Survivor guilt (?)

I was never sick or needed much care. However the cancer diagnosis is humbling. My best friend, my wife of 51 years, mother of my children, suddenly developed cancer after helping me thru my surgery and the trauma of a cancer. We couldnt fix hers. If there was one person I would have traded with, it was her. Still trying to make sense of it. What a way to get lucky. ): .

My wife fought her cancer hard. (nsc lung). Radiation, chemo, clinical trials, hundreds of hours, thousands of miles, for 2-1/2 years. I brought her to each and every one. That was 13 years ago. Sure wish she was still around to return the favor. I don't have survivor's guilt. I'm just pissed.
