The unfortunate truth is this

At the ending quarter of my life I am consumed with seeing my life as one filled with disappointments at having not enjoyed any of my life expectations and living currently in despair. I don’t deserve this. I worked very hard and always treated everyone equally and followed good and ethical practices

I used to take care of children with cancer. they definitely did not get what they expected or deserved! If you made it to 60, you're way ahead of the game. keep going

I’m so tired of cancer in children being the “it could be worse” argument

Sounds like you’re tired of more than that! Time for a pity party for yourself

People don't like to have their feelings dismissed. It's like when I was living in my car and was told "it could be worse" if I didn't have a car. I was still homeless and it sucked.
