We're all terminal, it's just a matter of time, and it may not have anything to do with an illness at all. Can't predict the future other than you know you're going to die and some sooner than others.
If you love someone, what difference should it make if they were ill? I have to admit I wouldn't go out seking someone in such a situation, but on never knows what life will throw their way.

Thank you for your honesty.....

If someone wanted me in their life,the illness wouldn't stop me.I would hope to make the person laugh and have some good memories.Sometimes terminal means a few years or more.I would not fall in love and marry.I would make that clear from the start.I wouldn't pity them,most people hate that.Want to be treated like eveyone else.If this freind wanted me to I would be there when it was time to pass,hold hands,pray together,whatever.

I havent read all posts?
But last being Polansks...we are all dying...
I am at times helping a person who has cancer it is hard work?
I do not have any intamacy with her she is 74 yrs.And very demanding of my time.But it is unconditinal love but takes time energy from me .I really dont mind as I will be repaid.Thats my take on life death.

Thank you Kidatheart n Nomindgames for your input.........

Something to think about...........

been there done that. and in all honesty, despite the pain, i'd do it again rather than miss a minute with my beloved.

i guess the perspective i gained was that we are all terminally alive, and if we find love that lasts, one will be left behind. honestly it takes tremendous courage to keep an open heart. i think we should all congratulate ourselves here at CS for doing just that.


of course my philosophy is not for everyone

da bliss

I would say No, because they could still be there for that person as a friend, but it all depends on their situation.

sure love is a beautiful thing....its like themovie a walk to remember....

No, I don't believe I would...at least I wouldn't begin a new relationship with someone I knew was to die soon.

I watched my late husband die of cancer and I couldn't bear to go through it again.

That's a question I don't think you can answer till you're in the situation. Love can't be predetermined like that.

If you said mentally ill, I might have a shot.

Works for me, that's a great way to look at life.

I would, absolutely! I have lupus (which while not terminal can be quite serious at times) and I would hope and pray that that would not stop someone from falling in love and starting a relationship with me

Love doesn't consider everything, sometimes it just happens, because it feels right.

I can't say 'no'. I just can't.

When you are falling in love with somebody,it does not matter if that person is ill or not....that is what i think,it would not stop me anyway...
