My dads battled cancer twice, and I’ve watched him come close to death on several occasions. I have seen him struggle and battle and endure and as a support person it’s also incredibly tough and on one hand while I understand the urge to duck out, I cannot fathom actually doing it. I would rather lose my mind and be with the person I love, even if it meant holding their hand when they died than leaving them alone and regretting not spending every second I could with them. Even more I cannot imagine fucking advertising the fact that I was a coward like that and proudly talking about it in a public forum. I would disappear and not be able to face my friends and family. What a cop out, I think it says a lot about him that he can still be civil to her, I would not have been able to.
