My friend Chris who has been dear to me for 20 yrs has pancreatic cancer.

long story short, he is in denial.

he has told friends that he has a pistol, and would rather take that way than tell his mom or daughter.

to be fair, they have gone through a lot.  Chris's dad just died this past spring from pancreatic cancer. and so did an  uncle and 2 aunts.......

i have watched my husband and a fiance both die horribly.

cancer

so i kind of understand what he is saving his poor mom and his lovely daughter from.

but it abhors me to think of letting him kill himself.

but he has also not told them of his cancer.

and i feel i cannot break a trust by telling them

all i can do is try to be around him as much as possible to keep him alive.......for what?

to eventually end up in hospital where he is helpless?

or do i let him go as he wants.....

i am still not over losing my husband "05 and my fiance "09.

 

please help me know what to do.......

thanks.

hugs to all

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
