Hello Everyone, this is Libby's husband, Jerit (JR). I am unbelievably saddened to report that Libby passed away yesterday. She was peaceful when she went, and her family was with her during her time in hospital.
I wanted to share the exciting news that Libby’s story was printed in the National Post (Canada) today, August 16.
It previously was printed in the Calgary Herald and Calgary Sun and was an absolutely beautiful article.
Thank you to

Hello, for anyone local to Calgary/Edmonton, Libby will be featured in an article in the July the 26th Calgary Herald, Edmonton Herald, and the Calgary sun, and Edmonton Sun 😀
Written by Libby Joan Wilson for her daughter before her passing, this heartfelt book helps children embrace a stepmother without losing love for the mother they’ve lost. All proceeds go to breast cancer research

Hello,
I just wanted to let everyone know that Libby's book is now available on Amazon and Kindle. We also have some remaining hard copy versions of the book available on eBay (let me know if anyone is interested in the hard copy version and I'll send you the eBay link).
I recently donated several of Libby's book to a hospice social worker. I have also donated copies to the Breast Cancer Supportive Care Center in my city and I will continue to look for places to donate Libby's book (I'm open to ideas if anyone can think of a place that would benefit from Libby's book and would accept a copy as a donation). Libby hoped that her words may offer some comfort to her own daughter as well as to anyone else struggling with illness or death.
In alignment with Libby's wishes, any profit from Libby's book will be donated to a charity my family supports such as @densebreastscdn
Thanks, as always, to Libby's family on Twitter (now X) for providing Libby with such a kind community in the last years of her life. Your support for her was no small thing and helped carry her through some of her hardest days ❤️For that, I will always be grateful
- Libby's sister Kim

Libby's story was chosen to be featured by the Lives Lived Project. A shorter version of this article will also run in the Calgary Herald in the coming weeks. Here is a link to the online version of Libby's article.
"Libby’s life, though too short, was a testament to the power of love, resilience and the importance of living each day to the fullest."
Thank you Twitter for remembering Libby today 🩵🩵🩵
Libby died 1 year ago on August 31, 2023 from breast cancer.
Here is a picture of Violet visiting her mother at the cemetery today. No child should ever have to visit her mother at the cemetery (that's something for you to think about @cantaskforce next time you make one of your infographics)

"Libby told me living with cancer was like dying a million tiny deaths and grieving for each thing that cancer cruelly took away. She grieved for the loss of her hair, fertility, mobility, hopes, future, and eventually her present." @LibbyMbc Thank u Kim https://t.co/AMivvJBdMA
Visiting my sister is a bit different these days. Now I have to go to the graveyard to see her. Libby Wilson died at age 39 from breast cancer. Every life lost to breast cancer matters. Lower the screening age to 40.
@cantaskforce @markhollandlib
We continue to have guidelines in Canada that do not reflect modern science and do not prioritize the lives of Canadians. @cantaskforce has failed us and needs to be disbanded. @markhollandlib please take action now to save lives.
Hi Libby's twitter community,
