And what’s going to happen when the old lady discovers the truth? Today, tomorrow, 3 months from now, whatever, it’s going to be terrible for her. Get it over with. I had a first cousin who refused to tell her parents she was terminal until months after diagnosis. It wasn’t like she was buying time by keeping quiet about her condition. Her parents were so upset that they hadn’t spent as much time with her as they would have had they known her life was almost over. They never forgave themselves. Do it now.

It’s the sick person who gets to decide the rules of the game. Period.

Laura, you absolutely must tell your mother. In my experience as a healer, pure, UNFILTERED energies directed at the tumor can help. I’d like to emphasize the words “pure” and “unfiltered.” That means you can’t dilute the news, and neither can anyone. so that a mother’s thoughts can erect their own barriers to negativity. It’s kind of like an immune response when the system is healthy! Truth and honesty are purifiers.

I want to know: what’s the rush? Tell an old mother only when she absolutely needs to know what’s going on — like when the end is very near. There’s no point in making her suffer more than she has to.
