I have a relative with the same cancer so it’s going to be rough hearing people celebrate the pain he’s in. probably should just avoid comments for a bit.
I’m not attempting to guilt anyone. I apologize if it seemed that way.
This was mostly notice to myself to avoid these comment sections, so I’d see my comment in my profile and remember not to click certain articles. If someone describes the pain in detail they wish on him and it’s relevant to my uncle’s illness, i will imagine my uncle experiencing that pain. i just will, and i see no need to train myself out of it. there’s no value in that, for me. I like reading news comments, so I’ll often just click an article I see with them without thinking.
I work in hospice, everyone’s journey is different. As you hear things (some people share stories intending to be well meaning) try to let it slide off. Focus on your families and your needs, and know that there are resources available for assistance and support (social workers, spiritual needs, etc.)

Good luck to you and your loved ones, and hopefully you can avoid the comments.
Was your relative heavily complicit in a genocide which killed at least 40.000 people using weapons they provided?

It’s none of my business what you post.
That makes sense. I interpreted your comment wrongly and I apologize for that. I wish your uncle all the best!
