I am beyond sad -- there are no words right now

This is the OP. Thanks, everyone for the words of support at this difficult time. My sister is almost gone. She hasn't had food or water for days and it is clear that she is in the process of crossing over from life to death. When I saw her yesterday it almost broke my heart. She looked so frail and could barely speak. All she could say was "thank you." I don't know what she was thanking me for, but I'd like to think it was her way of showing caring towards me. I cannot believe this is happening -- she is so young. This is so unfair, and so difficult to witness.

I am so sorry OP. This kind of end is such a hard thing to witness. My thoughts are with you, your sister, and the rest of your family.

I am so so sorry for you OP. The same thing happened to my sister. She was 40.

Cancer doesn't care. I hate it. You are a good sister.

I'm so sorry, OP. I'm glad that you have been able to be there for your sister and that she knows that you are there. I'm so sorry that you are losing her way too soon. Cancer is no fair - I hate it!

Hugs, OP. It's nice that she was able to thank you.

I'm so sorry OP. I hope that your sister's journey is being well-managed and she is pain free.

It is good that she can communicate with you a bit, but know that even if/when that is no longer possible your presence will still matter. I have been at the bedside of a couple of dying people and know that even when so much is lost, the presence of love is still felt.

I will keep you and your sister in my thoughts.

CANCER SUCKS. More than just about anything.

You and your family are in my thoughts, take care of yourself and each other.

I know what this looks like, OP, and it is excruciating. Your sister knows you are there, and by doing so you are doing everything you can for her. Wishing you strength and comfort as you face this difficult time.

PP here. Want to add that I agree with this well-said post. Even when they are past consciousness, they absolutely know you are there. Absolutely.

Cancer sucks! so sorry for you and your family! you have been a wonderful sister and being by her side must be providing her much needed comfort and lasting love. We too just found out a close family member has a very rare form of cancer. We are getting ready to start treatment but it is already in stage three. Stay strong and have faith! Big hugs for you my friend.
