On May 26, 2012 I lost one of my dearest friends, Diana, to cancer.  I am reminded that there are other survivors of cancer…those who are left behind when someone close to you dies.   We are left with the loss of someone we love which comes with a multitude of feelings.  For those of us who have had cancer, fear can emerge.  The fear that cancer recurred for someone close to us can bring up thoughts and worries that it can also happen to us.

It is important to remember to be in the present.  To mourn those who are no longer with us.   To be grateful for each day.

This is dedicated to all of us who have lost people we love to cancer.
