Hopefully I can help win this time.
Kenny, then Ben, and now Chris. All terminal cancers. What am I trying to do with Chris? Not re-live past losses. Am I trying to win this time to conquer past losses????
I hope that isn't it.
Cause Chris and I have had 20 yrs of friendship....we tried dating a long time ago, but realized we were better friends. Through all life has been handing us, we have remained close.
Now I am standing by his side. Pancreatic cancer. I have to question whether I am masochistic, or a great friend who is strong enough to handle this.
Will tell you one damn thing though------if I can help him beat this, he will.......

It sounds like you are being a great friend. Others might step in not knowing what is to come, and they would be good friends or family for doing that. But you have seen first hand not once, but twice how difficult end of life can be with cancer. I give you huge credit for being able to accept that. You already know how important it is to take care of you too. Be the friend you can be proud of but do not be afraid to back away if that is what you need to do to be ok. If he is as good a friend as you think he will understand you have been through so much already. Hugs Susan, take care.

Being the Other Woman/Other Man
This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More

LESBIAN ..GAY 2 SPIRITED loss and grief
Anyone who has lost their gay partner..soon finds that there may be a few things that are different...such as sorting through things and feeling like an intruder because it is also family stuff etcSee More
Assumptions
An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true. Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions. This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
