This is some pretty powerful stuff.
There have been times in my life when I was certain my family would be better off without me. I also tend to think I'll want to make my exit from this world when my husband's cancer finally overwhelms him. Then I think about how awful it would be for our grown kids and our grandchildren to lose both of us at the same time.....no, that's not fair to anybody. And frankly, I know they'd never forgive me and they'd be angry with me for the rest of THEIR lives.
I hope I can remember this the next time I crash and burn. Thanks to Skitz13 for starting this thread.
