Sad to hear. I hope it is peaceful for her, and as time passes you can celebrate her life and move on from her death, if it comes. Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. (Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die!)
Sorry too hear this Swoly. My bests to your cousin. Kinda know what you're going through, I just lost my uncle this last Thursday. 35 years old and left four boys behind.
Sorry swoly. Sounds terrible, and must be very rough. My dad starts his chemo tonight at MD Anderson. Will be there throughout the night with him, so if you're there and need a midnight coffee to keep up, it'll be on me.
Sorry to hear that Swoly. The Big Guy is definitely with you now more than ever. I'll be praying for her, her doctors and for you and your family to find strength and comfort in a time like this. Horrible news again man, I'm so sorry to hear it. But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39
Really sucks to read. Hoping for a miracle and praying for you and your family. What a horrible thing to go through, and at such a young age. Very, very sad.
Thank you, everyone, for your good thoughts. DonnyMost, you and others can donate to my uncle's PayPal. I'll email it to you or in rep comments. I hope this is not the last update I give you and the last one will be a happy one: My cousin will be moved from the ICU at MD Anderson to my Grandparents' home, as opposed to having her in a hospice. Doctors have told us she will not make it past 6 days, but most of us close family members have gotten to say some words to her while she still responded. Her brain is so swollen it is too tired for her to send messages in response. If you ever ask me, cancer is limited. CANCER IS SO LIMITED It cannot cripple love. It cannot shatter hope. It cannot corrode faith. It cannot destroy peace. It cannot kill friendship. It cannot suppress memories. It cannot silence courage. It cannot invade the soul. It cannot steal eternal life. It cannot conquer the spirit.
I'm very sorry to hear about this, SwoLy, and wish your cousin the best. I lost my mother to cancer last year. What a nightmare.
Sometimes, the strongest of the bunch is the one that's sick and possibly resigned to the news. I will keep her in my thoughts and hope that things transition best. God bless!
I just wanted to inform you all that my cousin has passed on to a better life, and that I will see her again in HEAVEN. She fought as much as she could, but has left us only her body to put to rest. Alyssa Martinez, my 21-year-old cousin, born in Los Angeles, California, has passed away after losing her battle with brain cancer. Her parents and two brothers and a sister will survive her and her memory will continue to be here with us. I am happy she felt no pain when she left us. Thank you all for your help in this struggle and time of need. Que En Paz Descanse. May she Rest In Peace.
