I have never delt with this before. My
brother's wife who was so positive up to
the last minute of her life died last
night september 5th, 2008. This was the
love of my brothers life. I know that I
need to be there for him, and I am
trying to be so strong for him and their
two sons but I don't know how. I will
miss her smile and her fight against the
cancer she told me that it was not going
to get her, but guess what, it did. She
fought up to the end. I know that I
need to be strong and I will try with
everything inside. How do you deal with
it? She was so young and tried to hang
on for her two boys but it took over her
body and now she is gone. I pray that
someday they will find a cure for cancer
but how much is enough. We all are
losing someone that we love and we all
who are reading this are touched by
cancer by a family member or a dear
friend. She was so positive and
greatful of each day that she lived. I
am going to miss her along with her
family and my brother. She told him two
weeks before she died that he needed to
get used to not sleeping with her when
she had to sleep in a hospital bed in
their living room. He was so upset, but
she was right. I told her that he would
never get used to her being gone. She
understood that. When she died last
night they came and took her body away
and my brother turned to go into their
house and when he opened the door and
steped inside, listening to the hospice
van pulling away, he broke down
realizing that he just lost the love of
his life. Best wishes to those who are
trying to heal from the loss of a loved one. |

Though cancer has its negative effects, in the long run it has been a blessing in regards to the way I live my daily life. I know that each day is a gift to be celebrated and I thank God for opening my eyes to all that is beautiful and good in this world.
