You may recall from previous posts that Booby Jo and I were brought together by our breast cancer stories and tragically, in a bitter twist of fate, the very thing that brought us together has now claimed her life.
When I last saw Jo at the beginning of March, she really did not seem to know that she would not be with us for long …. it really does, all feel, so very sudden.
I am deliberately not blogging about Jo's personal circumstances out of respect to her family, however Jo was a mother, a sister, a daughter, an aunty, a niece and a friend and the loss will be felt profoundly.
Jo's death marks a 'stinging slap' to the face of those within the breast cancer 'community'…. a sharp reminder that none of us are immune to death, no matter how valiantly we take cancer on …. it's indiscriminate!
This of course is Jo's story and there are plenty of other stories out there full of hope, but now, it's time to mourn my dear friend and live life inspired by her memory.
