I believe I will watch it, to learn. I am both saddened and horrified by what she's gone through. I hope I am not too traumatized by what I see, because it seems the message may be of hope and admiration for her courage, strength, and spirit, but also one of futility. What most of us fear- cancer is a horrible, nightmarish death sentence. I do not feel hopeful knowing all her money and endeavors to survive will be for naught. Then again, there is something to be gained from learning how to die- a subject swept under the carpet for most of us. We all consume ourselves with learning how to live- but if death is part of life, we can't ignore it- though I'd like to.
I must say, watching my parents die taught me a lot. In both cases, in the end- love triumphs.
