OP, you're a good person thinking of your neighbor. It's tough. Cancer is a @#$#$. I lost my dad just before I finished highschool. During the graduation ceremony, I really put my best friend on the spot saying it felt weird that both my parents weren't there to attend (mom was w loved ones on some vacation trying to clear her mind). Poor guy just stood there speechless.
The thing is I dunno if I really learned from that experience, at least I dunno how it affected me, maybe on a subconscious level it did, but it's not as if it motivated me to do something great.
Things like what happens to certain ppl really make me wonder like why does a pos driving drunk leave an accident unscathed while killing a whole family that went out to buy some Father's Day gift with the poor dude waiting forever at home for his departed family? Sometimes life is just supremely unfair and ridiculous.
