Conflicted.... Card #35

[SomeCallMeMom]

I took a vow that said "till death do us part", but I always tell him it can either come from a "hunting accident" or natural causes, his choice. I'd probably end up taking care of him because I wouldn't do well out on my own. I wasn't given one of those "brain to mouth filters"....

What is life if you can't spend it with the ones you love?

you can always find new loved ones. IJS.

Not all of us. Once you've found 'the one' no one else will do.

If she were sick (and we're talking the wife here as in last loved one), I would make it as comfortable for her as possible. As soon as she passed, I'd be right behind her anyway.

My wife, my kids - I'll take care of no matter the risk. Others in my family, even the ones I really care about, prob not - if I died because I cared for my 80 year old dad, that leaves everyone else to get along w/o me. (they may be ok with that, lol)
Tough decision.

Amen.

What if your the sick loved one? would you want your loved one to stay with you knowing you were going to kill them?

 

[Lurker66]

I dunno, my wife has proven she'll stick by me and As much as I've been through I think I'd pull through one more time.

I've seen war, been beat to a pulp, had hepatitis, survived meningitis, was poisoned by Elderberrys, suffered a heart attack, cancer scare, lost a nut, endured a double hernia, and wrecked my motorcycle going 50mph......i ain't afraid of no sissy mamby Pamby disease germ.

I'd do my best to isolate myself, then finish it.

If I were the sick one, I don't think I could MAKE her leave my side. We would have already had this conversation while we were both healthy. Of course we can't have it now because we don't know what the disease is. Symptoms, length of time between presenting and death, protracted anguish and pain factor etc. . . etc. . . too many questions for a simple answer, but then most of these conflicted cards are like that.

If if was my child, I would take care of them to the end.
If it was my wife, I would do the best I could, with what I had.

Anyone else, I would sit down and have a con-flab with them.
