does anyone know how it feels to grieve someone with a terminal illness? because i will say to start off that it isn’t easy, and i certainly sympathize with others who’ve witnessed this, like i have. for context, my stepmom passed of triple negative breast cancer after battling it from 2019-2021. it’s been almost two years, and i just can’t stop thinking about her. i’ve gotten better about not feeling so bad, but these feelings are coming back.


thanks for listening, and if anyone wants someone to talk to, just know that i completely understand the struggle of watching someone die over a period of time, and i feel for you. 🖤

@frankOcean6944 I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm dealing with this right now. My father and I had been estranged for many years. We had started to repair and rebuild a relationship and I found out last month that he has stage 4 cancer. I saw him about two weeks ago and the change is so drastic. He's lost so much weight and gets tired so easily. He's doing chemo and radiation but it's just to buy him time. Tbh - I haven't asked how much time it's buying because I'm afraid to know. It's all I think about lately

i’m really sorry to hear about your situation, too. that is definitely NOT easy, and i totally respect you for taking the time and effort to see him, despite the relationship. if you ever need to talk, my inbox is open. 🖤
