When I hear of people dying of cancer, I have those thoughts that you are having, but I force them out of my mind and carry on. You're right, we don't know what is in store for us in the future, best to live in the present from day to day. So, yes, I think it's normal to think that way. I also agree about letting people linger, it's a terrible thing to watch people we love suffer at the end. We can only hope they are pain free. It's all a bit fresh for you with your Aunt, hopefully time will ease your bad thoughts. All the best,
