Could you/would you......... ( Archived) (55)

Jun 1, 2008 6:38 AM CST Could you/would you.........
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.

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

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

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.

Aries01: I agree its very much a situational thing.. depends on the level of feelings etc.. I wouldn't say never.. but I wouldn't just for the sake of it (would be pity based..not right).. having said that.. friendship.. definitely (if there were a basis for same)


thumbs up thumbs up

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

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

DangerouslySweet: But Could you fall in love with someone knowing that they were terminally ill when you met them?



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...
