How do you cope knowing someone you love is dying?

cancer sucks
Allelse · 36-40, M
Bloody hell. I'm so sorry! I'd give you a great big hug if I could. I've been there. How to cope. Love them and be there with them. My initial reaction was to, and I know its going to sound cold, but it was to avoid them. I couldn't take it, the pain, their presence. And I regret it, not spending all the time I could with them because I was scared. And then when she passed instead of grieving I tried to go on with life as normal and I broke into a million pieces. so all I can advise is to love them, be there with them and prepare yourself to grieve.
@Allelse This.

Yes cancer sucks so I coped with it by dedicating a year to finding a cure for cancer and I found it so now the people I love don't have to die early from anything abnormal (stage 4 cancers, inoperable tumors, AIDS, STDs, depression, mental disorders ect)

@Swann they gave my sister dilaudid there are way better pain medications then marijuana.
@gregloa But I was not talking about pain management. What Is dilaudid? My mom was on a morphine drip and sleeping meds in the end.
There is no way. Just take it day by day and do what you can. It’s terrible and nothing will make it easier. Do one day at a time. Yes cancer is terrible. Try and do something nice for them on a better day. I spent a whole day by my mother’s side playing her favourite music for her. She smiled a little.

It's really tough I am so sorry you are going through that. I lost someone over a year ago to lung cancer. The best thing you can do is allow yourself to feel all the emotions that come. It's okay to be angry, sad, etc.
@SW-User I’m sorry, me too, lung cancer. 6 months.

2 minute video of Doctors research into cannabis oil (Rick Simpson oil) soon you will see that it cures most forms of cancers and tumors (I think in another decade)

I apologize for my rant on your post. I just cannot stand someone telling people they can cure cancer. Don’t they think StJude children research hospital would be curing babies and young children of cancer if it were that easy. One in five of those children die. Chemotherapy saves the rest.

@gregloa ok now i know your trolling.. any grade 11 biology class knows how cancer works.. 🙄

chemo kills babies.. and healthy adults alike

have some respect for the dying babies and stop pushing for even more standardized chemo murders..
@xSharp @gregloa Why the abrasiveness? Doesn’t everyone who have loved ones who have died from cancer want the same thing?
xSharp · 31-35, M
@Swann exactly my point, this guy thinks he special! lol 🤣

talking about decency and respect like i owe him any at all, maybe once he reads a book or two, for a man of at least 56, he knows very little about what will most likely be his end.

I know. My father died a month ago. I cried many nights and days straight
@SW-User I’m sorry.

@SW-User I’m sorry for your loss.

I watched my sister die a horrible death stage 4 when they found it. Nothing they could do for her give her pain medicine.
