[UPDATE]My [26 F] with my husband [29 M] 1 year, he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, how to make it count?

Good luck u/whenlifegivesyoushit. I teared up a bit when I originally read your first post. Both of your posts have been beautiful, both sad and in a strange way very happy. I'm glad you got to spend such a wonderful month with your husband.

I only have one piece of advice for you, maybe it won't be applicable to you at all. I've read several post here on r/relationships where the widowed OP would refer to their SO as their Ex. You guys did the whole "til death do us part" thing and in no way/shape/form can your husband ever be described as an ex. Like I said, this isn't about you, it's just poor wording on some people's part that bothers me.

I only have one tiny bit to add to your story that you might enjoy. It was hard to miss that about the same time as your original post, reddit was is the process of rioting due to the whole Ellen Pao thing. I found the whole thing discussing. I didn't like how reddit was ignoring it's users, but I HATED all the terrible/sexist/despicable things that redditors where saying about her. Honestly, it I thought about leaving Reddit entirely.

At that time, I was having an argument on Facebook about the whole thing. A friend (who was not a redactor) was ranting about how horrible/sexist the whole website was and the sooner the website went extinct the better. I was able to use your post as countermeasure to that argument. That reddit had a lot of very beautiful, original, (and non sexist) content. Your post and this sub in general are very good examples of the good that this website does leave on the world.

Anyway, thank you for sharing your story. I wish nothing but the best for you. May the memories that you and your husband made last another lifetime.
