Stress?


For a lot of people, these times, the end of the year,
Are very stressfull days.
Not so much, for me, because i refuse to get sucked into that end of the year, madnesss.

In the family there is a lot of stress.
First, the husband of my sister is terminal ill.
The cancer is in his breast, back, hips.. 🥺😱

And, her oldest daugther and partner decided to get a divorce...
So.....
Nasty times....
Stressfull times...
For me, in second degree....

I mean, i did not have a strong bond with her husband, i feel very sorry, for them both...
And, well, her has two small , under 10 years....
Sighs....
Horrible....

It is a matter of time when her husband.. gets worst and worst, he is already in the hospital......
There is talk about giving him, still radiation "treatment", why???
The cancer is everywhere, in his body...

He is on morfine, and something even stronger, then that?
Crazy times, in the family.

I cant do anything, about this situation, only be there, for my sister,
And i will.

This may or may not help but I'll pass it on.

Stress is an issue, but apparently more so for others in your family. As for you, yours presence may be a healing in its own right. Just knowing someone cares can and often is comforting in extreme times. It can cause one to forget for however short a period of time the issues to be faced in favor of the love from someone near and dear and therefore be thankful for their presence. No need for answers, no expectations of resolution. Just a reaffirmation of tender love and respect lessening the stress level for all concern.

When a person's immune system breaks down because of -experimental VAX and booster shots-...Cancer grows all over the body along with every other kind of disease... SAD😥

Doing chemo, sounds like, THE RIGHT THING TO DO, but is it? Chemo extends and adds to the misery of the sick person that it is being administered to. It is very expensive and useless for someone terminally ill.. It also DEPLETES, any monies for those still left in this life. IT IS NOT CHEAP! Nor is the hospital bill Euthanasia is allowed in the Netherlands if asked for by the patient. That won't end your sisters suffering, but it will her husbands...
This is why it is so important to have discussed and agreed with, ones family, what ones wishes are- BEFORE becoming sick. To place the burden of what to do on ones loves ones, can ruin them for life... DID I DO THE RIGHT THING...
It is a very stressful time for your sisters family, I hope for them nothing but the best outcome.

likeithot,
I KNOW! I was witness of the treatment the chinese woman got...
It was horrible, and she was only in the beginning phase of cancer, Andvery healthy and strong.
And survived, sort of ...
He is terminal, you dont go bothering someone who is terminal, with cancer.
That is just inhumane, in my eyes.
It is all for the money!! 🤢🥴😤🤬

BUT it is not up to me, to decide about that.
I do what i can, support my sister as best as i can... 🙏
I only give advice, my view... thats it..

Being supportive of your sister is the best gift ever. It's taking things one day at a time that makes a difference.

boh,
You can say that, again!
The second person, who took all the needle, gets cancer ... multitude of cancers, overal in the body...
He gets radiation, now, to help(?) Shrink the cancer on his spine... gives a lot of pain...
I dont know, you know?
Why not pain meds and a hospice, he wont get any better, he is dying. ..

drmgirl,
I do all that i can.
They, being of an other generation, still think, The Doctor knows best...
Wich is, in most cases, NOT the case!!
You dont qeustion any authority! Ever..

Me? I am 100 % the opposite, want a equal conversation, and not a high and mighty, talking down on me.... " because THEY? Know best.....attitude... 🤷🙏😝

So, i respect their docile, talk what the doctor says...
And ask qeustions later..
Sigh.. this is hard... 😣😝

That cancer is something that ruins all - the person who is sick and those around who cares and loves them.
Support to your sister is crucial, and you already know and feel what is the right thing to do when there is not much you can do - I think it is being there for someone who is in need that counts... not that we always have to do anything in particular, it is that they know they are not alone...
I am also sorry about the divorce you mentioned... none of us want that to happen... yet sometimes is for the best of all family members... fingers crossed for all of them... and you don't forget to take care of yourself too, dear Rosa

ExName,
Thank you! For these kind words.
It are hard times.

And, hospitals, nowadays are more moneymaking factories,
Then that they think from the viewpoint, of what is best for the patient.
Your human rights are gone, out of the door, as soon as you are A PATIENT...
they dont consult -with- you, but over you...
Cant stand that!!
I try to support my sister as best as i can.
