LisaAnnB Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 My family has suffered another sad death this week: my 62 year old cousin passed away yesterday from mestatic breast cancer-her 3rd fight with breast cancer. It's so sad because of how hard she fought to beat it 3 times. We come from a very large clan & her family are all like siblings to my family. Friday I had called her sister to tell her I'd be up this coming Saturday to bring a shoe box of photos of their family & our other cousins, I'd found while sorting all Mom & Dad's so her & her sister & other family could enjoy them while Denise was still alive. She said Denise had been having some pretty decent days even with hospice coming in every day & that they'd look forward to seeing the photos. Guess now we can look at them after the funeral. A bit surreal is that her funeral is Friday-exactly 3 months after my Dad died. It's going to be a really tough day & I don't know exactly how to deal with all these different emotions. Was just getting a grip on Dad's death but I have a tough time on many Fridays [THE day, not the date] as it is. I know Dad & the rest of our angel family were there to greet her. My parents were her God parents & Mom is taking this very hard too; she's in Houston with some of my sisters & can't get back so another sister, a brother & I will be representing our family. OH & we also got the news that my Mom's last living sister in law is in critical condition after a fall this week & it's not looking good. Oh & on Valentine's Day we get to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of my best friend's death. I'll actually be travelling to Kansas City with 20 friends & former co-worker to send up gold crown balloons in front of the Hallmark Crown Center to celebrate her life & how we all met [working for Hallmark corporate]. Thought 2013 was going to be better & not filled with death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyT Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I'm so sorry to read this sad news, Lisa Ann. Please know that I am thinking of you and your family . . . ♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I'm sorry you're taking another hit. I don't know why it seems to come in bunches sometimes, but I have a friend going through this too, lost three people dear to her within a month. It's just very hard, try to hang in there, it won't continue like this indefinitely but I'm sure it feels that way right now. (((hugs))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnC Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 It's hard when it piles up. I lost my aunt, cousin, and brother all in one month. My other aunt is 90 and feeble. I just turned 60 last week and am feeling very morbid about death, my own and that of loved ones. Maybe because my brother's recent death at 44 is a reminder that we never know how long anyone will live. Feeling very depressed today. At five months, I have more good days, but still have these very black days, and probably will for a long time, just not as frequent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
