breast cancer

[CodeBlue_R3]

I recently lost someone due to breast cancer I was wondering if any of you have experienced this or may be living with it. What is your situation?

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. My grandmother died of breast cancer before I was born, and a very good friend of mine lost her mother to breast cancer during our senior year of high school(about two years ago). Needless to say, it was a very tough time for all that were close to her. But on a positive note some of my sisters are raising money to do the Avon Breast Cancer walk. I believe that they've raised a fair amount of money so far. There is hope-keep smiling!

I'm sorry for your loss, CodeBlue. Fortunately, I have never known anyone who has had to battle breast cancer, but have had relatives that passed away from other cancers.

MuAZD, I'm sorry for your loss as well, but I think it's great that your sisters are raising money for the Breast Cancer walk. Keep up the good work.

I too am sorry to hear about your loss. Personally I haven't had to deal with a close loss but I remember when my great aunt died from it. It was the first time I saw my Grandmother cry. Since then I've been very aware about breast cancer. And just this year my mother had a lump and was worried it was cancerous. That alone made me freak out.
Breast cancer is hard to live with and I'm sure after someone passed on from it, it's still hard for the family. My recommendation is finding a group on your campus or within your community. They will often list groups like that in the newspaper. I also recommend donating time to the cause. It may not bring back your loved one, but it will make you feel better knowing you're doing what you can to find a cure.
Best wishes and much sympathy.

I am terribly sorry to hear of your loss. My mother unfortunately passed away from breast cancer when i was 12, 10 years ago (jeeze where does time go???). That healing time for my family was very difficult because we all had to readjust with not having her around anymore...but time does heal all pain! I used to think about my mother and feel really sad, now I think of her and laugh over the fun times we all had together. It is still difficult, of course, because I am envious of all of the women my age who have an adult relationship with their mothers, because I will never have that.

I don't really know of any advice I can give you because everyone grieves in their own way. The only thing I can tell you is that with each year that passes, the pain that you feel becomes more bareable, and the love and the memories for that person never fades.
