My cousin has been diagnozed of the last stage of cancer in summer. It's been a long fight of what is inevitable, and now she is dying any day. I live across the world from them but I called her since the day that she got sick on more than a few occiasons. It's been hard.
I have never been in this situation before. What should I talk about to a person who is dying? I tell her how much I love her, I tell her to be strong. Should I talk about her leaving us? Or shouldn't I? But then she might think I don't know how serious her condition is.
Every single time I call, I am scared but I cannot be selfish and protect myself by not calling. It's not about me, it's about her. So I try to call her because I think it makes her happy because she knows that people care? But what should I say and what shouldn't I say? She is 17 years older than me and we don't have much in common. But I love her. She is my cousin, she is my blood.
