@FindYourHarbor Sorry for your loss. Our sweet Lucy died 18 days after diagnosis.

@ClaireCarmalt We were warned year two can be much worse than year one. For the first six weeks of the second year I felt plain old terrible year one grief, that all changed and a deep sadder grief has set in.

RT if you support my constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and kick unlimited dark money out of our elections.

@4myJessBrady @RishiSunak @VictoriaAtkins Good luck. Our daughter died suddenly 18 days after the colorectal cancer diagnosis.

@ClaireCarmalt Same

@jeffstorobinsky We still haven't cancelled our daughter's cell service. One year out, baby steps.

@DrunkScribe Absolutely true. I just had some last week as a throwback treat.

@Simpson616 Our second without our girl. #compassionatefriends

[Cathy Coons @Cathy_Coons]

@ferafestiva23 No. I can't let go of our daughter's. My husband wants to inter them but I can't do it. It has been one year. Don't rush yourself.

[Cathy Coons @Cathy_Coons]

@KushtiBokLady Good luck, highly treatable. Our daughter was diagnosed too late.

[Cathy Coons @Cathy_Coons]

@stomababe Our daughter passed away 18 days after her diagnosis. She would have been so inspired by you. I was so proud of how she accepted the stoma. Her surgery was performed just hours after her diagnosis. Thank you.

@kelsieswrites I get it, I'm pro hanging the stocking and putting evergreens in it. My husband is a hard no.

@fred_guttenberg I was just at the grocery store and BAM, gut punch grief attack. I get those surprise attacks from FB memories. #compassionatefriend

@PackAthletics Love it. I'm in there somewhere. 50 yard line upper level. Go Pack!

[Cathy Coons @Cathy_Coons]

@KushtiBokLady Good luck. Our 33 years old daughter was told she had an infection, a week later a fecal impaction, just take fiber supplements. Less than a week later she noticed blood in the commode, went to the ER and two hours later she was diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer.

[Cathy Coons @Cathy_Coons]

@ClaireCarmalt Our girl passed 12/4/22. I am in the no emotion mode today but I know that gut punch grief will hit at any time.

[Cathy Coons @Cathy_Coons]

@kenzblackwelder Only one thing worse, the daddy's girl going first. #cancersucks

[Cathy Coons @Cathy_Coons]

@carolinenewson 49 weeks without our Lucy.

[Cathy Coons @Cathy_Coons]

@danacarvey When time is right reach out to Compassionate Friends a support group for parents grieving the loss of a child. We find it helpful. Also, Unspeakable Loss is a great book written by a grief counselor who lost her son. #compassionatefriend

@suz_js @TheCancerSutra 1 year ago today our daughter was told she had a fecal impaction. Less than a week later she was sent to the ER because she noticed blood in the commode. Two hours later she was diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer. She passed away 18 days later at 33. A 2 week reality.
