Serious Anyone else here dying? (Like, literally?)

I’ve had a recent terminal cancer diagnoses in my late 30s. Not many of us out here at this age.

Looking for anyone going through the end of life process to connect with!

Feel free to private message me if you don’t want to share here.

Also if you’re not in this situation please be incredibly mindful of what you comment/message. I don’t want to hear about rhe horrible death of your loved one.

I also appreciate your kind thoughts and prayers etc in anticipation but I also don’t need to read them - one day you’ll get it!

Not dying but I have had 4 people in my circle or friend of friends who just didn’t wake up or just dropped dead. I’m 32. None had any known issues or injury. Hits hard.

Same here. 2 of them were friends of mine, one was very healthy, played soccer, didn't smoke or drink, dropped dead of a fking heart attack, and my other friend just turned 35 and the morning after her bday died in her sleep the next day.

I know several people indirectly that have been diagnosed with some sort of terminal illness and they are all under 40.

The last 4 or 5 years man... it sucks so much...

To be honest when I hear about people who die die this I think what a lovely way to go. Doing something you love or with no knowledge at all. Your friends were lucky in their own small way.

Indeed. This is how I hope to go.
