[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly I understand where you are coming from. My husband died recently of cancer, which has been heart breaking. [b]When I read people's posts mentioning that they fought so hard so they overcame it by sheer personal will or that God saved them[/b], I also cringe. My husband wanted to live as much as anyone but that f'ing disease killed him against his will. [/quote]

+1 to that.

I hate the "I fought cancer so hard" ok so the person who died of cancer just didn't fight hard, right? ugh.. why can't they just acknowledge that they got very lucky, had an early or treatable form and a good medical team?

So sorry you lost your husband to this horrible disease. [/quote]
Saying you fought hard is not implying that someone else did not. Unless someone says, hey you died  because you did not fought hard then what you are saying is just not true.
People have a right to frame their life struggles the way that they want to and what best describes their journey, their doing so does not invalidate anyone else's.[/quote]
