In reply to heidi123:
> (In reply to mypyrex) cancer is horrible, horrible. and as you say, both for the patient and family/friends. a girl I worked with recently died of cancer. she was 28. he poor father said that its wrong for children to die before their parents, which I thought very true. is your Sil at home or in hospital?
In contrast a friend of mine died recently at tbe age of 32 by falling down the stairs. Her family and friends have had no time to come to terms with her death, but then they at least didnt see her suffer in pain. Its bloody hard however it comes, and having seen both, im not sure which is easier for family etc. (although in my mind a quick mostly painless death is preferable for the victim).
I hope you are coping ok mypyrex
