I posted approximately 6 weeks ago that my sister (by choice) had been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer that had spread to liver and lungs. Mom died approximately 4 years ago from the same dreadful disease. I got a text tonight that she was sent home from the hospital on hospice and they don't expect her to live more than 48 hours. I am a hot freaking mess. I knew this was going to come. I knew it would more than likely be quick, but not this quick. I just can't. Its like the last straw. COVID being what it is, despite the fact I am considered her sister in all circles, I won't be able to go for any services. I Think that hurts the most. I want to hug my family dammit. I thought nothing could top the absolute devastation that 2012 brought me, but man 2020 is sure pushing the damn limits.
**12/4** She passed away early this morning at home surrounded by her husband, children, father and brother. It is so hard to understand this sometimes. She was so amazing and so full of life. I already was taking a half day off work today so its gonna be one of those days where I work for a bit then do something else. one of the perks of my job is it is very flexible. Im going to need it for sure today.

Oh no. Your poor thing. It’s hard enough to lose a sister, but so much worse to not be able to share your grief in person with your family. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Ugh. I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's terrible that you won't be able to be there with your sister physically, but I hope you'll be able to create some peaceful moments in the next few days to bring up some happy memories of her.

I'm so sorry. Pancreatic cancer is a truly awful disease. Are you able to facetime with her at all?

Oh no, that's awful! I just can't fathom the devastation of being told you only have about 48 more hours, and loved ones being told that. Just heartbreaking. I'm so sorry.

Pancreatic cancer is a b***h--we lost BIL to it about 18 months ago.
I'm so sorry about your sister. ((hugs))

I am so sorry. I wish I had something else clever and comforting to say but this year has been horse shit and it just keeps giving
I hope you find peace. My her memory give you comfort.

I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. My mother died of that horrible disease too. The impending loss is just so much worse near the holidays, and the inability of being able to be with loved ones during COVID is so devastating. Sending you some healing energy and just know we are here for you.

I am so sorry. My mom passed of that as well. I often want to rant at that disease as it is so deadly because it's discovered so late, yet years ago a 15yo boy found a way to diagnose early that only costs pennies and our system is holding up that research. I am so very sorry you're going through this. It simply and totally sucks. Not to be able to hold someone is just the worst. |
