10. My wife and soulmate died of ovarian cancer

She chose a medically assisted death in our living room two weeks after she tried to commit suicide. I was present and supported her through both, so I'm quite familiar with horrible death. I'm not in the least sociopathic, or so my therapist tells me.

I don't revel in death, but my perspective as an ecologist makes me see it in different terms than most people. I think you and I are probably too different in that way for an exchange of a few messages on DU to bridge the gap. So I'll just say that I'm deeply sorry for your loss, and I understand how much anger a death like that can generate. Please accept my sympathy, I'm very sorry I upset you so much.
