Honor those who have passed.
Thank you to everyone on these forums for the wisdom and knowledge they imparted. My wife, Julie, was diagnosed stage IV at 55 and with treatments got 5 years of life. It was a roller coaster at times; but witnessing the real-life experiences here helped us to navigate the side effects and medical choices. I did write up…
I never expected to be on this part of the forum. When my mom was first diagnosed in September of last year this website was the first I turned to. It gave me so much hope and optimism, that reading all the stories have me enough courage to tell my mom who used these stories to uplift her own spirits. My mother passed away…
My mom died on Friday. I miss her so much. If you knew her and have anything to share about her please do so. I am craving learning more about her. She had BC for 17 years, the last 7 years with mets. She was tough as nails and fought with treatments until literally the last 10 days of her life. It's so surreal right now.…
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Kay Ms. Kay developed the idea for the 9/11 Portraits in Grief columns for The New York Times. As a native New Yorker, and one who knew too many who lost their lives on that horrible day, I have found comfort in the portraits. Knowing that those lives lost will always be…

I did not know Ebru, but I when I read of her passing in Nov 2017, I felt like someone punch me in my gut, I cry many times. I miss her posts, I think about her every time I visit BCO. Her beautiful thoughts, her generosity in sharing and helping others, her sheer positive spirit soared amongst us all, and continues to do…
I'm starting this thread so we have a chance to express our condolences for those noted on the Memoriam thread, without having to clutter up that sacred space. (If not appropriate mods please delete.
It has been almost 10 months since my brother's passing. Not a day goes by where he isn't thought of with bittersweet tears or a fleeting laugh about something he once said. The holidays have been especially hard on my mom. Neither of us put up any Christmas decorations this year, except for a small tree by his picture. My…
This is weird for me, I barely talk to my family or friends about stuff that is on my mind, but somehow decided that maybe finding a site where people are going through the same thing might be more comforting. I am a 21 senior in college hopefully going to graduate in May. On February 3, 2011 I lost my mom (and only true…
