Brutally honest question: Stage four cancer is terminal right?

Most stage 4 cancer is deadly and can’t be cured. Some girl posted on her that her mother has stage four cancer and she believes her mom can fight this. I’m glad she had that positive mindset BUT she won’t accept that her mother is dying and can’t accept that it isn’t curable. I’m no sorry for what happened but I feel bad for her but she should have her mother suffering. She can’t get upset at this stuff because shit happens for a reason and she had to accept death is part of life. How can I get her to accept that stage four is terminal? She never mentioned about that. I’ve never heard of someone surviving stage four cancer. Sorry to sound harsh but it’s incurable.

I just found out last month that one of my dearests friends was diagnosed stage 4.
It has been very hard having conversations over the phone while trying to find money to get airline tickets to fly and see her before she leaves us.

It is a very, very, painful heartbreak that keeps on happening every time we talk. 💔 😢

I just pray that I am granted one last opportunity to see her smile greet me and feel her in my arms wrap around me so that we may both know love and peace when that hour comes. 😪

@PetiteJulie01
Thank you for your compassion for my despair.

That is what helps me get through the saddest moments which are also my most selfish and lonely feeling moments.
And if it helps me , then when it comes to another that is going through the same heartbreak, it is how I help another heart.

It is what this crazy, confusing, world needs more of right now.
Understanding and compassion.
Listening with the heart and expressing with imagination. Keeping in mind that we are ALL in this together no matter how far apart we might be on some map.

We live similar experiences and share one world.
