I think that because this is a cancer support board that's why it bothers most of us so much. We can easily put ourselves in the place of the love one who lost the battle. No one wants to think that they can be so easily replaced especially by one who declared such love and total devotion to us. We are all human, we know what we may face. The disease in itself is horrible and then your mind starts to wander about how soon you'll be set aside as if you really didn't matter that much anyway.

Maryjo, I understand what you are saying, my friend. But we, as the patients, are hurt to easily when we hear of a replacement so soon. Then we dwell on our own situations. It can become very depressing.
I'm so glad that we can discuss this subject together.
I love you all
