Cancer has taken one of the sweetest, kindest, warmest, most genuine, best people I've ever met. She was the kind of person you love completely the moment you first meet, and adopt as your own.

She was married to my wife's cousin, and his parents called her their daughter and had to be reminded that she'd married their child, and not the other way around. She was like a little sister I never knew I had from the first moment I met her.

She leaves behind three children, and a husband whose grief I can appreciate only in the smallest degree.

She was 39.

I can't imagine raising my 3 young children without their mother. Prayers sent to this family.

That sucks and so young. I'm sorry for your loss. I just found out this week my sister's cancer that started as breast cancer has spread to a lymph node so I hate cancer more than ever.

Very sorry for your loss. Premature deaths do seem to take the best among us sometimes.

Cancer really sucks bad, Sorry for your loss. If Cancer was a dude I'd shoot him in the face.

As a church musician in charge of funerals for our Parish, I see this more often as the years go by.

I am so sorry for your loss. Cancer is a devastating and relentless adversary. It leaves one feeling more helpless than almost anything else.

Lost both parents this year (both under 70) to cancer this year (actually, in the last 6 months). It is the hardest thing on the planet.

Thank you for asking.

They are devastated. Even with the time they and all of us had to prepare mentally. He says the light in his life has gone out, and the whole world seems dimmer. But she was suffering so, the final week, it seems a relief or release at the same time. Conflicting feelings and even shades of guilt for feeling the relief.

He has their boys, and his business, the church, and his parents live in the same town, so I don't think he's going to go off the rails.

The boys, I don't know. I'm pretty sure grandma is going to spend a lot of time with them. But this is a hard thing for young kids.

This. This, so much, and exactly. The anger, the frustration, the devastation, all have an enemy you can't see or touch or fight in any of the ways that we are so familiar with. It leaves many with no constructive outlet, and even feeling guilt for the anger.

Duelist,

I have been there, lost my first wife to cancer in 2003. There is so much conflict between loss and realizing they are not suffering anymore. Feel free to provide my contact info when things settle down a bit. I struggled most a few weeks later. Talking to someone, even a stranger, who has walked that path may be helpful. It would have been for me.

My heart goes out to you and your family- the toll cancer takes on a family during the battle and after the loss can be devastation. My wife is now a 13 year survivor of cancer and she lost both a brother and sister to it... I can't imagine how she copes(ed) with it, as I don't know how I would have dealt with her leaving me (us)...

Well, shit. My condolences.

My dad died from cancer 18 years ago. I wouldn't wish the last few months of his life on my worst enemy.
