One of the rubbish days as an LP

[Lonecatwithkitten]

I had very sad news that a friend from Uni who I was very close to sadly passed away after a long fight against bowel cancer.
This is someone DD never knew (ExH made it very difficult for me to see my friends when we were married, but that's another story) so I feel that letting her see my grief would be wrong.
I have no one else to speak to talk about this beautiful, funny girl who loved ER, Friends, Glee, Take That and Bon Jovi.
I am angry that she has been snatched from us so young she turned 40 a few weeks ago. Even more angry that at 21 she requested the bowel resection for her Crohns Disease that would have prevented her from developing bowel cancer as she was too young to understand what she was asking for. Then at 36 after 15 years of terrible symptoms of Crohns they did the resection and found the cancer.
So proud that she fought the evilness so hard every step if the way with good grace and good humour and always a smile.
Thank you for reading you are the only ones out there.
Bless you Angel I am so lucky you touched my life I hope heaven is pink with loads of repeats of your favourite shows and lots of fab shoes.

Sorry for your loss lonecat. She sounds like a wonderful friend and I'm sure she valued your friendship. Share more if it helps.

Really sorry for your loss, lonecat. She sounds lovely.

Really sorry for your loss.xx

I am so sorry for your loss. I don't think it would be wrong for your dd to see your grief though (I have no idea how old she is so I could be wrong)

Thank you everyone. It is hard to imagine that she is gone. We all kept in contact with her through Facebook through her many and long hospital stays. Now her page is filled with beautiful photos and tributes to a really special person.
My DD is 9 - ordinarily yes I wouldn't have a problem with her seeing my grief, but her little life is so complicated at the moment particularly with me having to have a breast lump removed in a few weeks that I think this could be too much. I don't want to have even an inkling at the moment there is even the slightest risk that I might be embarking on a similar journey.
The evilness is just catching too many of us - 99 in my Uni year group two already taken by it.

Sorry for your loss xx
