You are not a horrid person, you are a compassionate person! A selfish person would want a suffering person to hang around "forever".

thanks, that was my thinking.

Same w/mine. 1st lung collapse when I was a kid young enough to have no understanding of what was going on. Decades later, an aneurysm. They said he never shld have made it to the hospital. Had surgery and full recovery. Some were lulled into believing he truly was invincible. So when the ca dx came- . And he refused to have surgery -. Then it got really bad, and suddenly they wanted to drag him from specialist to specialist until someone fixed the energizer bunny, still not comprehending that the time to do that was back when he refused surgery. The most frustrating part was all of these miracle seekers weren't here dealing with it, taking care of and trying to comfort him. When he finally died, I was a horrid person, bc I didn't wallow in self pity. I was glad - for him- that it was over. Don't misunderstand, I miss him terribly. But my grief is worth him being out of pain.
Happy Saturday, everyone!

There is a horrid amount of grief when your loved one is alive and suffering.

I'm really hoping this massive experiment with RNA technology will lead to a breakthrough on cancer research. Maybe this covid-19 first time real try with the technology on a massive scale will give them some data that will help. Sure would be a great thing if it happens.

I don’t think we should mess with Mother Nature. Exercise, eat right, get good sleep, live a low stress live, grow your own food, raise chickens. Learn to live with the earth instead always fighting it

Doesn't sound very organic does it? Kinda Star Trek'ish.
But what are we to do when they send us a man made genetically modified virus that has been modified to target humans? This has gone beyond GMO, has transcended way beyond GMO.
Have you heard of anyone asking for countries to ban such research? We helped fund it, the USA according to the National institute for health that recently came out and contradicted our NIAID directors testimony, said he was wrong, we did USA help fund gain of function research in the Wuhan lab that brought us covid-19.

It hasn't, I've had both variants... first time last November I was sick for 2 weeks but never hospitalized, second time this may was just like a cold lasted 3 days. I have worked through the entire ordeal and won't stop.

My DW's aunt who works in a nursing home tested positive for covid during the beginning so was first variant?. Then she was vaccinated and now few months back tested positive again, so maybe probably next variant delta?. Unless there was a false positive on one of those it looks like she's had it twice second time after vaccinated.

Edit just to add, she's mid late 60s , and was asymptomatic, as in NO symptoms both times never would had known positive if her work wasn't weekly testing.

I'm sorry, I just can't figure it out, are you an anti-vaccination person? (Sorry, that sounds quite blunt...)

I'm sorry for your loss. And I'm sorry you were left to do the heavy lifting emotionally alone. I did my counseling internship with a hospice and three years later I am still there. One of the hardest things to accept is the concept of autonomy. Letting the person with the illness decide what to do. After all the previous stuff my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer and he did not want to fight it. But I asked him to and I drove him every day to the VA for radiation. He finished and has been in remission since 2013. But he has been ready to lift off to heaven for a long time. He has COPD and frankly a poor quality of life. Sometimes loving someone means letting them go.

I don’t think it wise we should say this virus is man made. It still unknown where it originated via lab created or natural.

However it arrived, it's here, and we all have to deal with it.
