worry of running out of money
You want help for Medicaid qualification for reasons financial: you could lose much to the nursing home. You want help with the burdens: you could do this yourself, but help will make your gathering of documents more efficient and effective, help will organize your case so you don’t have to keep re-applying. You want help for the emotional: you are worn out caring, you are running out of money, there is a way, if done right and carefully, to move back to loving them, and being free of the worry of running out of money.

suns in their own systems
People walk around, suns in their own systems, with other stars swirling about, held together by some sort of gravity, kept apart by some levity. Some attract by beauty or flashing, some want to orbit about others. All contribute; whether knowingly seems not to matter. We all orbit one another, are stars in each others’ universes. A galaxy among galaxies we are. What looks bright might only be for a day.

Pieces?
What are the pieces of my life and how can I see them larger, rounded? For example: meeting, counseling, people interacting and self-organizing, computers and electrons serving, larger thinking, storying, conversing.

The chosen peril
Eldering is not all sweetness and light. It is not just a death either. It is choosing and leaving one behind or even beyond that, using the power of what could have been for the chosen peril.
