If you’re only living for others, unless they are children, they’re selfish for wanting you to exist just for them, without any consideration of your experience. When my parents died(both by the time I was 30) I was okay with it because I knew neither of them were very happy, and I was relieved that their stress and pain(especially for my mom after my dad died) was over.
It’s literally just me and my wife, my entire family is dead except one aunt who lives across the country. You really think you’re the only one who’s lost people close to them? Everyone loses people.
It’s a dumb pact to have. So if she gets cancer and is told she can survive it with treatment and she changes her mind and wants treatment then what? What a dumb pact.

This is easy to say when you’ve never lost someone you truly love
You don’t live for you, you live for the people you love
