For my family... We recently experienced a close loss of my dear uncle who was 59, who passed of Heart failure. Then just days later we were hit with news of a dear cousin in her early 50s, who was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer (non smoker):(. Finally we just received news that a Great uncle passed of natural causes he was in his late 80s. My family is suffering with such a Loss at this time... Prayers for my family who is mourning the loss of these members and prayers that my cousin beats and survives this disease! Thank you.:angel:
 
Aw Heather...that was my life 3 years ago at almost this exact time. We lost my dad 1/22, my aunt went into the hospital from the funeral and never made it. She lasted a few weeks. Then my mom's cousin died, my aunt's mother...the list went on to total 6 in a few months.I pray that you guys support each other, stay strong, take time to grieve, and remember, this too shall pass.The passing of generations is hard, especially so young. I hope you guys can find some joy in your sorrow...I'll be praying!

My the Lord ease your losses and support your cousin during her treatments.
 
Oh Heather - I'm so sorry for your losses. Praying for your cousin to have the strength to fight this cancer head on and win!
 
I echo all the others and their prayers. It is so hard to lose loved ones in "multiples" like that.
 
Thinking of you Heather and know the pain you are feeling right now.
