My friend Nancy is dying

My friend Nancy is dying. I just found out now. I knew she had cancer that came back, but nobody wanted to tell us because they didn't want to ruin our wedding :(.
Nancy is 43 years old, I talked to her last week and she said "I ain't gonna die", we were just told she has days or hours to live.
I pray for her pain to be gone, I pray for a cure for all cancer, please pray with me.
I love you Nancy.

So sorry to hear that. I was having a pretty bad day today.....nothing seemed to go right. When I read this post it reminded me how trivial my problems are. I will pray for her as well.

Tammy,

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I will keep her in my thoughts. I'm lighting a candle for her now. Does she have children, a husband or loved one she will be leaving behind as well? I will add her family to my thoughts as well. And you too. It is hard to lose a friend.

HUGS

Oh Tammy, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. How kind of her not to tell you until after your wedding.

Cancer is a terrible disease. There are no words anyone can say to make this better. Love her while you can and celebrate her life when she is gone. True immortality is being remembered by people who love you.

Peace,
Jane

She's just my age. It seems so unfair, I hope she can die in peace, and that her friends and family will be okay.

I'll pray.

Thanks for the support everyone.
Nancy died yesterday, I just got the news.
Nancys children, grand babies, husband and Mother were with her when she passed on.
Life is short guys, live it with love.
Hugzzz~Tammy

That's so sad, Snow. I will keep her family and friends in my prayers. It's so hard to lose someone we love:(

I am standing on the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch her until at length she is a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then someone at my side says, “There! She's gone!” Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side, and she is just as able to bear her load of living weight to her destined harbor. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, “There! She's gone!” there are other voices ready to take up the glad shout, “There she comes!”
And that is dying. Wow. That is incredible. Where did you find that, if you don't mind my asking......It's beautiful.

It's so hard to lose someone we love because we know that we will miss that person so much.....miss spending time together, miss laughing together, miss crying together, miss sharing so much. Reading inspirational writings such as what you posted here, Dragonfly, really does help to see the loss from a different perspective.

Not a day goes by that I don't deeply miss my sister who passed away over eleven years ago. She was my best friend for 37 years....I couldn't even imagine life without her in it. I thought I'd never get over the pain and sadness, and I didn't believe people when they said, "it will get easier." It *did* get easier......I just hope that when I die, my sister will be there with others saying, "Look! Here she comes."

Tammy,

I am really sorry for your loss. Hold her close in your heart and always remember that she loved you in this life and will still love you in the next.

In sincere sympathy to you, her friend

Dragonfly, that really is beautiful.

SnowP, I'm so sorry for your loss. :(

Im sorry for your loss, Tammy. I am keeping you all in my prayers...

That is so sad snow. I hope her family has a lot of support. Why does this have to happen?

God bless.

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, SnowP. Cancer is such a devastating illness. I'm so sorry that she had to go through that.

Your all so kind.
You know, I really don't have many friends around here.
My family is in the Dakotas, Colorado, Oklahoma.
I only met Nancy 2 years ago, and at first I thought she didn't like me much. I met her thru mutal friends and she invited us all to her home for a bonfire.
Than she hired me to clean her house, and she welcomed the kids over to fish or whatever, always had them help her with little things, she would slip them money, she would feed us.
Will and I and the boys would go over for bonfires and Turkey Roasts, she was kinda scatterbrained, I would help her with anything.
Nancy lost her breast 2 years ago, and the cancer was in remission after that, she had her hair cut before it fell out and donated it.
This May the cancer came back, to the lungs & liver.
Nancy had morphine patches for the pain, but she kept saying "I ain't gonna die" she had kind of a Texan accent.
Last friday, she had a hospital bed placed in her living room where she laid for the last time......
Her husband, children and grand kids and Mother all hurried by her side and were with her when she passed.......
Her funeral was sad and she requested 3 songs to be be played....
Tears from heaven~Eric Clapton
I will always love you ~whitney
Sweet Dreams~Patsy Cline
Nancys Mother started yelling "my baby" during the service~ it was so tough.

I went to the dollar store today~ there were some bird wind chimes on clearance rght in site as I walked in the door, I have never owned a wind chime before, I bought it........
Nancy loved windchimes, she had over 50 in her home..........
I remember thinking the last time I saw Nancy a few weeks ago "please God, I found a friend, let me keep her"

My wind chime reminds me of a friend, a good friend, my friend of gold.

Luvzzz
~Tammy
