Good thoughts and prayers

[tulip]

I just received a message that a dear friend who has cancer is "in extremis" in the hospital. That means she's nearing the end. She introduced me and my ex-DH (and we were together for 17 years) and was such an important part of my early adulthood. It will be hard for her DH and her daughter (in her late 20s). I just pray that she's not in pain and that she's in peace.

I to hope she is resting comfortably. I am sure she is. and it sounds like she has her loved one's there to comfort her as well. My prayer's are with her and her family to help give them strength and see them through this.

How is your friend tonight? Have you heard anything?

[tulip]

I fear the worst. The hospital could only tell me "that patient has been discharged." When I asked what that meant, they transferred me to a nurse on her floor and when I asked specifically, all she said is, "that patient is no longer here."

So I've called her husband, but there's no answer. I'm sure there will be a flurry of calls tomorrow. Tonight, I just wish everyone peace.

[Brandi]

Oh I am sorry to hear that! Big Hug to you! ((((tulip))))) I hope you have some closure soon as to what has happend.

I wish I could offer more than just my good thoughts and prayers to you and your friend's family. It was obviously a gift to know her.

Prayers and positive thoughts, Tulip. If indeed it was her time to go earlier today I'm sure that she is now free of pain and the limits of her body. Big hugs to you and her family.

Oh tulip - I'm so sorry. Sometimes not knowing is the most difficult.

I wish both you and your friend peace this evening.

Sending lots of butterflies to you, your friend and her family. No matter what has happened so far, if you can't be by her side, think warmly of all of the wonderful times you've had with her. She'll feel your love, wherever she is.

Hugs,

Tulip,

Often, cancer patients who are quite close to the end are able to go home for the last days. Meaning discharged isn't neccesarily equivalent to deceased. Hope that's the case for your dear friend & her family. Wishing her a peaceful transition to what's next, and warm memories and loving family & friends to comfort her husband & daughter.

Hugs!

Any word yet Tulip? I have been thinking about you today and wanted to ask.

Prayers and good thoughts for you, your friend and her family. That must be very hard for someone so young. I hope for peace for all involved.

I have gone through the death by cancer routine way too many times already. I am sending out good thoughts. Blessings for peace and release from suffering.

Tulip: I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I just recently lost my good friend of 25 yrs to breast cancer. She was allowed to stay home and was with her entire family when she passed away. It was really very peaceful that way, and the hospice people are such angels. I hope that this peace will be for your friend, and I hope that you hear something soon to put your mind at ease. My thoughts and prayers are with you, her and her family.
Jes

Thank you all so much for your messages of support and good thoughts. She is out of the hospital at home, but she is nearing the end of her life. She's a beautiful light and I'm blessed to fall within her luminous sphere.

Take care of yourselves. Thank you again.

Take the moments you cherish and hold on...but always look for new ones in the little things.

Take care...

Oh Tulip......you have made me cry with your sweet words about your friend. I hope people will say the same about me when my time comes.

I found out today that beautiful Margaret died. Here's the message I received. It's in French (my ex is French and we have/had many French friends, one of whom sent the message). I don't feel like translating now. Sophie is Margaret's daughter (28 or so) and Bobby is her husband.

Thanks so much for your thoughts. She's in a peaceful place.

Dear Martine and Alex, Margaret est morte ce soir. John etait la, il me dit qu'elle n'etait plus consciente, et que quelqu'un jouait de la musique pour elle. Sophie est en mauvais etat, .... Elle va avoir besoin de tout le soutien qu'on peut lui offrir. Meme chose pour Bobby bien sur. Je vous tiendrai au courant. Bises. Claire.

Ohh tulip... I'm so sorry!! :(
But she's in a peaceful place now. You have to believe that. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers!

[jesvetmed]

RM is right. Treasure your memories. Hugs to you.

I'm soo sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.
Hugs to you and thoughts and prayers to all friends and family.

Oh Tulip......what can i say?
I am glad she is not in any pain and resting in peace. And thank you for sharing your love for her with us. Losing a dear friend is hard but not so hard if they were in pain and very sick. Where ever she is now, she is not sick anymore.
And that is comfort in itself.
