RE: I am dying of cancer! - My wife

Time.
Our most valuable possession. The end.
I wish we would understand this before things have to get so bad.
I'm so sorry to hear of your wife. It's not an easy journey. And people mostly turn away because of their own fear of death. Thing is... it does make every moment count more. I suspect you two have made more good of the time you've had together over these last nine years than you might have if this wasn't happening.
I don't mean to minimize your experience at all! I also have a health thing though and it was when it became a reality for me that I began to live more of the life I wanted to instead of the life other people thought I should be living.
So for me it was a gift of sorts. One I'd rather give back tbh. But since I can't I try to enjoy each day as much as possible now. ANd to not sweat the small stuff anymore.
It's ALL the small stuff when this reality is in your face, huh? Really... why we waste time getting all hit up and holding on to stuff that we will probably never remember anyway is silly.
Get up.Move on. Be here now.
Sending strength to you.
p.s. It's very understandable for someone to have a low grade depression when they are dealing with a terminal illness. There are therapists who can assist her. Worth you two talking about and looking into, so that you can keep making the most of precious time.

Thanks for this awesome, wonderful reply 😀

Absolute pleasure, fellow traveler.
Wishing you only peace and immense strength on your journey.
One day at a time <3
Edite: Sorry, last thing. This came to me this morning when I was thinking about you and your wife. I met someone on my own journey who runs what she calls "The Death Cafe".
It's a support group for people dealing with terminal illnesses precisely because of how lonely it can be. Because death scares the hell outta people so nobody wants to talk about it. Weird when we are all going to be there one day and it's a part of life, really!
A support group could be brilliant for both you and your. wife. Together and separately as well because I have no doubt both of you try to protect each other and sometimes can't share as honestly as you might wish to.
Validation and emotional support is vital. And could really help with any emotional and mental issues that arise because of the isolation of this experience.
And also... you're always welcome to share with me. I'm not scared of death anymore. I've also had to sit with it long enough to have tea with it.
best wishes always and always remember you are not alone. Really. You are not alone.
Thanks so much. We are each others support. I do like letting the Hive community were I am at in life.
Like most people I don't want to die, a would like to live forever but I have come to terms with being mortal and I don't fear death.

That!
And to lose that fear is remarkable.
Yeah it would be great to live forever but we'd probably never make the most of our time here if we could. So quality over quantity :D
Take care of each other.
And have a beautiful day despite anything that comes your way 🎈
