It's like my in-laws.... Three years ago, a few days before Christmas, my mother-in-law discovered she had breast cancer. (They already lost one son.) Father-in-law was like a little bitch, crying the entire day "why does this have to happen to us?" and that kind of nonsense. My mother-in-law, sixty-five years old, son of a bitch, didn't skip a beat, full steam ahead, went through chemo, lost her hair, bought a wig, eventually lost her breast.... But not for a single moment did she let it get her down, and she never thought she wouldn't beat it.
You either handle things or you get handled.
That's just the way I see things.

I get that
I think you're a douche rather than being blunt here, as well as being blunt on other things (where I don't find you a douche on that particular subject). Far be it from me to tell you how you should handle your own shit (or not), just I find it amusing and somewhat baffling that you'd have your own way of handling things as the benchmark for how others should.
As for your cool story, I'm not sure how that's relevant to anything except your relation, and that specific situation that was only hers? I've handled more shit than I care to think about, that would destroy some, and not others. I found out, through life experience, that what that means is: some shit would destroy some, but not others.
I then jumped to: some things that would destroy me, wouldn't destroy others. Because I am not them, and they are not me. Here's a little saying that I always remember: don't belittle *anyone's* experience - they had it.
Regardless of how I'd handle it (or get handled), what I try to do is not jump in with a 'my penis is bigger than yours, and so is my grandma's'. Else I'd just come over as a douche
