Cancer SUCKS!
My coworker Terry passed away today. She has been sick since September but just received a cancer diagnosis 24 days ago.
24 days! WTF??
I'm sad. I'm sad for her family and her friends. I knew Terry well, but wasn't incredibly close to her - so the affect her death has on me isn't quite as severe as other co-workers.
She was so young. She left behind a daughter in her twenties.
I just can't believe she is gone so quick. She was given a 6 month prognosis. She went into hospice last weekend for pain management. The plan was to give her 24hr care to get her on the right meds for pain, and then release her. I had a feeling when she went into hospice, that she would not go back home. But I am in utter shock that this happened so quickly.
I am a strong believer that when someone is dying - they get to choose their time. I believe the psyche has much control over this kind of thing. So, I'm sure Terry was just so tired of hanging on and dealing with the pain. I just hope she had a chance to say what she wanted to say to her family before she died.
Peace to Terry and her family. XXOOXXOOXXOO
