Thanks, Cyberpixie! Something I forgot to mention is that since my "ordeal", I've been a volunteer at some of the area hospices, especially with those who are terminal cases. Even just sitting with people and listening to them talk and tell their fears, and being able to share what I've been through...it gives them hope, or eases them a bit. I think that's part of what I meant by being a "death-master"...not that I bring death, but I can help people face it and deal with it a little better than before. I'd like to think so, at least.
