but I need to get it out of my system:
Dear Cancer: Fuck you. You heard me. FUCK YOU. FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK YOU. How dare you. She was my friend for over 20 years. She was doing better. She just lost her mom to you Cancer five fucking months ago, and then you go and take her too. She was about to get married. And wanted to have kids. And you got us all gathered at the hospital, had a doc say she's doing better, go have lunch while she's on dialysis, and then fucking trapped us all in a fucking stuck elevator so that when her heart stopped she was ALL ALONE. She put up a hell of a fight for TWO YEARS - never stopped fighting you. And now tomorrow, I am going to have to watch her be lowered into the ground and then help shovel dirt on her coffin. Fuck you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your memories of her and your beliefs, whatever they may be, bring you some comfort during this time. I am an atheist and my grandfather died from cancer in hospice four years ago, he was in hospice for the longest ten days of my life. Somene was with him 24/7 except for his last twenty minutes, he died while the 11 of us that had been sitting with him decided to sit down together for a meal at the hospice. It was the the first time we had all bern together since he went to hospice. He took his last breath as we all walked oback into his room. I think that evenin deathvhe had some measure of awareness that allowed him to choose him time. You were there for her and I firmly believe she knew it, dont let yourself feel guilty you werent there the exact moment she died, she knew if it was up to you, you would have been.
A friend from high school passed yesterday from brain cancer. She was 33. Another friend...my sister's best friend passed 3 years ago at 26 from colon cancer. My grandfather passed 11 years ago in October from cancer. I feel you!
