Death and Dying
I stand at the door—afraid. Take a deep breath. Just another room. One I have been in a thousand times before. Inside a bed, a bathroom, an IV pole—a friend. And while I stand there, inside my head resides angst over the unrevealed information. Still frozen in the hallway, I cannot reach out and touch the door handle. It seems so foreboding and ominous, so far away. When I finally attempt the move, a choking feeling ascends in my throat, weakening me—even for a minute. I am paralyzed. You have to go in.
