One of my wife's friends is dying of cancer. She was told she had perhaps 5 years to live, but she has lived with it for about 7 years.
She is now in the very last stages and has days or weeks to live. She was in hospital, but has come home to die.
It must be incredibly difficult for her, her husband and all their family. It is so hard to know what to do for the best.
It brings our own limited time on this planet into focus. I am reminded of the famous poem "Spring and Fall' by Gerard Manley Hopkins.
