Just got one of those dreaded phone calls to tell me that someone has died. This person was my husband's cousin; she was 40 and left a 10-year old daughter. She was taken by the most unforgiving disease of them all - Cancer.
"It's just that Cancer is such a total bastard. It is not like other diseases. It doesn't obey the doctorly rules. It cheats." Robert McLiam Wilson's "Ripley Bogle" p.134.
McLiam Wilson's character talks of the inequities of this disease and how it likes to play and toy with people and the victims are just playthings.
It will be unbelievably hard for a mother to survive a child and for a child to be without a mother. Life goes on but not in the same way for these folks.
