😥 My 42 year old cousin (he is 6 months older than I am) died this week of lung cancer. He was diagnosed a year ago and was undergoing radiation treatment. His poor father went to pick him up to drive him for a treatment and found him – he had died during the night. It’s really bugging my uncle that his son died alone. But I gather my cousin wanted to live in his apartment as long as possible before moving in with his parents or going to hospice. I’m going to his wake tonight and funeral tomorrow morning. We’ve lost people from my mom’s generation (including my mom) but my cousin is the first from my generation. I feel so bad for his parents – I can’t imagine watching a child suffer for a year before dying. 😥
I hope for your cousin that he went peacefully in his sleep. I can understand him; I’d want to keep my independance as long as possible. But I also feel for your uncle; I’m sure he wished he had been there during these last moments.
My thoughts are with you.
Hugs!

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmSorry to hear the news. I can also understand independance. My great-grandfather was in and out of the hospital. He knew it was time for him to go and he wanted to be at home to spend what time he had left. I think it would be more peaceful to die there at home then at the hospital like my grandma did.
I am so sorry to hear this.
5 and a half years ago, this happened to us with a friend of ours, his best friend and roommate came home from a business trip and found him. We were devastated, as he was a very dear friend and considered family. He was 37, heart gave out.
So I know what you are going through. Sudden losses are really hard to accept, and even though you all knew your cousin’s health was very poor, you all had been hoping the radiation therapy would save him, so his passing was still a major shock.
My heart goes out to you all, and I hope the coming days you are able to say goodbye. Lots of hugs, and if you need anything just let us know.
