If you thought you were sick, like potentially fatally sick, and you didn't tell the people closest to you, would that be considered lying? No reason I'm asking, just curious.
Fear....stops pple from telling loved ones. Fear that THE FEAR becomes real. Not lying imho b/c pple are just trying to cope. When I worked palliative care those that told family late usu said this...and they didn't want things to change and be treated differently. (((padas))))..xx

I was taught to be this way by tough, old-school people who walked backwards and uphill in blizzards to get to work--and did it naked. *shrug* :D
