That makes her wonderfully heroic.

Well said... and she even took a family trip to Disneyland a couple of months ago. She's being really tough for those kids.

The news is worse, so be prepared to cry if you click on that link. That poor family.

I lost a dear friend a few years ago to something similar, so I wasn't completely surprised to read Elden's post.

I'm afraid there are even harder times ahead.

I hadn't read his blog for a while, that is so sad. My friend found out last week she has breast cancer (age 40), I'm scared to death for her.

Like most people, I really got in touch around age 50 with the fact that one day I will be no more, and now in my late 60s that day is much closer. Unlike most people I'm not even pseudoreligious, so I have no expectation that there'll be any Me left after my body dies. I think it's saddening when someone like Susan dies at a younger age than most, and especially when everyone has to suffer in anticipation, but compared to Time itself, none of our lives last longer than the flicker of a candle flame. I won't say that's comforting, exactly, but it does feel as tho it at least puts our mortality into perspective. For me, anyway.
