This was originally in the long thread following my post about my mother's passing, but i wanted to make sure people saw it and read about how invaluable they have been and about the need to be safe from the things that contributed to my mother's suffering.
Love and gratitude to all who write words of appreciation and remembrance for my mother. i read all of your comments and it is good to know that this was such a welcoming community for Mama. She often talked about the women on this forum; you were an inspiration to her as well. i wish you all the most diligent and attentive medical care and hope that your very best years are still ahead of you.

Stay strong, and if you begin to feel like you can't, i hope you can rely on loving and kind family and friends, always. Thanks so much for being here for my beloved mother when she really did need all the support she could get, as well as a place for her own voice.
The photo is of my mother, me, and my grandmother Libbe, who died on May 12 at the age of 98.
love,
Jane

Stunning photo. I hope that, in time, you are able to remember all the lovely times you had with these two beautiful ladies. Take care and stay safe, big virtual hugs and love ❤️Xx Jane
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.
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
Hi Jane
Beautiful photo. We will all miss your mums sensible replies when we were not sure which way to turn.
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
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.
Hi Jane, What a beautiful photograph of the three of you. Your mother was so liked and respected on this site sharing information and knowledge. We will all miss her! I hope the memories she has left you with, along with Grandma's, will help and guide you in your loss. Best wishes. Gwen x
Thank you for the care you are showing us in posting at this very difficult time. What an awful year for you loosing your Mama and grandmother. Thinking of you x
Jane, your lovely photo and thoughts on taking care of ourselves is really appreciated. Everyone here will hope the sadenss of your loss will gently fade whilst the joy of your memories gradually gets stronger and becomes part of your everyday. Warmest wishes, Lx
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.
