Send your good vibes for my niece, who may not live to see the sunrise


I have a beautiful niece, who is dying of cancer and who is now in her final part of her 14-year old life. Her name is Eloise.

She has been a strong soul fighting this dreadful disease for the past two years and has been brave and still smiling as she went through so much treatment. Her cancer, which started in her jaw, has now spread throughout her whole body, even after much treatment and the best doctors that were dedicated to helping her out. My sister and her husband are now with her at home and trying to make sense of this utterly incomprehensible tragedy.

My family has been told that her passing is imminent. But being an optimist, I am fully expecting some kind of miracle to come but am also resigned to the horrific fact that Eloise will not survive.

So if you have a loved one, a child, or just view how precious life is, give a special hug to that person or pass some good vibes to those around you with a dedicated effort for Eloise.

She would smile knowing that.

32. too young...way too young
I send my love & thoughts & hugs your way to you and your family and pray for Eloise to be able to leave her body with ease and feel that freedom of no pain.. :cry:

My daughter has a birth defect, (thank goodness she is on the really functional side of the spectrum with it), but we make regular trips to Children's Hospital in Oakland for tests..
it never ceases to amaze me the kids that we see in various stages of treatment and those we meet in the day hospital.
Many of these kids display a strength of spirit and bravery and even joy in the face of adversity that I have never seen. They rock, and I am sure Eloise put up a great fight and gave strength to all of you as well...

Tell her she is a hero, and that she has many prayers for her to have a easy trip to the other side :hug: and please pass on to your family that many people who don't even know them are sending them love and holding them in their hearts tonight... :grouphug:

Life itself is a miracle. Whether you get 14 years or 104 years - or something in between - it really is 'all good'.

I'm hoping (and praying) Eloise gets more than 14 years though...

:hug: to you, ZZ, and to Eloise.

101. I am so unspeakably sorry
Your niece and your family will be in my heart.

Whatever occurs... she has led a life filled with and surrounded by love. None of us can ask for a life any more complete or more beautiful than that. Loving and being loved are really the most important things that life can offer us, and she has had them in full, even if not for as long as we would like.

I am so sorry for the pain your family is going through and I am sending my prayers for Eloise. There just aren't words to tell you how much I ache for all of you.

110. a very sad event--there is nothing more sad in the world
when my mom passed over i was inconsolable for months. it took me over four months before i tried to sit and read.
the first book was
We Don't Die: George Anderson's Conversations with the Other Side
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/We-Dont-Die/Joel-Martin/e/9780425114513
it helped to bring some comfort--and reaffirm/strengthen my belief in the afterlife.
may her passage be peaceful.

To Eloise and your family:

your light blessed this blighted land, swirls cradled in a whisper of gentle breadth
your strength and love will never fade,
even when you reunite in Eternity's Shade,
your legacy touches and will forever linger in those around,
your courage blesses all.

may God bless you and your family, I am sorry for the unncessary pain she's gone through.

This should not happen in this day and age of technology. There is no trying to make sense

166. Prayers to you that your optimism wins out. If it does not, then strength for you to
"be there" for your sister and family.

My younger brother -a journalist- recently passed, from pancreatic cancer, and it has been a tough time for our family...

Hang in there!

and, as you said, utterly incomprehensible. Yet, her spirit and strength is an inspiration. A reminder to all of us to count our blessings as we mourn the imminent loss of this beautiful child. Wishing for that miracle . . .

175. Peace and love to all of you...
All I can say is I'm very sorry. I lost a son 13 years ago, and I know that there are no words that really fit except for the simple "I'm sorry." My thoughts are with her... and her family, as well. She sounds like a very loved and lovable girl, as well as a fighter. If she leaves this life, always remember that in your heart, as opposed to the ugly disease.

My hopes and prayers to all of you, and I hope that you all can know peace in this time of pain. Take all these best wishes and loving hearts here and realize that you are not alone; we all grieve with you.

189. There are no words
that can express my sorrow. There is also no way to even try to make sense of this. I live in an area that is one of the cancer capitals of America and I've lost many friends though none this young. If any good can come from this tragedy, it would be that this young, smiling face can wake some people up. We don't have the "Greatest health care system in the world" and cancer can be cured EXCEPT there's too much money in research. That's a hard pill to swallow~

It's always hard to lose a kid especially. It's such a robbery of life and potential. My heart goes out to her family who will still have to bear the grief when your niece is gone. I know it's not the same, but when my father died at what for today is a young age, I finally had to accept that there was no sense to be made of it. This kind of thing just happens. Reasons and fairness have nothing to do with it. Again, I'm so sorry for your family's situation. :cry:

May your family be comforted in knowing that she is released from pain and that they were privileged to have her in their lives for even a short amount of time. This was hard and painful for all and we don't know the whys of such things. Time will not change the outcome, but hopefully it will ease the family's grief.

Dearest Eloise....at this moment in time....you have brought us all together
Edited on Mon Apr-19-10 05:13 PM by Ninga
so that you can be wrapped in the warm spirit of each loving soul that has reached out to you and your family.

You were brought to this earth to serve some purpose, and I believe in my heart you achieved it with success.

Bless you little one.

