One of the women who came to Brookhurst was diagnosed as having cancer.

She had been given two years to live if she had an operation; six months if she didn’t. She was a person who loved natural things and she didn’t want to have the operation. She had five kids, ranging from one year old to seven or eight. She asked her husband to take her to Spain because she wanted to see a great friend whom she thought could advise her. The friend had heard of Subud and that we’d started a hospital.
She came back go England and to Brookhurst Grange. She was opened the second day after she arrived and we did three latihans a week with her. Her physical condition deteriorated very quickly and she died within six weeks, but in that time she was completely transformed inwardly and it was very beautiful to witness. She understood so much.

She asked me if I though she was selfish :Shouldn’t I be in Wales where my children can come and see me?"
I said: "I cant judge that. You have to decide for yourself."
She said: "I feel as if I’ve come home here."

Her husband was with her all the time. I heard her say to him once- "Darling, don’t wait too long before you remarry."
She had cancer of the womb. Her body swelled up and she was in great pain and then through the latihans she lost all feeling as if the pain wasn’t there. This was a mercy because we didn’t have to give her any drugs.
It was an extraordinary death. The doctor who signed the death certificate said so. I asked him what he meant and he said it was because she was so clear and conscious and in no pain without drugs. Usually people dying that way are clouded by morphine or some other drug but she had nothing.
Her husband told me he was going to have her cremated and a cry came out of me: "No, don’t have her cremated." I don’t know why I said it. I’d never had any opinion about it before. I begged him to ask Bapak as Bapak was in England. Bapak said it was best to bury her because it can take thirty days for the spirit to separate from the body. So she was buried.
