Taurus and Illness

Of course one does. It is ours to shoulder.

He sounds like a very strong man, a good man. Of course he knows he is terminal, I am sorry he is so. Of course he will also do what he chooses to do and enjoys. It is..a very honest realization. You cannot change it, nor will you let it beat you. It is a middle finger to all of it. It will NOT get me down, it will NOT interfere with my life, it will NOT interfere with people I hold dear.

We own you see, and even to this. In times of great stress and pain we wall up and away. This has nothing to do with making others suffer or frustrated..it is just that it is ours alone and we know full and well that this is so.
My illness, my pain. I will not go down without a fight. You knock me down I will continue to get up. Merely for the satisfaction of spitting right in its proverbial eye. A warriors stance, one that will never yield.

As painful as it is for those who love him, he alone knows what he will and will not accept. Again, his quality of life, his pain, his suffering, and ultimately his decision.
Do not molly coddle the man, embrace him and continue showing him love. It feeds and sustains. Cookies of course, are never remiss. Just love him Lioness, and show your strength in numbers. Providing him the unbreakable bridge to travel upon.

Huntress yes all Bulls are like that, I myself being one..I hate hospitals.

I was dating a bull for 3 yrs, he would hide what was wrong with him from his son and me...I had to find out what was wrong by going to his medecine cabinet and looking up what were his meds for online...He got real mad because he said he did not want anyone he loved to be worrying about him, he said he was the protector and he was the one that had to take care of us, not the other way around. He needed to know he was in control of himself and those he loved.

I agree with VB.continue to show him he is appreciated and loved and more so let him know that you still need him in your life, Bulls like to know that you need them. Im sorry about his illness, he sounds like a great person. Good luck sweetie.

LOL Yes. Our herd. We keep a watchful and proud eye on the entire pasture. Bull, cow, calves..everyone.

I know one case, my father, he was very strong and not willing to go to doctor. For 3 months he coughed, 1 year later he was dead, the max time to live.

But he was the most beloved of all family, the best qualities of Taurus, he was there for everyone.
