very sad day at hubby's work......

[carole]

My husband came home with awful news last night, his bosse's wife had died.

Kirsten was only 36 years old and left behind two young children Amy 4 and Mitchell 2, when Kirsten was pregnant with Amy she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and had to have major surgery etc, she was told she could not have any more children, well Hello, along came little Mitchell, unfortunately pregnancy can speed up the cancer and it looks as if this did happen, who know's.

Kirsten worked with my husband and was very well liked, a lovely person, it was Mike's second marriage, and he was older, our age group, so now he is left to raise two little ones by himself, my heart goes out to him, what a dreadful time this must be for him.

Hubby said everyone was stunned at work, and just could not focus on doing anything.

Life really sucks sometimes, I never met kirsten, but I feel so sad such a young life was taken away, to leave your babies would be the hardest thing in the world, please pray for mike and his children, to help ease their pain and give them strength to get through this painful difficult time.

Thanks everyone for listening.

Carole, that is so sad! I feel so sorry for Kirsten's husband and the children. They have to be feeling so lost and have such a huge hole in their hearts.

My thoughts and prayers will be with them, and all who loved Kirsten.

I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IN THE POWER OF PRAYER. I'LL PRAY FOR THIER FAMILY. HOW DEVASTATING...

[catnapper]

Thats hard to hear no matter how young the person. The poor little kids to grow up not having their mom.

[slick]

That's so sad Carole. Please pass on my condolences to the family.

How devastating!! My thoughts and prayers are with the families.

I did a story a couple of years ago about a woman who was diagnosed she had breast cancer, just about the same time she found out she was pregnant. She refused all chemotherapy and radiation until after her baby was born. She died when her son was a year old at the age of 36.

Prayers for Mike, the children and all who love them.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and words, I am certain in some mysterious way Mike will hear them, I just found out Kirsten was even younger than I was told, she was only 33, so unfair, gosh how do you tell a 4 yr old and a 2 yr old you will never see mummy again, my heart just breaks thinking of it all, and how hard this must be for Mike, he has lost the love of his life, and he must be hurting so much, but yet he has to be strong for his babies.

Sometimes I just cannot understand why the good people have to suffer so much, and from what I know Kirsten was a real bubbly,kind caring person, who loved life and all it had to offer, why why why????????

I know Carole - it makes no sense does it? So young - so much to live for! Makes me angry when I think of all the awful people walking this earth.

I'll be keeping Mike and the children in my prayers and thoughts - condolensces coming across the miles.
I just pray he's given the strength to carry on.

Carole, my prayers and deepest sympathy go out to your boss's family and to your boss who must not only bear the burden of raising two young children, but also grieve for his wife. Again, my prayers go out to hem.

Oh no. How very sad for this man and his two children. So sad to lose someone so young who had so much life ahead of her.
