Losing Susanna

Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to.

The most difficult phase in my life that was difficult to say goodbye to was losing Susanna to the ravages of cancer.  She was a sister to me in every way that counted, and I had prepared myself over her 6 year long battle with kidney and liver cancer that one day  that insidious horrible disease would claim her.  Although I had mentally realised that it didn’t make the end of her beautiful life any easier to deal with.  I was grieving and still grieving the loss of someone I considered to be family.   I know I was blessed to have her in my life and, over time, realising that blessing makes the grief easier to live with. It has changed me and made me a different person, cherishing the love I have in my life.
