Death I’m scared.

Hi

I’ve been following this group but haven’t posted much. I have terminal breast cancer with lung metastasis, amongst other things. My lungs are really affected at the moment, filling up with fluid. I can barely do anything cause I get breathless. My oxygen requirements have been increasing during the last week. I’m in hospital. I’m really scared of dying, the moment of being unable to breathe when the doctor can’t do anything about it.

Do you have some experiences or positive thoughts that may help? Normally I wouldn’t care about dying young, it’s just the suffering that terrifies me at the moment. I can’t even fall asleep.

Thank you

Can i ask what type of psilocybin and amount? We just lost my daughter and I had tried so hard to get her to try other methods. And my son grows mushrooms so I had access. I'm just curious

thank you SO much for sharing this wisdom. I took a photo of this comment and sent to several people in my life. My dad passed 4 years ago and my mom just got diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer so I have been thinking about death a lot lately. This makes it seem not so scary and just like returning home. 

Thank you deeply.

You are welcome, deeply. And I hope when it’s time to journey that You show up to greet you - we all need to be in direct and constant contact with our sovereign Self. The one who is so magnificent it requires capitalization. The only way thru is straight down the middle, come what may.
