Dozenelk

Hi, Dozenelk. Welcome to WhatNext, though of course no one really wants to need WN's excellent support. I'm sorry about your cousin. Greg, a mod here, reiterated your question. As I wrote in reply to his question, I suggest you get your cousin some very good comedies, if she's up to watching them. Dying is not fun and isn't funny, but laughing feels great. I wish her a comfortable and comforting passing.

Welcome to the WhatNext family! The WhatNext family is made up of people like you who are looking for help or looking to help others. To help you along your journey the WhatNext family has put together a Beginner's Guide to Cancer that I highly recommend you check-out here: http://bit.ly/10BQKCi. Also, please do not hesitate to reach out to others or ask for help.

Wishing you the best.

Also, I encourage you to go to the questions page now by clicking on the questions tab at the top of the page and post what is the most pressing issue you have right now.

There are also subtypes listed on this page to narrow down the type of cancer to match your dx. Also, if you can take a few minutes and fill in some details of your journey so far, it will help others as they try to answer questions for you, it also helps others as they search through the data base to find someone like themselves. Confirming your email will allow you to receive updates and notices from the site when someone answers your questions or writes on your wall. Thanks for being with us and let me know if I can help you find any information on the site.

Dozenelk, as an oncology/End of Life nurse, I have had that conversation more times than I can remember. Life is not over until the last breath and there is a reason for these journeys...your cousin needs to experience all of life down to that last minute. We all have choices and a good woman always knows the right time to leave. Encourage her to live every moment as she has always done. Time is man-made, in reality it does not exist. But moments...they are the stepping stones of life. There is an old Hospice saying..."The beauty of the flight is to glorify the site." There is a reason why every moment needs to be lived and spent living the life you have...it will all make sense to her on that last mile, trust me. She will do what every great warrior does in their own good time. Smile and celebrate life with her. Encourage her to see that her life still has much value for her, and for those at her side. Best of luck, Carm.
