My sister called me this morning with sad news.

While we were on our cruise, her husband's 74 year old aunt was discovered to have stage 4 inoperable colon cancer (she had been in remission for 20 years). She began chemo, but it was so difficult for her she decided not to continue with it. Yesterday she suffered more complications, and her doctor instructed the family to gather at 6am this morning. She was given drugs to keep her heart rate up so she could say goodbye, and was removed from the drugs at 2pm this afternoon.

Her passing was expected after several hours, but her heart rate remains up, and though she is ready to go into her eternal rest, she's not having an easy time of it.

There is no chance for recovery, so all I ask is for prayers to assist her in going Home without suffering.

Glo - may your brother-in-law's Aunt be comfortable in the time she has left, and pass in peace. May her family be comforted.

I lost my Dad to colon cancer that had metastacized.

Maura passed this morning at 3am. She was surrounded by those who love her more then can be imagined, and that is a joyous thing.

I am here after the fact, but I still want to express my sympathy. Allowing Maura to go on her own terms was the greatest gift her family could give her. I have made it very clear to my family what my wishes are in a similar situation. Sending good thoughts to all of you.
