Beautiful. It must take a lot of strength to face death so calmly and practically. I would be totally lost!
everybody wants the best for their children, but to have dealt with the knowledge of he own death so calmly and do what she did for her family is great.
Beautiful and very sad. She is a very thoughtful, caring, empathetic, loving, intelligent and courageous person to be able to act so calm and rational about her own death, even more so by teaching her husband how to cope and deal with their children after her passing! Truely she is a remarkable woman.
I'm surprised that the husband never learned how to turn on a dishwasher until his wife was dying. You'd think he would've been involved in his children's lives enough to know some things. Although maybe the article doesn't mention the things he did know how to do for the family, like pay taxes or cook dinner.
Wow, 29 is just way too young to die from cancer. I can't really find the words to describe how I feel.
That's so sweet! Kinda odd that he didn't even know how to turn on the dishwasher though. LOL Maybe he had a high stress, long hour job. I wonder how their kids are taking her death? At least she's there with them through spirit and through the notes she left.
embarrassing, full on welled up reading that, mainly the bit about her leaving birthday cards for them each year :'( that would reduce me to absolute rubble if that was my mum
I think it is awsome she thought to write notes for her, so he could read them after she died. Sad story, but also touching.
aww thats really nice 29 is very young to die and if it was me i would probally go some what off the rails but she seemed to handle it in a very dignified way
;_; Wow.. Yes, she died very young, but at least they had time to prepare. In my case when Dad died it was just sudden and now three months later we're still trying to cover what he did and learn how to do it all. Beautiful but sad that story was.
that is just... breath-takingly thoughtful! she actually knew exactly what she wanted, there are so many people out there who have no clue how they want to raise their kids.
That is just terrible.....I mean it must of taken a lot of strength to do all of that planning but still....its just awful.....
That was sad. She was too young. But the idea of planning her absence may have been the most selfless and loving thing she could have done for her family. That was sad, but a beatiful story.
This reminds me of the professor at Carnegie-Mellon who wrote his "Final Lecture", but it was actually his final lecture because he was dying of cancer. God, I'd run around like a chicken with his head cut-off if I found out I only had a short time to live...
