What a beautiful photograph of the 3 of you and I am sure it will always be a special memory for you. It must be very tough losing your mum and your grandma so close. I lost my mum in 2017, the year I was diagnosed, she was 97 almost 98. I understand and feel your pain. Reach out to us at any time x x x

Hi Jane, hope you are holding up. Thank you for the lovely picture, it's all the lovely memories you have of your mam & gran that will get you through this horrible time in your life. I am sorry your mam suffered in the end ,all anyone ever wants for their parents when their life is coming to an end is for them to slip of peacefully & with dignity so my heart is breaking for you. Your mam is now free from pain & suffering so I hope that helps you in some small way. Thinking of you & your dad Xx

Jane, thank you for your specific advice regarding stent procedure. When my time comes I do not want to be trying to recover from yet another surgery. I did not know your mother personally. Her postings were insightful with well researched commentary. I have serious respect for her intellect and the manner with which she managed her healthcare choices. She was compassionate and grounded. I would have liked to have known her as a friend. She gave much of herself to this group and for that I am quite grateful. Your mom is with you always. Keep talking to her. You know in your heart what she would say.

Thank you for this kind and considered reply, and thanks again to all for the abundance of empathy and compassion in this forum. i am sure my mother would liked to have known you as a friend as well - many of you.

Love,

Jane

What a lovely photo of the 3 generations together. I am so sorry for your loss and for the fact the stent procedure did not afford your mom symptom relief as hoped. I hope in time the memory above is the one that stays with you. Christine x

Thank you for sharing this photo of three generations of women in your family. It’s beautiful. And it’s also a lot to lose in this awful year. I wish you and your father well as you learn to live with your huge loss. And I appreciate your advice about Covid as I struggle with the temptation to visit my daughters! I will always remember your mother’s voice on this forum. Xx

What an awful year for you. All those memories you have of your mother and grandmother will be a comfort to you in the future. I never met your mother but still felt her loss. How much greater the loss is for you .She was so good at sharing and advising us all on this site. Take care and know she is with you and will never leave you. xx

What a lovely group of girls. I appreciate your comments and will take them to heart. May you find peace and joy in all your wonderful memories.

I feel comfortable speaking for others in saying that your mum was a rock for us, her determination to never give up and keep trying all treatment options available, she exuded so much strength and hope. I am grateful to have come across that fighting spirit and sweet, fiery personality in her posts when I first had to join this community, lovely though it is, that no one ever wants to join.

It must have been hard, but thank you for sharing what happened and these words of caution. We have faced so much unfairness over the course of the pandemic, with loved ones in hospital who had to die alone, lost months of treatment time because it was not considered essential, it's all very sad. I'm so sorry that affected your family, as it has mine and so many others.

I hope that the words of love expressed toward your mother bring some peace and comfort. We will never forget her.

Firstly Jane, a lovely photograph. 3 generations.! Laura, your mum Talked about her little family often. She just fought to live for you all.

Everyone on here felt she was a personal friend and she's missed every, single day.

You’re advice is greatly appreciated and thank you for posting at what must be the most difficult time of your life. I think of you often.

When I was young there was a popular song in the charts

“Tell Laura I Love Her”

By Richie Vallance . I’m sure your mum would know that one.

I’ve listened to it (Via Alexa) several times over the last few days.

Love to you and your dad and hope the pain of losing your gorgeous mama will ease a little eventually.

Dear daughter (Jane) of Lindaura,

I sincerely thank you in place of your mother for her communications to me.

She gave me good, sound common sense replies and even jolted me to my better self if I were moaning.

I treasured that honesty,

Thanks to everyone for the warm words for my mother and for the appreciation of the photograph of the three of us. i can't believe i'm the only one left, but your kind and insightful messages are very helpful, and i will have to learn to live with this.

And yes, Angela (Gemimablackvelvet), my mother would know that song. She knew most songs; she was a singer. She had a glorious voice. i am sure you all have talents that should have time to flourish, so i hope all treatment options are presented to you and that you thrive, even with this disease.

Thanks for supporting my mother through the last years, and for providing a space for all women with ovarian cancer and their loved ones.

love,

Jane

RachelFaye in reply to Laurasdaughter3 years ago

🙏Jane, heading in tomorrow at 5.30pm to gynae-oncologist for 4-monthly check-up.

Very uptight this time

Armed with Ca125 and seeking reassurance from ct scan of thorax, abdomen and pelvis

It’s a way of living.

I miss your Mum’s words and spirit even though I live in Ireland, her neighbouring country.

I admire her and salute her and I thank you for your encouraging words

Yes, Jane, thank God and you for your enquiry!

I was very nervous attending this appointment as I have a pain in my side constantly.

NED(no evidence of disease) that day the CT said, Haleluijah!

Next appointment etc pushed out to 6-months time unless/until symptoms....

I have missed reading your Mum’s contributions.

May she rest in peace.

I know you must miss her presence terribly.

There is a saying in the Irish Language:

‘NI IMITHE UAINN

ACH IMITHE ROMHAINN’

(translation)

SHE HAS NOT GONE AWAY

SHE HAS GONE BEFORE US

I found this helps
