Sorry to report a loss

[Nstober]

Hello to all you amazing and courageous women:

I have posted time to time but would eagerly read updated posts each day. My sister Karen, who was diagnosed in jan of 2018 with 4 a HGS lost her battle yesterday. Months after reoccurence kept progressing that damn ascites came back and wreaked havoc for 5 weeks. She had two great summers and lived each day to the fullest.

I learned so very much that I was able to apply for research and questions from you amazing women. I care for all of you and hope you can continue to make great memories.

Wishes of peace and love to all

Nancy

Dear Nancy, I am so sad to hear that your sister has passed and can only hope you find some comfort in remembering the love you shared. When we lose someone, we often focus on the time just before a passing and on the challenges and suffering. Your sister was so much more than her battle and I am hopeful you can think of her in her best days and remember happier times.

Hold onto the love and not the loss. Our hearts are with you.

[Nstober in reply to Hidden]

This was just beautiful. You are right I struggle with the suffering part..she never let this diagnosis slow her down she lived a full life still until the last 5 weeks. Sending you love and peace

[Seavccg in reply to Hidden]

Lovely words and Reminds me to think about all the good times with my sister before she lost her life to OC in November 2017

What I find comforts me the most is knowing Cindy is out of pain, its the hardest thing I have been through but I know that she would rather we remembered the happier times rather than the sorrow of her passing xxx

[Maxjor]

I knew Karen and she was an example of someone who did live life to the fullest--even in the hospital with little time left, she was making plans for November. A caring and bright person who enjoyed food, gardening, playing in a marching band, and her pool (!) is who she was as only a small part of her full life. I will miss her and our daily texts and emails. She told me she was scared but that was the extent to her reaction to what was happening....another sign of who she was and how she lived life.

So sorry Nancy--as an only sibling I am sure the loss is a bit harder for you (is it ever less than very hard?) but as you said you have a loving supportive husband and also I am sure friends and relatives to help you though. Hugs, Judy

[Nstober in reply to Maxjor]

You know how I feel about you Judy you are a gift. I will continue to March along side you and kit on this journey. You gave my sister so very much during this journey. You are a beautiful person

Hugs

Nancy
