I've read that bone cancer is extremely painful. What an insidious disease. My deepest sympathy.

My heart goes out to you.

My sister also died of cancer. She never found peace, before she died. That haunts me, still.

For your Pain and loss. Go with my thoughts and prayers that you be comforted.

You are in my heart.

Jane was a great friend to me, I'm so sorry she's gone, but glad her suffering is at an end. Sending love and light to you and your family.

Cancer sucks.

We're here for you

May she fly high. Big hugs. I lost a sister a year ago to cancer. She was 61.

Sending vibes your way.

#FUCKCANCER

As a breast cancer survivor, I will always wonder why I am still around and others are not.

Cancer sucks. Pain sucks. Doctors and their meds ... to be gracious, are not always effective. They ban pain meds for side effects, then give us meds that kill 150,000 Americans. Pain is a personal battle, and it's good to know all of Pharma is on our side.

Cherish the siblings moments. They are like no other.

I'm from a very small family with only one brother alive. Can't imagine how you must feel.

I can't imagine losing a twin though. I'm glad she's no longer in pain.

While I am not a twin, in my mid 30s I learned that I have half sisters who are twins. Their love for each other and closeness is something very special.

I'm so glad that she's released from her pain. Sisters are the best. Cannot imagine losing a twin.

Take care of yourself as best you can. Write when you need to.

Your DU family is here.

I am so very sorry for your loss.

experience, a few good years and then the cancer metastasized….it was a relief when she was no longer in pain. I wish you peace and continued strength. #FUCKCANCER

A friend who was virtually a sister to me died of that in 1987. The level of pain that she endured was beyond .belief. That was clear to all.

Fuck cancer.

I can't say it gets easier because I don't know if that's true or not yet.

My sister was sudden, and your sister was expected but that changes nothing. Someone special in our lives is no more.

I am truly sorry for your loss.


I agree - Fuck Cancer.

Deepest sympathy babylonsister

My deepest condolences to you and her husband, and may you both find peace on the other side of this pain.

I'm so sorry for you, babylonsister. My heart holds you.

Words aren't enough to convey how very sorry I am.
Holding you, Jane and all your loved ones in my thoughts.

And relieved for her passing. Some things are worse than death.

The night my mom found out she had untreatable lung cancer, she died of a heart attack. We would have liked more time with her, of course, but not at the cost.

Fuck cancer.

I'm definitely with you: #FUCKCANCER

You will both be in my thoughts and I hope the happier memories of earlier times will soon take over your own thoughts.

and her love and spirit remain with you.

tragic last months. Heartbreaking.

loved your sister Jane. May every good memory of times together comfort you .

I'm glad she is finally at peace. Wishing you much strength at this heartbreaking time.

I hope you are finding some comfort that her suffering is over. Peace to you, your family and her family.

It is so hard when we lose loved ones, especially to cancer. Please take care of you as you grieve the loss of your sister. There are many of us who support you in any wat we can.

I always wished for a sibling. I will never have the pain of losing a sister, but I envy you the joy and love you shared with yours and will continue to share until you cross to join her. ❤️

May you find peace some day.

her, be at peace. Your DU family is here for you.

Im so sorry for your loss.

i’m sorry for your loss. i lost my next older sister 5 yrs ago. we were pretty much twins born apart.
she spent her last decade in a nursing home w ms. like your sister, her passing was a relief.
miss her a ton, tho.

I read your posts always and enjoy them. Thank you for your presence here and your opinions on events of the day. You are a gift.
Take care of yourself.

Thank god the pain is gone.

May her memory be a blessing.


Much love to you and all your family and those who loved her.

your loss. My mother is a twin and understand the connection between twins.

May your sister travel with you. I find my sister in the colorful light the crystal hanging in the window shares. She makes me smile every time. Your sis will show up. My heart goes out to her for the pain she went through. Love to you. 💗💗💐🙏

Neck and back pain can be excruciating. She must have had a terrible time. Rest in peace.

in the worst way, in a lot of pain and agony.

It was during Covid and she wouldn't see a doctor.

I hate Covid and Trump in the worst possible way

Hugs to you.

Fuck cancer indeed.

Most of us at a certain age have lost family or loved ones to Cancer. Losing a twin has to be even harder if that is even possible.

Glad she is out of pain now though.

Hugs

Losing a sibling is always hard, but a twin is so much harder.

You have lost part of yourself, and my god, it hurts!

