Topic: Our beautiful daughter left us on Oct. 1, 2011

It is with unbelievable sadness that our beautiful Sara, age 26, passed  away from this horrible disease.  She was diagnosed on April 4, 2011 and put up a brave and courageous fight.  We were lucky enough to be able to keep her at home with the help of hospice and her passing was peaceful.  We are still in a state of shock, this happened all so fast, please keep fighting and researching to find a cure for this.  Thank you for this website, it is a wealth of information.

I'm very sorry for your loss.  I don't know what else to say.  It's just not right to have this disease at such a young age.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear Sara passed away.  There's no rhyme or reason of why that we can understand, but I pray you will be able to feel God's arms around you.

I am so sorry for your loss. My daughter, Lauren, was diagnosed with cc on Aug. 29,2011. She is only 25. I do understand how your world was turned upside down. God bless your family. It must be such a hard time for you. I do believe Sara will be with you forever in your hearts. I will pray for you and your family to find peace in Sara's memory.

Dear IChase,

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your beautiful daughter from this terrible disease.  Please accept my sincere condolences and I pray that God will see you through this most difficult time.  It is a shame that such young people have to suffer from such a devastating cancer.  I pray that each day will get a little easier for you; take comfort that Sara is no longer in pain and that she is at peace.  May God bless you and your family,  PeggyP

I am so very sorry- it is not the natural order of life. A parent should not bury their child. I heard this poem at a funeral of a young boy and I wanted to shrare it with you. I hope that it can give you some comfort.

Re: Our beautiful daughter left us on Oct. 1, 2011

CM, my mantra when I am feeling down about Teddy is, "Shame on me, I got to have for 16 years what most people never have in a lifetime". That always seems to clear my hear for awhile.

Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.

Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort.

Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity.

Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near,
Just around the corner.

CM, They do want us to live life to the fullest, so I think we need to do that for our wonderful husbands. It will take time but we will get there.

So very very sorry to hear of the tragic loss of your darling daughter Sara. She was way to young to be taken by this awful disease. Thinking of all your family and wishing peace and strength in the days and weeks to come.
