Which way would you be better capable of receiving news of a terminal illness, if you were the one with it or a loved one had it?

Both are incredibly hard situations to deal with, but which would you better off dealing with emotionally? Would hearing the news that you were dying be easier to handle than hearing a loved one is going to die or would you be better capable of dealing with a loved one dying rather than face your own mortality?

I think you would know something was wrong with youself, or if you was living with someone, you would see they were ill, or be told by them there was a problem. This would break the shock of being told about dying.

We don't have a choice so I would except whatever will be will be. We all are dying, just a matter of when, but it's worse when someone dies young, the older they are and the easier it is I think.

I just would want all the info flat out no sugar coating for me

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Sure but would it be harder hearing it for yourself or for a loved one?

[Theguywhogoesnude]

Either way has the same outcome and would hurt no more or less to hear straight out

[MemeSupreme]

me? it'd suck but i'd cope

the other one it kinda depends bc i got people in my life i love yet hate

[Agape93]

For both just tell me. I won't break down or anything.

I have dealt with the loved one a few times, I guess I am selfish, I don't want it to be me. However, if the choice is me, or my wife, or son. Let it be me.

I would rather have it instead of my wife or kids. I am pretty much ready to go.

[NathanDavis]

unfortunately, I already know which...

[Jennz6]

I don’t deal well with death

[Alexandra1996]

A love one cause I’d be without them.

[Alexandra1996]

Also wouldn't wanna be a burden.
