I’ve never commented on here before but have followed. I found NNL a couple of years back as my sister was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in 2020 (no signs of symptoms but was already in her liver and lungs before it was found) we then lost her in august 2021.
During this time I looked for comfort, hope, support by follwing other secondary breast cancer patients and I did find NNL a breath of fresh air…but overtime my feelings have changed.
During my sisters last few months, once covid restrictions had eased all she wanted was us around her. I have cosy , warm memories of her during this time. She wanted US to have the memories as much as her . Her last weeks were hard but until the end family was most important . It was her husbands 50th birthday two days after she died but she begged us all to have the family bbq we’d had arranged during her final days and so we did in her honour even though we were in bits. Throughout the day, things were delivered to him from her, that she’d arranged despite being so poorlyMakes me cry writing this as I think about it. But tears of love for how much she thought about us too and the memories she left behind.
I feel for NNL family as her memories are all about the ones she’s making for herself. Her needs and wishes. What a legacy.
