[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 939076, member: 88961"] What a dreadful thing to happen to the person. I think in those circumstances, one's mind is in survival mode, and considering the alternative, the upbeat approach is often seen. When both my parents had their terminal diagnoses they were each incredibly up-beat about how good their lives had been, how happy they had been and what a joy my brother and I had been to them during their lives. I was absolutely humbled, and in awe, and I just hope should my time come to hear that dreadful news that I will also be able to reflect in such a positive way. Indeed, those were two periods in my life which significantly influenced my need to make the best of every day, and to get what had been, until then, a poor work/life balance into better order. Not one single one of us knows when the day will be that tomorrow just doesn't come. I hope for us all, it's a long, long time ahead. What has your husband's reaction to this been, Molly? Does he know the individual concerned? [/QUOTE]
