What would you do if a family member was given only 2 months to live? What would you say and do differently?

Treat everyday as if it was only 2 months. Think about it . . .

 

i wil call u later andy.

 

Ive been in those shoes.... Unfortunately, they did not hang in there 2 months. Life goes on. There is nothing that you can say or do differently if you are on good terms with that person. Its more of what they would do differently...

People dig holes and burn bridges all the time. Someday you will come to a point when you will need someone to throw you a rope or give you their hand to help you out of a situation. Many of us are taught to forgive and to love thy brother.

 

I'd take them to Jamaica, listen to Bob, and smoke lots of...

 

Well bud,

Dont let the unsaid stay that way.
Dont change the way you act toward them
help them achieve things they want to do
stay strong in any faith you and or they have
I am sure you have already.. tell them you love them...you cant say it too much!

But know one thing is for sure... they will be going to a place much better than this one.
When the day comes may they go in peace, Andy I dont know you you are refering too but I am sorry you and your family are going though this.. I hope it brings you closer and of all the people i know here at g35 I know this wont go by you..... Cherish every day you have even the bad ones... it may be one of your last.
Blessings my friend

 

Not given two months...but my sister was recently diagnosed with cancer. She already finished her surgeries and is going through chemo.

Personally...I'm trying to just live every day with her in a way that I won't ever be dissapointed with. Not only is she my sister, but she is my best friend...we are extremely extremely close. We lost our mom to cancer 13 years ago when we were both young, part of what made us so close.

I am determined to just live in a way that if I ever look back on this time and she is no longer around, that I don't regret it. I'm not a very emotional person(that is an extreme understatement). But I'm tellling her I love her whenever I feel like it, hugging her if it feels right, and just trying to cherish every second that I see her.

Best thoughts and wishes to you and your family dealing with this.

 

wow, not really sure what to say. I will keep your family in prayers. I am not sure how I would react. I am a very emotional person, I am giving to my family all the time so I wouldnt know what to feel or how to feel. To loose that person in a given time would eat me alive...., I hope you stay strong during these times and show that person in life, they mean so much to you.

 

Very sorry to hear this Andy. Experienced a few myself over the years with family members and close friends.

Life is a celebration. The end of life can be a celebration as well with fond memories for all. It's all in how you and/or affected family member look at life in general.

Contact me anytime if you feel the need for moral support my friend.
