How Important Is Physical Touch Like Hugs?
My mother, when she was dying of cancer, asked my to sit on the bed next to her and hug her. Asked me to just sit there and be with her, instead of running around trying to take care of everything. Cooking, washing dishes, laundry, cleaning the house and bathrooms, and shopping.
The best hug I ever received was in a dream where my spirit left my body in a white shaft of light and shot up to Heaven and seeing and feeling a bright light like a figure of Jesus He then hugged me and I felt the most beautiful feeling of warmth love acceptance and belonging that I have never felt before! I knew he was real and I never wanted to leave that embrace ever because I knew this was my true home and it was where I belonged! But sadly my spirit shot back down to earth into my body and I awoke asking Jesus why did He send me back cause I did not want to leave and it was as if Jesus said your work is not yet done.
That was the best hug ever!!!

@A MyMyelomaTeam Member,
Hi Charlie! I hope you are doing okay. I’m sorry to hear about your father in law. Most people don’t know what a blessed time it is to be at a loved one’s deathbed. I’m glad you know how important it is. I wish I had grandkids to hug and hold💕. I asked this question, because I did not grow up in a family that hugged. My husband is not a hugger, but my youngest loves to get hugs from me. She’s 30 now and comes by once a week for a hug. I think when we are diagnosed with something as scary as MM, we need hugs more often.♥️
I’m sending you and everyone who commented, hugs.🌼🌺🌸🌷🌈🪻🌹

Karen,
I know the feeling you have every time I receive a phone call or card from those who care. Thoughts and prayers mean a lot to me and let me know that living each day to its fullest is worthwhile. God bless you.
I think they are extremely important, they're good not just for the physical, platonic aspect but also the mental and spiritual side as well! But I'm just a big hugger, so I'm kinda partial!🤗for everyone!
