The answer

Wishing for death due to the severity of an illness is not considered disbelief if it stems from impatience and pain, while still submitting to Allah's divine decree and destiny. This differs from a situation where the reason is doubt in Allah's wisdom and justice. The questioner is advised not to dwell on obsessive thoughts concerning disbelief but rather to turn away from them.
