My younger sister was diagnosed with an agressive cancer this past Feb. We tried EVERYTHING to help support her positive success. She was always eager to participate in efforts, 2nd opinions, etc etc. We would always make sure she felt in control - that she wanted the options, was not pressured, etc etc. She would ask for what she wanted and we would always help. I would make sure it was what she wanted. She never told me she made a request for assisted dying. I thought we talked about everything. One week she asked for my help with an expensive second opinion (she paid) and then the next Wed she had her husband tell me she was scheduled to die the next day and i wasnt allowed to talk to her about it, ask any questions or even cry in front of her. I visited her for a couple of hours, tried my hardest, told her i loved her like crazy and then left. She didnt want me there the next day. I spoke to her that morning for 2 minutes and 37 seconds and then she said she had to go because she was in pain. Again, no mention that she would die shortly. Only an I love you. She was my heart. She then died 1 hour later with her husband, daughter and my mom by her side. She said she wanted to protect me. I am so upset, dissapointed, angry. She didnt tell me this is what she was thinking of doing and gave me less than 24 hours notice, blindsiding me while allowing me to believe we were working on something together. I would have honoured her decision. Why didnt she tell me or my mom before hand? I am just striken with grief and really really confused and upset.
