will go naturally, and that we may confuse our suffering with the cat's. i think it's a responsibility of love to help. people often linger beyond the time they can say they would prefer to let go. no one wants to hasten a loved one's death or to see them suffer. everyone alive wants to live, and everyone will die. we need help living and dying. we're in it together. love to all.
