Watching SO watching a parent die of cancer

Yep. Literally all u can do is be there for her.

I did it with my wife's mom. There is nothing easy about it.

Watched my Mom, two brothers and my FIL. Many other family members and all I can say, pray for them for a fast passing. Cancer sucks the big one.

I went through it with my Dad, not quit three years ago. I was, fortunately, able to work from home, and move in with him through the end. Most difficult thing I've ever done.

There is one though that worked for me... that I carry to this day...
one friend has lost his dad to a sudden stroke, with no ability to respond for a few months, then death.
Another friend lost his dad to a texting driver, instantaneous death.

I was able to say goodbye to Dad, over five weeks. It was impossibly hard, but I have moments from then that I cherish, and am tearing-up as I type this.

So all I can say, if there is still an active mind of the dying loved one, is consider the moments remaining as a small "blessing" (I know, wrong word.. but still).

Best to your SO and family.

Lost my old man to cancer at a young age. Hope my SO never has to experience that. Sorry to read you’re having to experience that.

I’ve seen 3 people die from cancer in the last 2 months, all of whom were close to me. It’s fricking terrible

It's even tough watching a pet die from cancer.
When it comes down to it, there really just isn't any easy way to watch someone die.

If there is anything encouraging about going through that hell personally, it was that it tightened the bonds tremendously with my family and with my extended family. There is something about going through the sickness and death of a loved one that can be a real learning experience, an opportunity for growth. It can be a time of spiritual growth and personal growth , a time to establish the extent of your compassion for others and to be of service. I’m sorry you have to go through this. That was my life last year. Prayers for all involved.
