My dear friend is about to die.

[MyMomUsesColorSafeBleach]

We've been friends since we were 8 when we met at primary school, we're 33 now. She has been diagnose with Leukaemia 2 months ago, immediately started treatment but has had some complications and became far too sick to continue treatment, she has declined rapidly, so rapidly and yesterday her husband been told it will be just days left.

She has 3 year old twins and a 14 week old. I'm heartbroken for them, her husband, for me, her friends, her family, my family who love her. I barely know a life without her in it. I cannot imagine a world without her in it.

I'm so sorry OP, life can be so unbelievably cruel.

This will sound like a stupid thing to say, but if she hadn't declined so quickly, the fact you will be their for her kids would have meant a lot to her, which is testament to your great friendship.

Words can't explain how sorry I am, and how tragic this is. Those poor babies. Please please accept help, don't bottle anything up and keep talking. This is going to be so hard, there's no escaping it. Talk to us too, use us as a shoulder to cry on or just a place to write as many words you can find that describe how awful this is.

Thank you all, She was ace, funny, kind, the WORST gift giver (she bought me a whole load of bee things once because she "knew we'd talked about them but couldn't remember why but thought it was because I loved them". It was because id been stung by one, had an anaphylactic reaction and now carried an epipen!) and a very questionable cook but she was fiercely loyal, took no shit from anyone and would be the first to congratulate you something.

She saw somwthig on instagram back when she was pregnant with the twins about how mums are never in pictures or videos and told her DH in no uncertain terms that he was to take a picture everyday (which he did!) under threat of his death and she recorded everything she did with them for her memories, I ripped the piss out of her once for having over 40,000 photos and videos and needing the biggest iCloud storage but im so grateful she did it, im so grateful they will have so much. They will always be able to hear her voice and see her move around. It will never be enough though

I am so, so sorry. 💐 How terrible for her family, her tiny children and of course you, OP.

Oh, op. This has broken me 🥺

I am so very sorry for your loss. She sounds like a legend! And a woman who takes no shit is a woman to be admired!

May she rest in perfect peace, forever to watch over her babies and her family and friends.

My heart goes out to her family, which sounds as though it includes you.

Nothing I say can comfort you, but you all are in my prayers ❤️

I am so so sorry for your loss. What a horrible tragedy and great sadness for you all. Your friend was blessed to be so ‘seen’ by you. I hope it may be some comfort to you that you will have so much to share about her with her children as they grow.

You are all in my prayers tonight. May your treasured friend rest peacefully ❤️

Oh fucking life - I’m so very sad and sorry for you and that poor family. My heart is breaking for you and for them.

I am so very sorry. You must have felt so helpless. But in the future there is something very important you can still do for her. You knew your friend from early childhood, and you have shared so much. Those memories of her will be a treasure trove for her children in the future. You can play a massive part in keeping her memory alive for them. And doing so will truly honour your friend.

I’m so, so sorry

Sending you the gentlest virtual hug x

My heart breaks for you, her family and all those that loved her.

my love to you xx

FFS 😢💔 I’m so sorry OP

How terribly sad and what a lovely woman she sounded.

I am so sorry life can be so cruel and unfair at times my thoughts are with you and her family

This is one of the saddest things I have ever read. You poor thing and her poor family. I am so so sorry OP, and all of you that have been affected by this disease. Tears streaming here, sending so much love xx

I’m so sorry. You have brought her character to life on this thread and she sounded awesome. Thinking of you all

So very sorry. Heartbreaking for everyone involved.

oh OP. This is just tragic news.
Your dear, dear friend.
It’s clear how much you loved her, in future you’ll be able to tell her precious babies just how wonderful their mother was.
Sending so much love to you, her DH, family and the DC.

What a cruel thing to happen to you and her friends and family. Absolutely wicked for this to happen. No rhyme or reason. Sending love ❤️

Oh I'm so desperately sorry to hear this. How heartbreaking for everyone and so endlessly cruel, especially someone so young. She sounds like a fabulous person (as do you).

I'm 52 and have lost 4 friends to cancer in the past 3.5 years. It's hideous. Thinking of you and her family and friends, particularly her poor husband and babies. How lovely that you knew her for so long and have all those memories and history to share with the children when they're older. Although I'm so very sorry she's not here to do that. Look after yourself as well as everyone else. It's a great loss and a terrible shock. Xxx

Oh my god, I am so so sorry. This is absolutely bloody tragic. Its so difficult to even wrap your head round how life can change in the blink of an eye like this. Its so bloody unfair. 😭

I feel so much for her family and friends. How do you even start to come to terms with something like this?

Sending you hugs 🌹

Thank you everyone, I'll tell you more about her soon I'm sure but today im just really fucking sad x

This wasn't stupid, it made me cry xx

Utterly heartbreaking OP.
I am so sorry. 😢

Oh OP I’m so sorry. What a wonderful person she sounds like. I love the bee story, that gives a wonderful insight to a quirky dear friend. Wishing you strength to get through this as best you can. X

I am so very very sorry.
