Sad news from a co-worker

[6_Time_Momma]

A year ago, we decided we needed to find a new home for our two dogs. One of the other nurses at work wanted to have her granddaughters see them to see if they would like them. Their mom (Bev's daughter---Bev the nurse I work with) had been battling cancer for her 3rd or 4th time and she wanted the girls to have the dogs to kind of help them cope. Suzi had fought breast cancer, laryngeal cancer, and was now fighting esophageal cancer.

They took the dogs and the girls absolutely fell in love with them. Fast forward to Monday. Suzi has lost her very long fight with cancer. I only met her once, but I so admired her strength and determination. I feel so for Bev....this is the second child she will be burying. And, for Bev's granddaughter's, of course, who are now without a mom at such a young age (I believe they are about 13 and 12).

If you could, say a few prayers for Bev and her granddaughters....Abigayle and Gabrielle. Thanks so much.

Having lost my mom so young I can totally relate! I hope they are surrounded by love and get through this horrible time with great speed. I felt at the height of my grief that I was in a tunnel and just wanted more than anything to get out on the other side. It did help to know I was through hopefully the greatest loss in my life. You can hopefully take solace that your former dogs will undoubtedly be a great help to those girls- a silent confidant is the best kind when you are sad.

My heart breaks for those girls. I hope that they will find comfort and peace. Kids should not have to deal with such awful pain.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Bev and her granddaughters.

That's just heartbreaking. I do my best to count my blessings every day. I hope those little ones can find some peace.

Very sad, Kristy. My prayers are with them, my good thoughts. Sad.

Cancer stinks. I'll say a prayer for your friend and her family.

How sad, prayers being said. I can't imagine losing two children.
