| 0:00.0 | Hey Deservant Listeners, it's just me today. I thought I would respond to your emails about grief and loss and possibly suicide. |
| 0:10.0 | So this episode might be triggering for some so please you know proceed with caution |
| 0:16.0 | anonymous uppetier patron wrote in and said I am dealing with my husband who has |
| 0:22.0 | terminal cancer. |
| 0:23.7 | He has left, it has left, the cancer has left him fatigued, |
| 0:27.2 | disabled, and super narcissistic. |
| 0:29.0 | Let me start over. |
| 0:30.4 | I am dealing with my husband who has terminal cancer. The cancer has left him fatigued, |

| 1:35.2 | the way people react around you they might tiptoe around you or they don't bring it up or |
| 1:45.1 | you know whatever it is that they're doing there you can feel quite isolated and alone and unsupported you know people if you say oh yes turn well cancer and they're and they're like how |

| 2:01.0 | people are just like oh well ten years I mean that's way off you know but to know that you're going to die within 5 to 10 years I mean |
