I'm going to be losing a good friend of mine to an inoperatable brain tumor...

She was like a mother to me.


I really need a hug

OzOz

Definitely not good news for you or your friend to start the week with.

Sending a big hug your way...

<<<<<<<<<<HUG>>>>>>>>>>

To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Hug to you. My condolences.

sorry to hear that...I'm facing the same thing with an old coworker, except he's not that old, just about his 30s. I've been visiting him for the past few weeks.

good luck.

*hug*

I lost my cousin to melanoma several months ago and it still hurts. I'm sorry.

I am so sorry to hear that.

One of my best friends lost her father to brain cancer a few years ago and her family put together a foundation in his honor. I know everyone has their own way of dealing with news like this, but if you are the type to find comfort in learning all you can about it or in joining a community, maybe you would like to visit their website.

Keep your chin up and show her your love while she's still here.

*HUGS*

*hug* I know there isn't much, if anything, we can say. But I hope the hugs help a little bit.

Ayashe

*Hug* Sorry to hear about this. Tough times for sure, she will need her friends now. So many tend to walk away when they see their friends suffering with Cancer not really knowing how to handle it. I wish I could offer you more support. *Hug*

I know that nothing we say will really make you feel any better, unfortunately in these situations everything seems a bit cliched.

But still ....

Real sorry to hear about your friend. Stay strong.

Today is extremely tough.

I got a final and I'm worried about my gf.

Its just a whole lot to deal with right now

passthru

My close friend's mom is in a similar situation, and it's encroaching on a part of the brain directly related to personality. Her last 6 months have been a countdown with big changes to her character.
Best of luck to you, and your other friends, and a hug.

Hey,
I'm truly sorry... I have learned in the last year that life is really fragile and we all have to live each day like it's our last! I also need a hug and will be posting my hard time's in this forum. Please hug me back, all I can say is dedicate the rest of your life to living for today! Remember the good times!
