Prayer/positive energy request

[AGDee]

I do know and understand all that. I just desperately want it to be ok for her. I am angry that this can happen to a young person. I am sad for her and her family. I really wished I had known about all this before I was at the party. I didn't have any time to process the information and put on my happy optimistic face. I spent some time trying to figure out if I'd be able to get hypo home on short notice for a funeral once she's away at school.

I know life isn't fair and I don't expect it to be for me, but it should be way more fair than this for young people.

I talked to G's mom today at a graduation party. I asked her what the oncologist said and she shook her head and started to tear up. I said "We'll talk later?" and she nodded her head and then said "It's not curable at this point. They can't give her anymore of the old chemo and they're giving her something new but we're just hoping it keeps her going long enough that a new drug comes out that will cure her." G did not look good. It is so very sad G's twin sister hadn't told the girls yet. I'll need to let hypo know, but didn't want to tell them during someone's grad party.

So sad. Praying.

G's twin sister told hypo that they have given G "weeks". She is home, presumably on hospice and their older sister posted on G's Facebook that she is home so if anybody wants to visit in the next few days, they should stop by. We are going to stop by there on Sunday. I don't even know what to say to a kid who is dying. I knew what to say to a kid who was fighting.

I wouldn't know what to say either, but it has to be comforting to have people stop by and provide support and companionship. God bless you for being there for her. It's so unfair.

I'm so glad she came on that cruise with us over spring break. She was feeling good then and swam with the dolphins and turned 18 and got two birthday cakes and got to see three countries she wouldn't have seen otherwise. At the same time, sad for her twin and her mom... because they weren't together on her last birthday. Her twin was on a school trip to Spain while we were on the cruise.

My heart is breaking. I'm sending her prayers and love.

Lots and lots of prayers to G and her loved ones.

G passed away this afternoon surrounded by many friends and family members, including hypo. G's twin sister asked the group to hang out with her tonight, so hypo just left. My son, who also liked G a lot and hung out with her, is still on his backpacking trip and has no access to anything. I sent him a text asking him to call his mom before he gets on Facebook. I hope he does that so I can tell him myself. Several of the boys on his trip were close to G also.

I know G is in a better place and is no longer suffering. She was brave until the end of her time on this earth. Her family and friends though... my heart breaks for her family and friends. This is not the typical post senior year summer for any of them, but they have some time to support each other before they head off on their separate ways to colleges all over the country.

Lots of good wishes to G's family and friends. This is terrible.

[AGDLynn]

Sounds like a wonderful young lady and very caring family and friends.

[SWTXBelle]

Such a tragedy. Prayers for all - what a terrible loss.

[Sciencewoman]

I'm so sorry to hear this sad news.

[Tulip86]

Oh my, that is so sad, my thoughts are with you and hypo, I wish you all the best in this difficult time.

I'm so very sorry to hear of this, Dee.
