Dina Rabinovitch has died

[hoxtonchick]

Very sad . She wrote a lot in The Guardian about living with breast cancer. Story here.

Oh very sad, yes. I loved reading her writings.

och dear so sad. i used to loved her stuff

I read that last column and knew it was nearly the end

she wrote incredibly well about the stuff people just don't like to talk about.

I don't see the Guardian regularly but I knew of her writing and that she was living with cancer. She is right about those telling death notices

OH how very, very sad. She struggled for so long, desperate to stay alive for the sake of her children. I think her youngest is only six or something.

This is a terrible disease.

Ohhhhhhh - I am so sorry to hear that. I knew it had come back and that she was living on borrowed time - she was on the radio not that long ago about a new drug she was trying (or hoping to try).

Her youngest is quite little too, isn't he?

Very

did she write the article about all the young mothers dying?

it was really very sad

this is her last guardian column

I read her last column and felt so sad - particularly the bit about her son asking when her breast cancer was going to get better. I didn't realise she was this close to the end. So terrible for her family.

How sad- heart-wrenching about the little boy learning to ask for Dad not Mum

What a bravelwoman.

Get out there & live life ladies.

That is so sad. I followed her column and my heart goes out to her family.

Such an evil disease.

i read her column too and am shocked by her death.

I'm so sorry. She wrote so well and was so brave. Her poor family.

Desperately sad - her final column was haunting. How brave of her to be thinking of her children and their loss at the last.

I realised how ill she was from the last column. I admired her courage so much.

What a tredgedy. She was too young. Vile cancer.

Just read that last column, thanks hoxton.

And now I must go and clean up my face. I seem to have flooded it.

Poor, poor woman. To face the reality of your children having to live without you when they are so young is the worst pain I can think of. My heart goes out to her and her family. Rest in Peace lovely lady.

it's so sad, just read her article in today's papers. i lost my mum to breast cancer, though she was in her late sixties.

such an awful disease makes me so sad.

Oh this is devastating, I can't bear to think of her poor 6-year old son growing up without his mum. I always read her columns because they were so funny, insightful and well-written. She was amazing. Her poor family...
