A house, two cars, a healthy relationship ,a career, livable wage, 2.5 kids, a dog. ya know, the expectation many children were told in school.

Everything I hear on social media says this is a myth.

This is not a question that anyone wants me to answer right now, when my wife (34) has just been transitioned to hospice with terminal cancer. We've been married for 3 years and she was diagnosed 4 months after we were married.

I wish the best for all of you.

That's tragic. I'm sorry. Life is so inequitable in how suffering is handed out. I hope you are able to find some way to lessen the pain.. Have you talked with anyone about it?

Thank you for your empathy and understanding.

It has been the hardest thing I've ever gone through. Thankfully, I've got a large support network of family and friends. Unfortunately, there's nothing anyone can say or do to take the pain away.
