Terrible News. I am in shock.

Just found out a dear friend of Dennis and mine just passed away this morning. She had breast cancer and was only 36. I am truly in shock. We had no clue she was even sick again. My heart is breaking. I wish we could have said goodbye.

Dennis had been friends with her since 7th grade. I became her friend right after meeting Dennis. She came to family get together's at his parent's house. We spent New Years 2010, Super Bowl 2010, 4th of July 2011, our wedding, St. Patty's Day 2012 and so many more times with her. She was at our house for a Christmas get-together just 6 weeks ago. She seemed fine. We had no clue that her cancer came back.

I can't stop crying.

Re: Terrible News. I am in shock.

  • Sorry for your loss!  Praying for strength and confort during this difficult time.
  • I'm so sorry for your loss, Tara. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Dennis.
  • Thanks. I am awake and it's 3:15 am. I can't get her off my mind. It's so hard to believe I'll never be able to see her again. She was the type of person that would drop everything to spend time with Dennis and I. We have so many friends whom we never see because they are too busy or can't be bothered to make time for us. Mary was our true friend. And now it doesn't seem fair that she's gone. She was way too young to die. She wasn't married, nor did she get to experience being a mother. I feel guilty that I get to have those things and she will never. 

    On Saturday night we opened up a bottle of wine she gave us for Christmas and just yesterday morning I said to Dennis that he hasn't talked to her in a while. And for some odd reason I said I hope her cancer never comes back. Little did I know that just three hours later we would get the call telling us of her passing.  I wonder what made me say those things. Strange, huh?

    Somehow it seems like it would be easier if we knew she was sick again. If she would have told us, then we would have been able to see her one last time. We are fairly certain she kept it a secret from almost everyone. Or maybe she didn't realize how bad it had become. I pray she didn't suffer and that her passing was painless. 

    The loss of a loved one is hard to deal with. I hope God gives me the strength I need right now.

  • First off, I am so sorry for your loss.

    From my experiences with cancer, people have a great recovery period seem like they have recovered, and take a drastic turn for the worse and pass away a few days later. This very well could have been what happened to her.

    I feel sometimes that we have a stronger connection than we think to people we know and love. I have heard many stories similar to yours about how people will think about someone, only to find out later that they have passed.

    If there is any piece of advice I can give you it is this- I am sure that baby Lily now has her very own guardian angel.
