Hi Fran, Good on you for doing the Eulogy.  I spoke as part of the Eulogy of my friend as well.  I think it is a very good healing process.  I am also doing a photo board for her family of all the funny times we spent together.  My friend and I first met at a Queensland Cancer Council get-to-gether when we were first diagnosed back in 2006.  We became very close:  establishing the dragonboat club, actively participating in the local Cancer Support Group, both trained as BCNA Community Liasons, loads of fundraising and guest speaking gigs together, out there in the media, travelling to BCNA forums across the State, attending many BCNA Summits and Conferences together and also representing others and bringing back information from Queensland Cancer Council workshops.  We had a lot of fun inbetween our bc challenges.  We found each other through bc however we had a very dense friendship in the 7 years of friendship.  I now find comfort in having a long distance friendship with my friend's only sister who lives across the other side of Australia.

Reading your post bought tears to my eyes, loosing your friend must have been so hard, I can't imagine my life without my bestie.

It was good that you managed the time out, the trip away and the chance to regroup yourself.

Take care and keep moving forward

Sending hugs

Donna

Hi Leonie , good to keep catching up. here and on fb, yeah it is so hard to except when some when close dies i guess we both know hey. and i still have good and bad days, being with her most days to the end in the last two months of her life was physically and mentally emotionally draining, and i ended in a heap. we were friends for a long long time even though we had our disagreement s were always there in times of need . i did her ulogy about our friendship and that was hard too , but i am glad i did. i miss her awfully, but every butterfly i see i think of her and we had so many funny butterfly incedents on our holiday, I HOPE YOU ARE ALSO COPING BETTER. x For a while i felt so guilty that i was here and she wasnt but she told me she was so glad i was doing okay and that i was to do everything twice now. so I am trying to , and i am taking her strength on board to keep up the fight . cancer sucks and is taking to many wonderful people . iam stopping now otherwise will blubber again ha ha . xxx fran
