What a heartbreaking story, Petrena and my heart goes out to you. I lost my sister in November through terminal cancer and honestly, it was harrowing and without a doubt, the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. Watching someone you love so much fade away in front of you is devastating.

Your poem is beautiful and resonated with me. Sending heartfelt hugs and kind thoughts. We definitely need more kindness in the world and having gone through what I went through recently, I have made a pact to be kinder to myself going forward.

Take care, Rosy. ❤️‍🩹

So sorry, Petrena. I get it. It’s good that you were there, even when it was brutal. I went through this with my husband and watched him look death straight in the eye as he cruised Big Lots in a wheelchair and I carted him through a toy show to collect one more treasure. I left work behind and suffered with him, and I’m not sorry. I do think about it a lot, though. I won’t forget him, and I know you won’t forget your daughter, either. ❤️

Carole, thank you for sharing such a difficult time. I know it gives me peace to know I was with my daughter during those months.
