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, what a shitty shitty thing to happen.
Unfortunately I lost my mum young, not as young as these kids but I can tell you that it’s brought me immense joy over the years to be able to talk to her friends who knew her well. I’m 50 now, and have had a whole bunch of surrogate mothers who have enhanced my life no end. Hugs to you all.

Oh OP I’m so so sorry. I’m crying for you and her DH, her parents and her darling babies as I write this. So unbearably cruel that it’s almost unbelievable. Sending you all strength and love. Please do keep coming back here whenever you need to talk x

I'm so sorry OP, obviously I don't know you or your dearest friend and her family yet I feel so sad for you all x

One of the saddest things I've read in a long time. Thoughts with you and her family.
Could you get together lots of memories of her that you have and make a memory book for the children? Not now, it's far too raw, but in the future.

I'm so so sorry OP. Its desperately sad and I'm thinking of you and your friend's family. Sending huge love to you all. xx ❤️

Heartbroken for you all, this thread has really stopped me in my tracks. She sounds brilliant. A huge loss, those poor children. You sound like a great friend.

I’m so very sorry -made me cry - It made me remember mid July many years ago meeting a headmaster at a school my son was about to join in year 1 - get there 1st day of school in September only to find he had passed away the week before -early 60s - this too was leukaemia - 5 weeks post diagnosis. life can turn on a sixpence very sadly - you will always have lovely memories of your lovely friend and she will be forever young. Do something nice this day every year in memory of her -

So terribly sorry for your loss, OP. Your lovely friend’s sad story reminded me immediately of my own friend who died 25 years ago leaving two little ones aged 12 weeks and 2.5 years. Such devastation. Her DH married again and the girls were mothered well by their DSM, but the DH always loved me spending time chatting to the girls about their own mum, how much they reminded me of her in looks and little personality traits over the years. My heart goes out to you now in your grief and loss, I remember it well 🤗

Heartbreaking so cruel 💔

Just dropping back into this thread OP to say I think of you all often. I hope that everyone is doing as well as they could possibly be expected to do, and that all who need it have support x
