Due to the fact that a patient cannot get ANY Medicaid funding while being treated in an IMD, even for so-called Medical illnesses (brain disorders are somehow not medical illnesses???), a patient must be transfered to a facility that is not categorized as an IMD for treatment for their diabetes, COPD, or heart disease.

Hello again. I have been cleaning out packets of mail, tied with string, in my basement "files" and tried to locate your name and Galena address on White Pages in order to verify the last address that I had from you and Phyllis. I didn't find it and resolved to not give up. I have been rewarded, even though I fear it has all been for naught. The above comments all date from 2009. I'm afraid that I am too late. Your Christmas newsletter of 2001 was much appreciated, as are your reflections on FACING DEATH with fear or acquiescence on this page. Thank you. Bernie… Hello again.

I am a procrastinator. I am so busy enjoying all of the now that I put off thoughts of death. When I do think of death I think of the wonderful bliss in meditation as continuing into eternity. That is the only experience here that seems worthy of such continutation. All of the human made myths about death, heaven, and hell and the glorious afterlife as Dick Alexander in heaven have no basis in anything I have observed. It is, while pious and well meant, still bull shit. Warm regards Dick By email to Bernie_

I have dozens of books, articles, essays, etc on death/dying with even some unfinished writing of my own. To be finished when I get wiser and smarter. And your fathers experience reminded me of the article I got published recently in the local paper reflecting on my brother's death and the primitive practices we still use with the terminally ill, or imminently dead. Lots of people responded to the article noting similar experiences with their loves ones. Some wanted to "do" something. My energy for marching, protesting, confronting, etc. is less and less available these days. The basic stance one takes towards a Supreme Being tends, I believe, to influence one's view point of the whole dying, death, afterlife scenario. Happy New Year, Mel From Email to Bernie -

I hope, along the way, you will share more of it with us. Thank you for this one. Loved this line - "She’s much too young and lovely To come with me. Let me go Elsewhere…she isn’t ready yet." I feel the same way! Dear Louise -

You have an incredible talent for writing poetry. I hope, along the way, you will share more of it with us.

Thank you for this one.

Loved this line -

“She’s much too young and lovely
To come with me. Let me go
Elsewhere…she isn’t ready yet.”

I feel the same way!

I also liked your perception of yourself in the poem. You are a bit like Woody Allen in confronting death. "She is much too young and lovely to come with me. Let me go elsewhere..she isn't ready yet." Woody Allen, if I remember correctly talked about his idea of eternal life as, "living on in my apartment in New York." He is not ready either. Continue your poetry. You say ever so much in a few words.Others will appreciate it too. Poetry in its own way is a verbal portrait of life. Louise Bove,
