pamagain comments on Jan 14, 2024:

Some scholars think quipus were also navigational aids. Ancient sailors crossed the Pacific with ''star maps'' made of knotted cord. We never give ancient people enough credit! If only more funding were available for archaeology.....the '''new world'' (very Eurocentric term) is ''hot'' right now, since lidar's uncovered so many ruins in the Maya regions.

"Abuse of a corpse?" That's infuriating! It does shine a light on the ridiculous ''well, it has a heartbeat...so it must be alive'' nonsense. How do we decide when it's time to declare someone brain dead? When they have a heartbeat? Noooo...when there are brain waves! Sheesh!

I'm very sorry for your mother--and everyone who loves her. The deliberate cessation of food/drink is recommended by the "Compassionate Care In Dying" group because they realize the medical community will reject anything else. Your experience demonstrates why it's not a good solution to the problem of wanting to end one's life. Wishing her a quick resolution.

First, as a widow, I know something of what you're experiencing. Secondly, I had lots of "I'll pray for you" offers...well-meaning but often ''knee jerk'' because they don't know what else to say. "Thanks for your good wishes, but we're not religious people" worked for me. Repeat as needed. Wishing you well...I know it's not easy.
