I asked her why she is not active on the site any more and it is a mixture of lost hope and also no strength. I have not seen her in person since August so when I see her this Sunday I will understand more what is going on with her physically. She knows how much people here care and I do call her and read to her. When Jeff passed away it was hard on her and I do believe that is when she stopped posting. Thank you again for continued support for my Aunt Sophie. She needs it more each day. Take care and will write more after the trip. Hollie
Please do pass on our best to her. Sophie was a dynamic force here. I remember how hard she worked collecting our letters and stories. Please let her know that we miss her and are thinking of her. If she doesnt have the strength to visit us, that is one thing. But if she is avoiding us because of the lost hope, please please encourage her to visit again. We cant change what is going to happen, but we can offer a shoulder and an ear. From her last couple of postings, I know she was worried about her daughter and how she would cope, but Sophie also needs to think about herself and how she will cope. She was there for so many people and left her mark and special place in so many of our hearts. If given a chance, we would like to do the same for her. If it is physically not possible, please let her know how special we think she is and how we wish we could do more to help.

Thank you for more good thoughts. Same back to you GAvin for your father and for your sister Lalupes. We all must go through such similar emotions and know the burdens of cancer in a loved one. The support on this site is amazing. My Aunt used to really be involved on here, but no longer has the strength or hope to continue. I really wish things were different. The past two years have been filled with hope and despair. I will write when I return from our trip to see Aunt Sophie. Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Hello Hollie – I don’t know your aunt (I’m still pretty new here, although I feel I’ve known you all for AGES) but I do know how my sister’s cc is affecting me & my family, so I wanted to reach out & say hello, too.
My best wishes to you all & I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Dear Hollie,
I agree with Marion. I think hospice would be a good choice at this time to control the pain and suffering Sophie is experiencing. It is all so sad, how this disease affects everyone it touches. First and foremost the patient, but also the family, loved ones and caregivers. Please give my best and a big hug to Sophie from me when you see her. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaHollie…Hospice would be of great benefit to Sophie. Pain and suffering is something they will address immediately.
All my love,
MarionHopeandgrace,
Thank you for checking in to say hi and also for thinking of my Aunt Sopihie.
Marion, Lainy, Kris, Joyce, and Darla,
Thank you for reaching out and sending so many well wishes and good thoughts. When I found this today I was very touched that so many people out there are so caring. I called my Aunt right away to read her all the kind words you all wrote. She started to cry and was emotional as this process has been quite hard on her and everyone. You can all relate to this awful cancer and we are both so grateful for all the support. She is unable to sit at the computer to respond so I am sending her love and gratitude. Her humor and strength has not been the same for some time now. It is so hard to see her slowly suffer with the symptoms. At this time I would say the ascites and abdominal pain is the hardest part. She does get drained every Tuesday, but only gets a bit of relief and it is short lived.
This time last year we thought that would have been her last Thanksgiving and were praying she would make it to see her first grandbaby. Anna, was born in January and now making it to the first birthday is in reach. I wish there was some way someone could comfort her and ease some of the suffering. Just barely getting by day to day seems so unfair. Well, thank you all for being out there. I know heartfelt concern is a click away. You are all the best. I am looking forward to my time over Thanksgiving and will write when I return. Take care and God Bless You! Love, HollieFor those of you wanting to contact Sophie’s niece Hollie directly, here is the address: travisnhollie@suddenlink.net.
Thanks to all of you,
MarionAdd me to the Sophie fan club. I miss her fiesty posts.
Sophie,
Sending warm hugs. I cant imagine how hard it must have been to give up some of your pets. My kitties are the world to me and I would be so sad without them. I hope you are spoiling that grandbaby good. I remember you were so excited about her arrival. I bet the reality of her is better than the anticipation. Babies are such blessings. If you feel up to it, drop us a note. We miss your humor and strength and go go attitude.Kris
Hi Sophie girl! We miss your smiling face and you are thought about a lot. Our best thoughts are going out to you!
