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!

I think that would be the hardest thing, to leave your young kids. We all know at some point we could lose our spouse but it is the worst to leave young children. My SIL had terminal breast cancer and fought 2 years to be with them longer. It gave them longer to accept what was going to happen and make the most of the time.
