My condolences. I've lost a lot of family as well, including my parents. I've also been witness to the slow, painful deterioration that cancer causes. Having to watch from the sidelines helpless to do anything, conflicted between not wanting to lose them and wanting their suffering to end.

Coupled with my depression, maybe I've experienced too much trauma and grief to find EW's message or most of its characters relatable.