My deepest condolences, now and always.

missing a loved sibling is a process to go through. May she have and you find peace

It’s in her breasts, lymph nodes, eyeball and bones. She went strict vegan 10 years ago after her first breast was removed and refused all but minimal radiation and has lived another 10 years.
She was given just a few months to live in 2016 and so we are amazed she has managed to stay with us this long. She was moved to hospice (Canada) months ago after she feel and broke a femur but is up with a walker and back home now. She is one tough bird.

I feel your pain and share it with you. I know it’s coming but hard to get my head around it.
I know you will miss her terribly. Consider yourself hugged. 💗

I've known a twin who lost their twin in adulthood. It is a deep grief, because the twin bond is much more than a sibling bond, it really is. It's ok to acknowledge that this deeply affecting you because you two were closer than siblings, actually closer in a different way than a spouse or partner. Please take care of yourself and support her husband as well. Sending good vibes, all that I can...

and I do understand your feeling thankful her pain is over.

My heart goes out to you and yours.

and glad for her relief.

Blessings!

I've had two people I loved die of bone cancer, and, yeah, #FUCKCANCER!

There are no words. Sending you healing hugs

Yes, fuck cancer. I lost a good friend a few weeks ago to it. Think if we redirected some of our military budget to finding a cure, or even a way to diagnose it before it's already stage 4. My friend was stage 4 by the time she was diagnosed.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Sounds like your sister was a real fighter.

it would be to lose a twin sister. Condolences to you and Jane's husband and all her loved ones.

I am glad your twin sister died in her sleep, but the loss you must feel would be gutting. I am so sorry.

Peace, strength and healing to you and your family.

May her memory be a blessing. She will always be in your heart.

I recently lost my dad and I think about him every day.

You're in our thoughts.

My dad had similar experience originating from liver cancer. I found comfort in him saying he had a wonderful life and preferred quality over quantity and was ready to go and then no longer in pain. I can’t fully imagine the bond among twins though I’ve watched documentaries about it.

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Wishing you a blanket of treasured memories, and extended periods of strength and peace in your heart.

((dear babylonsister))

🌺 Jane 🌺

I have identical twin granddaughters that are 20 now. We raised them since they were home from the hospital. They are so close. I cannot imagine the sorrow you must feel. May you be comforted by your happy memories of her and your knowledge that your friends here at DU send you warm and caring thoughts.

I can't imagine the pain you are feeling. If it helps, know that we are keeping you in our hearts.

Go out to you. Iisalways hard to lose ones we, love and hold loose. . Take care and deepregards to your sister’s husband. Take care.

Holding you in my heart today, and will light a candle for your sister.

words fail. Look for the signs.

May sweet memories of your beloved sister bring you comfort and peace.

Peace and aloha to her. I am sorry.

My sister means the world to me.

I can't imagine what it would be like to lose her.
I'm glad she is no longer in pain

My deepest condolences and empathy. I lost my sister last year. She loved DU. Also cancer.

So very sorry for your loss. I lost my sister several years ago and while that pain and that hole in your life doesn't really go away remembering all those great years we did have still brings a smile to my face and makes it bearable.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my brother to melanoma. He was just 52yo. They told us when cancer makes it to the bone marrow it's just the worst. I'm just so sorry... but glad she has escaped the pain.

May you find peace in your memories.

such a big loss in your life. Losing a sibling is very hard. She was very lucky to have a husband who would care for her and such a kind and loving sister to be with her and help her.

Many hugs to you when you need them, they are out there waiting for you to call for them.

Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner.
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!
- Henry Scott

Please accept my condolences on your loss.

Her pain and suffering - and fear - are over. That’s OVER. Mercifully, for her. And hopefully a wee bit of comfort for you and those who loved her.

She had a wonderful Sister.

But she’s not suffering anymore. It must be really hard to lose a twin

So many hugs.

for your loss.

I’m so so sorry for your loss. Of course you will miss her forever.

#FUCKCANCER

Here’s a hug, just for you

You made today less lonely for me.

so sorry for you, bablonsister.
My deepest condolences.

Peace and healing to you.

To me, the "gauging of the pain" means a physician should prescribe enough medication to the patient to keep him/her comfortable - the hell with the feds when a person has stage 4 cancer. Who cares if s/he becomes an "addict" for a few weeks at best? Kudos to your BIL, not many (male or female) can/will care for his/her ill spouse/partner.
