…There is no growth without pain, I guess.
In the hospital I thought of other things too, of course. I realized that I am not afraid of dying, but what made me feel awful was what a mess it will be when I do, and what a lot of work involved for those who will have to take care of things here. I felt, “I simply cannot die and leave all this to be taken care of.”
