so sad

[Mitzi]

My cousin is the only family member I have living here. She found out she had cancer and went into remission 2 times. But, today, she found out it's back with a vengence. The drs say she won't survive this bout. But, she refuses to accept this. She went out and bought a new red PT cruiser. She says she's the only bald woman driving one. lol She laughs and tries to make me laugh through my tears.
She was raised with us when her mother died and she's a wonderful person.

Mitzi,

Sorry to hear the news!

It may be something that is difficult for her to accept. In time she will come to accept the bad news.

You, on the other hand, can be there for support and not remind her of her short time left. Make her laugh and do things with her and cherish the time. This may be the only way she knows to cope with such news and maybe she thinks she will bring you down if she is sad so she may be trying to ignore the pain by being happy.

Be happy for her and with her! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Take care

She is wonderful, really. I try not to show her my tears but they are flowing freely and have been all day. I know God has lessons for us to learn in life. But, with my son sick, two brain surgeries, my husband losing his job, diabetes.....I was barely making it emotionally. And now this. She has so much to live for and she loves life. I want her to be here with me. But I guess God needs more angels.
I am praying so hard for a miracle.

I am with you Mitzi, it is great to hear she has such a wonderful attitude. We are all on God's time clock and he will decide the right time for us to cash in our chips.

" What a wonderful God we have, he is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of every mercy, and the one who so wonderfully comforts and strengthens us in our hardships and trials.
Why does he do this?

So when others are troubled, needing our sympathy and encouragement, we can pass on to them this same help and comfort God has given us. The more we suffer, the more Christ strengthens, and comforts us"

2 Corinthians 1-6

Suffering molds us to want God wants us to be... keep praying and God will deliver.

Good luck

[Mitzi]

Thanks, everyone, especialy Big Dave. I am still in shock and the tears still flow but not around her. She really is at peace with this. I know her. SHe will be around for several more years because of her positive attitude.
But, when God calls her home, it's going to leave such a void in my life. She's always been there for me and now I must be strong for her.
She teases me that she wil come back to haunt me and make me bald, like she is now. And someday, there will be a feisty red-headed angel yelling in my ear to get on with my life and not cry over her. I pray for a miracle for her. She deserves one.

Thank you, Yenta. It really hasn't hit me yet. SHe looks good, has lost no weight, says she feels fine...she's just bald! What a loss this wil be for me.
But, I like knowing I will have her up there rootin for me. She says she's coming back to haunt me. SHe has the most wonderful sense of humor.
