I am so sorry, for her, for you and for your children, that she didn't get more time to wait for the "wonder drug".
I hope you will be supporting your children the way you have Caryn. And that you will find the support you need to get through this terrible loss.
My heart goes out to all of you. And to all of us, for we will miss Caryn too. She is one of us. She allways will be.
Hugs
Jacqueline

Oh Eric, my heart is broken in pieces for you and your children. I am so sorry. We love you and Caryn deeply. Thank you for sharing her with us. You both fought so valiantly and courageously. She was lucky (and very proud I suspect) to have you fighting for her and looking out for her. God has a beautiful new angel who will be looking out for you and your children now. Deepest love and prayers to you at this time.

Eric,
I'm not even going to read anyone's response here, I expect I will say much the same thing.
I am so saddened by this news, and wrap you and your family in loving prayers.
I think Caryn was always an angel, she has just moved on - whole and complete in God's embrace.
You are also an angel. I've learned and gained so much strength from you and Caryn's example. Caryn fought so hard, with you beside her. I can't imagine what you are going through - although I do imagine it all the time just with different faces (my family's faces).
What I would hope for myself and my family (aside from, as you called, radical changes in the fight) is that they would stand with me, fight for me and love me with even half the grace and passion that you have held in your fight.
I would hope to be as courageous and determined as Caryn was. I would hope that my husband, sister and niece would never feel they failed, would never let themselves be without love, and would find sunshine and joy again soon. And that they would know I would never leave them, I would always be as close as a memory and if they ever needed my advice, they could just ask "what would aunt chris say?" then listen to their hearts.
With much sorrow and love,
Chris

Eric,
I just wanted to add, I hope you do find it within you to continue to be part of this forum - it is such a gift to us. Please lean on us as much as you want or need to because we love you and would do anything we can to support you.
Your first priority is yourself and your kids; you must of course focus on what is most important to your own needs. Post here as you feel you can, but mainly do whatever is necessary to care for yourself, including taking time away from "this" family if that serves you best. We'll be here if you need us.
We love you.
Chris

We can only draw upon our faith in our loving Lord to help us through these times. May God bless you and your children.

Your Angel
Dearest Eric and family,
It is through tears that I write this tonight. You held each other so close and have been a shining example of love, compassion and faith to all of us. Please know that we are still praying for you and the children as you go through the days ahead...we love you and thank you for always being there...for your kindness and support.
I am at a loss for words, nothing can come close to understanding what you are going through right now. May you find comfort in the love that surrounds you today and all days.
Much love,
Vickie
