Life does not end with a stage IV diagnosis (really!)

jeanelle,

Whatever comfort and support we can find, whether it is religious or not is very important. I am glad you have found yours 😊

I know it may be tough, but try not to spend too much time worrying about the future, or whether the fate of others may be yours as well. The future will come whether we worry or not. Living is for today.

Good advice Caryn, as usual.....

KiwiCatMom

Well said as always Caryn. As my husband says, "worrying won't change the outcome".

I posted this in the dark clouds thread, but thought I'd post here too. All about perspective.

Thank you so much for all the kind , encouraging words. I don't worry about the future, and I don't worry about dying. I know that I won't die one day sooner than I'm supposed to. As I mentioned, I am 55. My Dad lived to be 83, his Mom lived to be 82, and several of his siblings lived into their 80's. My maternal grandmother is now 97. While I had hoped to see 80, 90, or even 100, now I am looking forward to seeing my 65th or possibly 70th birthday. And I love that Snoopy cartoon.

Hugs,

Jeanelle

Terre,

You must know that I love that cartoon

KiwiCatMom

Glad you liked it! And Jeanelle - so nice to see another cat mom here!

Jeanelle, Your stats on your relatives ages and your previous expectations vs now, mirrors my story exactly. Most of my relatives were pretty elderly and I had reason to hope I would achieve the same. Although I have now dialed down that expectation I will be grateful for every single day given to me but an extra 10 or 15 years would be fabulous!
