a beautiful woman

i have just lost my sister to an aggressive brain tumour......we had her funeral yesterdy. she was 45. she was diagnosed just ten months. all of her four best friends, her 21yr old daughter....myself we nursed her at home for the last five weeks, she was unable to walk or talk. its been harrowing, but the strength that my sister had, her calmness and true bravery throughout. having lost her independance, lost access to her whole life, her work....driving her car......living, months ago. everyone involved with her nursing, tenderly caring for her evey need, night and day, the strength that people find is humbling to witness, selflessness, generosity of spirit. whatever you are going through..........drawer strength from one another, keep the hope of a full recovery always........if hope is lost.......sharing the last months, weeks and days, hours together, is a very special tīme.......you will all get through it, you will be stronger for your experience, no matter how difficult at the time, family members and survivors of cancer. if i can help anyone with queries, worries, fears.......lovebto hear from you xx

  • I'm sorry to hear your about your sister. I have just lost my husband to an agressive Brian tumour I am so proud of him he also was very brave and battled all the way but unfortunately like your sister it was too strong, I feel your pain and loss. It's been a month past Tuesday and time isn't being very kind to me. Stay close to your family and support each other and keep speaking about the wonderful sister you had. Hugs xx

  • my heart goes out to you.......words cant really describe the true horror of what we have seen them endure, only to have no happy ending. what they have lost what we have lost. we have already begun fund raising.....kirsty daughter Sydnie, set up online a fund raising page through facebook, called just.give.   i think its called. we raised £2,000in last 48 hrs.....for the brain tumour charity. we have a number of fund raising ideas up our sleeve........we feel we need the distraction from our grief. now we are part of the brain tumour world, hope to support raising awareness, raise money towards better treatments. its early days for you and for us.....but doing something in thier memory really helps to distract us, give us all something else to focus on. fondest wishes x

  • Hi your right it's a cruel cancer. My husband raised £4800 in Movember 14  and put this to brain cancer there is so little funding for brain cancer trying  in to finding help for this horrible cancer. I hope you do well , take care x

  • that is remarkable that he did that......supporting the charity is going to be our way of coping with this tragedy.x

     

  • That is so beautiful! I am sure you're poor sister is proud of you offering yourself to help others although you are reeling from all what's happened.  You are wonderful to see the specialness of this time - the rays of heaven shining through all the greyness and pain.  

    All the best - here is a hug for you xxxx - you are so brave.
