Two deaths in blackpropaganda

A couple of sad days when two friends succumbed to cancer - one after quite a long time, and the other pretty quickly. They were both diagnosed in their sixties - and one got through to his seventieth birthday - and beyond - the other didn't.
I am always a little wary of the concept of 'fighting' cancer - I think the sufferer chooses his/her own way to cope, with the awareness that it might all be in vain. The good thing is that they lived full and productive lives - good family men - and making a contribution in their own ways to the wider community.
You grieve for their families - but not for them - they are released from pain and uncertainty - RIP.

It's always hard for those who are "left behind', because as you said, their loved one has been released from the pain and suffering.

I'm sorry. I know how that feels. First my dad and then one after another after that. Sigh.
