Sometimes people want to remember a loved one as they were and not how how they wasted away due to a disease, especially one as horrendous as cancer. There are times I wish I didn't witness the pain and suffering.
Same lame ass excuse used by everyone that didn't want to be there for the ones around them suffering. No one wants to see that, but that is what love and humanity are all about.
My young wife died of cancer; it took awhile, and she was a beam of light right up to the end. There were those that uttered your words and they missed the very best in that sweet woman and they have to live with that, although most were too selfish to care anyway.
