    It's been a VERY long time since I've been here.  Losing Eric was one of the hardest things I've ever been through in my entire life.  It's only by the grace of God that I made it through the first year, but I'm here.  Today I updated the Cancer Resource List on my blog for patients who are going through treatment.  I hope you find this helpful.

        Thank you very much.  Although I miss him so incredibly and my life will never be the same as it was when he was here, I have found joy.  Somedays are still rough but I'm slowly picking up the pieces and learning how to live again.  Thank you.

      Jill,

      It is so nice to see a post from you. I cried so hard when Eric died. Your husband went through so much and you were such an advocate and so supportive. I’m glad you are finding the strength to move forward. He has moved on, on the rest of his journey and you are too. I’m sure you miss him.

      Thank you for the resource list. You did a great job compiling it.

        …..with all due respect, who cares!   I've never seen this list and I am grateful that it was updated, revised and reposted.  Whoever the original poster was, I'm sure… would be grateful too, for  what they started and somebody else continued to improve upon and keep current.   We're in a battle here for our lives, whatever we can do to support each other and broaden our knowledge of care and support is a good thing……give thanks!

        God Bless Jill that she cares so much about all of us here to  continue helping us in anyway she can.

      Jill,

      I am new to this board as of a few weeks ago, so I wasn't around when Eric was fighting his fight, but after seeing this post I read a little of your blog and just want to say I am so sorry for your loss. I can't find the words to express how touched I am by the few posts I read on your blog, and how amazed I am at the strength both of you have showed, and how completely awesome it is that you glorified God through everything you've been through. I hope you continue to find strength and peace in the Lord. Thank you for sharing yours and Eric's story, and thank you for sharing the updated resource list.

      It is so good to see a post from you.  As you experienced from your time here on MPIP, there are newbies and oldies and  how important it is for all of us here, to see the families left behind  by this disease, to come back with continued  hope and help for all of us here,  your MPIP family.   We truly love and appreciate your care and thoughtfullness.  This is an amazing list,  which I have never seen, so thank you for this gift to all of us.  It is again, so kind of you to remember us and post this helpful resource.  

      Blessings to you Jill and continued healing, please stay in touch!
