Wow what a day. I went to a friends funeral today and it was only my second ever funeral but this one meant a little more than the first and it really got me.
I actually got really light headed and started sweating profusely whilst we were outside so discreetly my husband got me back to the car where i just had to lay down. He rescued me with a muffin and a can of coke so i am a little unsure wether its my blood pressure or just the reality of how close i could of come to my own death but it was horrible.
Luckily i was able to pull my shit together and make it into the service. I am really glad that i did.
So another great amazing beautiful woman has been taken from my life due to cancer and as much as it hurts that they are gone i know that they are no longer in any pain.
I hate you cancer.

Me too
I hate you cancer too!
I'm so sorry about your friend Danielle. Sometimes the whole no more pain thing is no consolation for the no more life one - is it?
I think funerals are so much more confronting when you have so closely faced your own mortality. Take care.

Hugs to you, Danielle -- sounds like you had a tough day. I'm glad you made it into the service to be with your friends, too.

Hi Amanda,
I totally agree that the no more pain thing is no consolidation for no more life. It is the only positive that can be found i guess in some ones passing from anything. Cancer is crap i wish it would go away!!!
Hi lovely ones
Sorry for your loss Danielle. It is really hard to lose someone close to the same diseas that you are battling with. However, I am sure you have picked yourself up, dusted off and have now got back to IT (Living the best life possible that your friend would have wished for you) XLeonie
