Question: How do you cope knowing someone you love is dying!?
i just found horrible news today!. A girl i know named tatjana, someone i've fallen for, was diagnosed with lupus with Transverse Myelitis when she was 11!. she told me she's had several times where she's had to be hospitalied in the icu and almost died, and that the average lifespan after being diagnosed is around 10 to 11 years putting her at 22 and she is now 19 nearly 20!.

she is getting treatment for it, but the only thing its for is to slow the progression since there is no cure!.

This was so heartbreaking to hear!. i still cannot stop crying!. how can you really prepare for something as horrible as this!? Www@Answer-Health@Com

Im so sorry about your news, the reason im responding here is because I actually have been told by doctors in the past that my life would be cut short! I have lupus amongst other conditions!.!.!.
I have lived past the 5 years i was given and im still here!.!.!.and im sure many others out there!.!.!.lupus is really very unpredictable!.

What I can tell you is that LOVE is very if not the MOST powerful drug there is in the world!. Having that person to love and support you and not give up can make a huge difference!.

I think if you can find a way to see past this challenging time and treasure the love you both share, you will find not only you will help her heal but heal yourself!.!.!.you probably dont realise but you are stronger than you think!.

Life has its ups and downs and there are always valuable lessons we learn along the way!.!.!.i know even thou i dont wish to have lupus, i also know I would've been as strong as I am today and wouldnt've valued the little things people take for granted everyday!.

Many blessings, love and hope to you in this challenging time!.!.!.

Truth is that now matter how much you prepare for someone you care about that is dying, nothing can prepare you for that moment!.!.the best thing to do is try to live every moment you have with her and be helpful and supportive, when that does come you can remember her and the best way we as humans can give tribute to those we have lost, is to carry their spirit and the good that they gave us, until our own time comes!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The cold reality of death is that there's no avoiding it !. !. !. some of us just have a better idea of how much time's left!. With this being said, you can either shut yourself away and become a hermit or you can be there for her when she needs you!.

Good luck and stay strong!Www@Answer-Health@Com

The most important thing you need to realize is that death is a fact that happens!. It just happens----sometimes for no reason at all and at all of a sudden, too!. You can't do anything about it, so you might as well as accept it because there is no use crying!. Can you save her life by weeping!? Wipe your tears off and be strong Gabe! I believe in you!. :)

But to accept death does not mean that you are negative!. Be positive!. One fact that I'd discovered is that, the more positive you live, the more content you face death!. Don't you see!? Only by living positively we can conquer the fear of death----that's the key!. Your friend is dying, do something positive with her to make her happy so she can leave this world with a happy heart!. Take her to a date, do her favorite things!. If she is confined to bed sits by her side, holds her hand, tells her some happy stories, wipe her tears off and tell her to be strong and remain strong yourself!. After she is gone, tell yourself that she is at peace now and she no longer suffers!. Then maybe you will bring peace to your heart, too!.

Good luck to you Gabe! :) Be strong!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Many people live with illnesses which they say are certain life spans!. As you can see from the response's which you are receiving!.
I would suggest that you stop thinking of her pending death and focus on her life in the future, she is fortunate to have a person such as yourself who understands her illness and is ready to support her as much as possible, it is hard to find some-one like that in todays world!. Who knows, this might be a blessing in disguise for both of you!.
No one can really prepare for ones pending death, but come on Gabe-your love of your life is not in Hospice is she!? You are looking at something which may not accrue, there-fore my advice to you is to look at it from this point of view!. Do you understand what I am saying!?
Good luck to both of you, you are in my prayers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
