Why am I remembering this...? A mummified body was once found in a mountain-area cave and presumed to be a monk who had withdrawn from his community in a time of famine in order not to draw on its limited resources. He apparently sat and meditated with a sash fixed around his throat and chest that eventually tightened and took his life as his controlled breathing diminished. (I think I remembered that right.) … Thank you for being so direct in your response. The kidney patient in my neighborhood is actually my husband. I'm bracing to consider what our emergency responses might entail, spiritually, psychologically, and medically.
