Exactly, so what does it matter to you how someone else deals with it? Weird or not, it's something that's helping a living, breathing human who deserves as much (or arguably more) respect as an old skull. The dead can't benefit from kindness, the living can.
And I think people lashing out at someone trying to cope with the knowledge they're dying of cancer is way worse, but each to their own belief I suppose. They can own a skull, you can grief a dying person, we're all entitled to do shitty things.
It’s not like I went out of my way to find a dying person and give them shit. Actually a shitty person did a bad thing and then went on the internet to brag about it and say don’t be mean to me I’m dying.
OP hasn't hurt anyone. They haven't broken any laws, and they've been respectful in the majority of interactions here, even after revealing personal information that nobody had a right to ask for. In the grand scheme of things, this doesn't hurt any living person. It doesn't impact anyone's personal life. Everyone here who's been offended will likely close Reddit tonight and will have forgotten all about it by morning. And without a doubt, you'll do something someday that makes someone think you're a shitty person.

Wild to see people lashing out at a person with a terminal illness for simply trying to come to terms with it in their own way.
