Farewell I

I wrote about I, an ovarian cancer patient, sometime in June. She has since passed away on 19 July, Sunday.

That's the third cancer patient, whom I know, to pass on in a week.

The three of them are all below the age of 60. And, as far as I know, they have been fighting cancer to the very end. LY died in a hospice and J died in a hospital.

At least, for them, the fights and sufferings are over. For them, death brings relief. But for their loved ones, death brings mixed feelings - relief that the cancer-stricken member is suffering no more, relief that they can get on with their lives again but at the same time, there could be guilt and a sense of loss.
