My aunt and I talked about just that. She had a short term terminal diag, she'd say she was dying quickly. But she wasn't dying of cancer; she was living with cancer until it killed her.
I grew up with the YA novels that were all battle against cancer! But for some of us, some like my aunt, the idea of living with until it could be chased out out or get the final say, appeals more. Because she didn't lose a battle. The other roommate just took precedence. It had nothing to do with her. Stupid ass mutating cells that don't pay attention to poison or pure will.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Oh, quester. That brings back memories. My mom used to tell me "offer it up", too.
Today has been another day of not much accomplished. The Internet is mostly to blame.
I have to sit down and think through this week's Bay Area trip so I can remember anything I need to pack, charge, buy or otherwise prepare for.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
You offer up your suffering to God in thanks for him sacrificing his son on the cross for our sins.
I don't get it. Suffering as a gift? How do you do that? However, "suck it up and shut up", I get.

Catholic logic does not fit reality.
Basically, nothing we suffer can ever be as great as what Christ suffered. So, you think about how much he suffered and offer your suffering up to him as a thank you gift.

Right? When someone says "You're a better person than me." I want to ask them wtf they think they would do if mac was their child. Like what? they just wouldn't parent him.
Now I am horribly certain I have said this to msbelle, and if so, what I meant (and maybe many others) is a badly expressed "This seems so hard, and I have the dreadful certainty were I in your position, I wouldn't be dealing with the stress nearly as well. You are doing so well, so go team you! I suck at life!"
However, I am SURE I have said "You're a better person than me" to some person dealing with an awful SO or boss or parent, and what I meant was "Because I would have nutted them." (But usually I just say "Dude, I would have nutted them."

I don't get it. Suffering as a gift? How do you do that?
Don't you remember the creamed corn on Twin Peaks? They ate your suffering in the Red Lodge.
Basically, nothing we suffer can ever be as great as what Christ suffered.
Ha! That's highly bullshit for the Catholic church considering some of the tortures they dreamed up for the Inquisition.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What Erin said with the nutting. And the desperate trying to find a way to resolve the situation with less me. Running away like a chickenshit and being avoidant is totally an option.
I am running away to my bed. Trying for more hours this time round. I can't keep crying in my car this week too.
