Becky, I don’t know you personally except thro crafting,(and a sister in the gospel) and learned of Jonathan thru Lisa B’s blog. I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my mother to kidney cancer, my sister to breast cancer and my only other sister has ovarian cancer so I can emphazize. It is such a nasty thing. My son lives in Maryland (close to Frederick) and has been a Stake Pres. and is now a Bishop so maybe he knew your brother. God Bless you and I will continue to follow you thru crafts.

Becky, my heart breaks for you and your family. I am praying that God’s comfort and peace surround each of you during this very difficult time. I lost my only brother in 2006 and it was the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life. Had it not been for God I don’t think I could have made it. All the special memories that you have with Jonathan will warm your heart always! May God touch him and surround him with his love and comfort. God bless you all!

You don’t know me, but sharing your brother’s fight is a brave and inspiring thing to do. I just want to say that my heart breaks for your family. It is so difficult to watch a loved one go through this fight against cancer as I have been there in my own family as well as close friends families. The feeling of helplessness can be overwhelming at times. Please know I will keep your betrothed and your family in my prayers.

I read your post sitting across the table from my father who is slowly losing his battle against secondary tumors in his lungs. Hearing his body-wracking cough breaks my heart, but I want to share as much time with him as possible while I still can. We celebrated his 66th birthday the day before yesterday. I’m so grateful we had that many years with him, and so sad we won’t be having more. Being agnostic, I can’t say I’ll be praying for Jonathan and his family, but my thoughts certainly are with you and with all the people affected by this awful disease.

First and foremost, I’m profoundly sorry to hear of the news. As a young widow following the loss of a spouse to brain cancer, the familiarity of your story and the anguish of all involved, just breaks my heart. There are no words to convene that will absolve what is “now”, and what’s ahead, but I still thought it important to share with a wonderful, charitable community that has been there for me since the very beginning; Soaring Spirits Loss Foundation is devoted to helping those undergoing loss and grief, especially “young widows”. I know that right now might not necessarily be the time to share this with you, but it’s a valuable resource for connecting with others facing similar grief experiences, and the struggles of widowhood. You’d mentioned your SIL, and immediately, I felt it necessary to to tell you about Soaring Spirits. They’re the epicenter of the widowhood community, and they’ve affiliations with numerous non-profits dedicated to bringing a voice, and support system to loss. Here is there website: http://www.sslf.org/

The Jonathan in my life was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in June 2011. He did not share his struggle outside the immediate family. I pray that community and family will carry you through this difficult time. Jon’s struggle ended August 22, 2011. He is with us in so many ways. He was with his brother in his surprising run as the interim head coach of the Arizona Wildcats football team and will surely be standing by Tim’s side at Oklahoma this year. He was with our younger son , Nate in his college soccer head coaching debut season and our older son as he pursued his dream career in basketball video production. He has been with me as I retired from the American Red Cross and traveled to medical missions. Celebrating life on this earth is one of God’s blessings so I pray that you can fully enjoy life with Jonathan now. God’s goodness extends beyond life on earth and Jon touches us daily. As a Buckeye you may be familiar with Pelotonia’s one goal- to end cancer. I pray for that outcome in the future and yet experience joy in spite of our loss to cancer today. Take care.

Becky – Although you don’t know me, I feel like I have known you for a long time, as I have followed and admired your work from your first Handwriting and Sketches books. I was so sorry to read this news about your brother and will continue to pray for you all. Those were lovely photos that you posted – I was especially struck by the one of your mom sitting at your brother’s bedside. It just reminded me that no matter how old your children get, they are still your children and you are still watching over them.

Becky,
I had hoped and prayed when I read your original post regarding your brothers’ cancer that he would beait. I have no doubt that you and your family have and continue to gain strength through God’s grace, yet it still must be so very difficult to see someone you love in pain and fighting in such a way.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time.
Karen

Dear Becky,
I understand how hard this is as I lost my own excellent father to colorectal cancer when I was 17. Has your family heard of the Gerson Therapy. It has wonderful success with many cancers. The Gerson Institute has a clinic in Mexico and a website. I encourage you to investigate, there is hope.
With much respect and admiration,
Anna.
