Her Sister Found OUT!
The woman’s younger sister, who is 17 years old, overheard a phone call from the woman’s doctor and started aggressively questioning her about it.
Her Sisters Reaction
She accused her of being selfish for not saying anything and demanded that she tell their parents, other sibling, grandparents, and even friends.
The Woman’s Response
The woman begged her sister not to say anything and expressed that she doesn’t want to tell anyone. She just wants her last moments to be filled with happiness. She feels like once everyone finds out, they’re going to be sad, and she’ll have to cheer everyone up while coping with her illness.
The Woman’s Dilemma
The woman is now questioning if she is in the wrong for not telling anyone about her illness. She doesn’t want to bring everyone down and wants to spend her last moments in happiness. She also doesn’t want to be the one responsible for cheering everyone up while coping with her illness.
The Verdict

Is It Her Responsibility?

The Internet Responded
One commenter said, “That means that when things get worse, they are going to be the ones there to take care of you, and they really should be aware and able to prepare for that.”
Another person said, “I understand that you don’t want to hurt them, and you don’t want to have to console them when you are going through it, but I do feel like it’s important to sit them down and have a conversation about it.”
A Doctors Opinion
A palliative care doctor responded with their thoughts and said, “I’m a palliative care doctor who has looked after many patients with brain cancer. You have plans for voluntary assisted dying, which means you absolutely must have people to support and advocate for you.”
A Tough Decision
This emotional commenter said, “Telling them now is the biggest gift you can give them. Maybe one of the few things that will help them after you pass.”
