I heard today that one of my cousins is not doing very well and may not live much longer
This poor family has gone thru so much in their lifetimes.
Her father was my dad's youngest brother.
In Dec. 2002 her younger sister died at age 30 very quickly and unexpectedly of diabetic complications leaving young children behind.
In September 2003 her dad, my uncle, died of liver disease. He was 56 years old.
In December 2003 her mother, my aunt, died in a car accident on slippery roads during a snowstorm.
She was 55 years old.
Both this cousin and my aunt had children die within days of birth.
Now my cousin at the ripe old age of 38 (39 in January) is almost at the end of her life from breast cancer.
She has two children ages 13 and 14. Apparently she refuses to acknowledge that she might die and will not make arrangements for her children. Says she is NOT dying.
I can actually picture her saying this
She was and is still obviously, always the feisty one
She is in the hospital and says that she does not want any visitors.
Should I respect that or should I go and visit her.
We were never really all that close since there was a fairly large age difference. We did get along well when we were together though. She was always going to come over and have a look at my family tree program on the computer
I would have to drive an hour to go and see her. I feel the urge to go but I don't want to cause her any more grief
