SusieJo, May God bless you with comfort and courage and many earth-angels to care for you. Like others, I remember you were one of the first (or The first) to reply to my first post. You are a wonderful asset to this community, and it is so generous of you to help so many others through your sharing your experiences and encouragement. Xoxo
SusieJo,
Sending prayers for peace, no pain and a gentle landing. When my time comes I hope I’ll still be able to share love and caring the way you do
Sending prayers, and gentle hugs your way.🙏
Hugs Susiejo1948. Sorry to hear it’s been rough for you as of late. I’ve been fighting almost 11 years. At one point they drained my lung of the fluid and the coughing substantially stopped. It was horrible. I’m not sure if it is a possibility for you. We all have different treatment on the same journey. Please keep your head up you have done an amazing job for many years. Enjoy any minute you can. I always relish in that thought. I’m still here enjoying my children, now grandchildren and friends. I now have another one on the way!! I never thought I would see Grand babies!! My oldest son turns 30 tomorrow. May our tomorrows bring us hope and joy and for you a little less suffering. 🙏🏼
You are blessed in that you have affected, and still affect, so many people for the better. And that makes us blessed. Not everyone has the talented mix that you have and share: compassion, guidance, knowledge, generous with time, and sharing those gifts. It saddens me, and certainly many others, to know of your current challenge. Love, light, and blessings to you. I’m pulling for you to have minimal hardship- know that you are loved.
SusieJo, I hope you can get some relief from your pain and discomfort soon. Your fighting spirit has served you well so far and helped others no end. Thanks for being so willing to help others. thinking of you...
SusieJo I am so very sorry that you are suffering. You have been such an inspiration to me that there is life after a cancer diagnosis. Thank you for being here for all of us dear! Hoping that your breathing gets easier and you feel better.
I’m praying for you Susie. I’m so sorry to hear your going through this and are having pain. Hugs and Love going your way.
Prayers, SusieJo, to ease the pain in your body & to keep your spirit strong as always!
SusieJo, your generosity of spirit and support has helped so many of us here. You have been a bright light in a landscape that is difficult to navigate and we have benefited from your encouragement many times over.
Wishing you Peace.
SusieJo,
My heart ached as I read your letter. I only meant you two months ago but feel I’ve known you much longer. You answered my first call for help on healthunlocked. Your words and encouragement brought me hope and courage. 😊 thank you so much.
As you now face your pain and suffering I want to bring you hope. The hope of eternal life. A life after our earthly tents fall. A new body awaits us in heaven. No tears, no pain and old friends and family await our arrival. It is written and acknowledged over and over in God’s word in the Bible. It’s a living Hope we can cling too in our final days here in earth. Jesus is waiting for you and the rest of us in heaven. I personally believe this more than ever and it gives me such peace of mind.
Sorry for the sermon, but I couldn’t find Hope but in Jesus,
Love and prayers SteveO

I am so terribly sorry for your current difficulties and suffering. I hope that these ease as much as humanly possible, and that you can continue to build on your legacy of compassion, caring, and empathy here in this community. You have helped so many of us in some of our darkest times.
Gentle hugs and fervent prayers,
Ann
I rarely post but have read your posts over the past few years. You have always inspired hope, confidence and comfort to those of us who need it most, at a time when we feel so lost. I thank you for that. I hope that you can feel the true appreciation and encouragement so many have for you and as we travel on this journey together.
Hugs 🤗
Dear Susie Jo,
Thank you for being a bright light for all of us on this journey. I don't often write, but many times you brighten my day with your kind, loving spirit! Praying that this is a temporary setback and that God hold you firmly in the palm of His hands,
Dear SusieJo, Thank you for sharing your update with us. So glad your mind and fingers are still bringing such an inspiration to many. Let the nurses take care of you and reach out to Palliative Care (Supportive Care) if you have not already. Hugs to you!
Warmly,
Kim

Does anyone know how SusieJo1948 is doing? Denzie ?
I’ve tried to find out. She hasn’t posted anything on Facebook. I haven’t had any chain mail on Messenger and she sends it quite regular.
As some of you know her cancers were well under control but her COPD (emphysema) was getting worse and she entered end stage. She was put on hospice just before she write this.
I’ll reach it to some of her Facebook friends and try to learn more.
Oh gosh, that's awful to hear. Thank you for looking into it! Hope she's okay or at peace. <3
