Dear Friends<br />
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your comments and your experiences. It's wonderful to read your stories of not-knowing, recovery and resilience - and more are welcome.<br />
<br />
For those of you who might be wondering... very sadly, my nephew didn't regain consciousness and he died on Monday 26 May.

<br />
I will continue to draw on and build my resources, and I would like to share what I learn that may help other people. However, at present I feel unable to do so here for two main reasons:<br />
<br />
1. It is now a murder case and a man is being prosecuted. For several reasons, it is not appropriate for me to write any more about it, or my experience, while the police investigation and legal process is underway.<br />
<br />
2. I don't know if the SOLWorld site is the best place for it. I expect I will continue writing privately about my experience, and will probably post any relevant learnings and thoughts when the time is appropriate. This may be in another location, if not SF-related enough. I will post a link if that happens.<br />
<br />
Thanks again for your energy and input here.<br />
With love<br />

Dear Sue, dear Regina!<br />
<br />
Thanks for sharing your personal stories. I am grateful and I am learning from this.<br />
<br />
My learning is about "Not-knowing" and "letting go" - and it feels like a conscious learning while reading about your experiences. It reminds me and I like being reminded. Cause then I feel resources and security: Deep down in me is that experience already - out of my own experience of a serious illness, when I was 24. And I have reflected it, but sometimes I forget about it.<br />

<br />
... staying positive and present, holding the space, sending love and healing energies, trusting the abilities ... that was even there while facing my own illness- not being prepared for that at all ... but, simply, it was all there what I needed. And even sending energy to those of my family and friends who were scared ...<br />
<br />
Not knowing, but going step by step - there was not the question, why has this happened to me - it was not looking back. It was like going further and further through fog: slowly, intensive, present, happy about the small things, humorous about the funny things and feeling most of the time as a whole and healed person.<br />
<br />
Is that like a feeling of trance? I don´t know, but there was lightness in the hard times, happiness while beeing sick. And not knowing why and where to.<br />
<br />
What a help can it be, being not knowing - to ourselves, to others!<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for opening this discussion!<br />

Sue your posting reminded me this morning a story that I lived end of last year. I feel like sharing it - not knowing exactly why.<br />
<br />
A friend of mine around 30 years old had a brain stroke. She was in a coma for two months. Being very sad at the first moment since I felt she is going to die. Then at a second moment I remembered some Budhist thoughts about life & death. This made me change my attitude and send my best wishes/thoughts to my friend day by day - whatever her choice would be, living or dying. Additionaly I asked for spiritual assistance of professionals and friends.<br />
<br />
Stepping out of my own ego - what I felt was right for her - helped me for the first time coping with death to step out of my own pain and support the suffering person.<br />
<br />
To finish the story, it is my personal miracle story of 2007: despite all spiritual predictions she woke up and enjoys life again. After having being ready inside myself to let her go you might have an idea of how happy I felt - and how excited I was when I saw her again!!!<br />
<br />

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Sue for sharing, making yourself vulnerable and taking such a risk. I feel this is what makes you so strong - shows your authenticity! Keep going - life will bring you everything that you need.<br />
<br />
Just learned so much from your writing being in the process of having two delicate written emotional conversations ahaead .<br />
<br />

<br />
PS Feel SF is more than a business/professional tool, it is what you say - it is a life attitude and/or life style.