258. My thoughts of best wishes and blessings
to you and your niece's parents. I have four children and sometimes I get so frustrated with them and all of them are grown and three of them have children.My baby girl has been on my list. I have been so mad with her,I was in her face today not long ago. Then I saw this op. Maybe I need to apologize. Because I never gave it a thought of what life would be like without her. My Bad.I guess that I will try a little harder at making our relationship better. I am pro education and she is pro free spirit. May your niece know that she has given something before or if she sleeps in eternal beauty,She made a mother remember about what is most important.The ability to get up in her face and the ability to give a hug, For if she were not here this would not be possible. Peace to you little one wherever,whenever,if ever you journey from this earth.:grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

268. Such a beautiful child
No words can say what I feel in my heart. I know what it is like to see your child and loved ones, who are positive and optimistic in the face of the odds, facing death. My son was 26 when he died after his 1.5 year fight of a brain tumor and my husband who was diagnosed two months after our son was diagnosed died 18 months after our son. They both were brave and they both had good friends and family to encourage them.

I have been told my son was truly an angel. He loved children and now he is in heaven playing with the new children arriving.

I like to believe that. I shall ask him to watch over Eloise, here on Earth and then in Heaven.

270. For those who believe that our temporary physical body dies
but our spirit lives on, Eloise will be entering a state that is so much
more beautiful than what we have here on earth. Physical death is birth
into the world of spirit. You are going where all of us are going someday.

All the best, Eloise!

296. I would check with your doctor, but bentonite in small doses with lots of water and smooth move tea
is supposed to bring anything with a positive charge into the
intestines for elimination.  This is suppose to include
bacteria, cancer, viruses, metals, anything positively
charged.  She is young and I have no idea her condition.  Do
some research first and then talk to your doctor.  It might be
what you are looking for, maybe not.  I am not a doctor.  Good
luck.  also look at Hulda Clarke remedies. 
And remember modern medicine doesn't look for all
possibilities, just pharms and surgery. 

Be sure to look for bentonite for internal use, not geological
use.

I really hope you have had a miracle and Eloise finds her way back to planet Earth but if she's moved beyond, please hold strong zulchzulu. Your sister and brother-in-law are going to need you more than ever....

303. UPDATE: Eloise is still alive as of this post
I absolutely am amazed and tearfully overwhelmed by the DU community embracing Eloise's plight and hopefully channeling into each other's loved ones or thoughts and prayers for all of us.

My sister and brother-in-law are by their daughter's bedside and her cat Charlie is by her side as well. Her sister is also there. For them, they want this to be very private. And for them, I can't even begin to imagine the moments they are going through.

Eloise's heart still beats. Maybe it's because the love you all bring.

Again, many thanks and many tears. And please don't forget to hand out some extra hugs.

Childhood cancer is one of these things that just demolishes any view of life and makes the world a nonsensical place. The only thing I guess you can do is give all your love and support, and it's clear you're doing that.

327. UPDATE: Eloise remains in hospice at home
I just thought I'd let people know the status. She had gone back to the hospital but is now at home with a hospice staff.

Again, I can't thank all of you enough for your prayers and concerns. Just remember to hug a loved one today a little more than you usually would.

330. Wow it is so good for her to make it home. Being home will make the transition
so much more comfortable for her. Being home in familiar surroundings with family is so much better than the cold hard hospital.

I am sending all my love to Eloise and you...and all of your family.

333. I've had her in my mind for the last few days.
I feel for her mother, being a mom myself.

Losing a child is something no parent should ever have to face.

337. Update: It's now in the final days...
It's been absolutely harrowing and tragic how these past weeks have been. I got word today that Eloise is now sleeping in a deep sleep and her body's functions are now slowly breaking down.

Your good vibes, prayers and tears have helped somehow. But the answers why this happened will never be something that anyone can ever understand.

Here's a photo of her last summer.

Like others, I am glad she made it home. But struggling to find something positive to add, I can only offer my thoughts and prayers again. I wish peace for everyone concerned.

341. Update: Eloise is still hanging on. I wrote a song a song for her
No news on her condition as of this writing. I had written a song about her and have an MP3 for those who wish to listen to it...

Eloise (MP3)

Eloise

Your face is like an angel's
your smile like a goddess
The way you walk in the field
is like one with an ancient soul
You may be leaving all of us
as you drift into the mountain mist
your safe passage is what we pray about
with tears that forever flow
they forever flow

I can't even fathom the mystery
and the misery that you have endured
I can't ever have the kind of courage
that you have shown
You are the answer to how we must live
for the day for the sun for the moon
and you make all of us realize
that it could just all go away too soon
it could all go

Eloise if you are listening please know that I want you to know
that you are loved and you are adored and I don't want you to go
Eloise if you are looking please see me raising my arms in the air
and I cry for your loss and can't understand what has happened here
what has happened here

It is the magic somehow in this sad story
where only the sunrise can be seen
where the night fought hard to make it
through the darkness in time in between
and the sunset had its strongest colors
just before the sun disappears
and you will be thought of by us
as we go on through these years

Eloise if you are listening please know that we want you to know
that you are loved and you are adored and we don't want you to go
Eloise if you are looking please see us raising our arms to the sky
as we cry for your loss and can't understand the reasons why

Eloise

347. I sent an MP3 to my sister to play for her
My sister is so traumatized that I am not sure she is even checking email.

My wish would be to play the song for her on my guitar by her bedside, but they want to be very private about all this.

351. UPDATE: Eloise passed this morning
The sad news finally happened. She is now in a better place and, as her father said, "with her animals or others".

Thanks again to all of you for your thoughts and prayers. This would be another opportunity to hug those loved ones around you.

Let's all just make sure we keep in mind how precious life is even when we are so distracted with the other things in life. Let's also make sure to thank our loved ones for being there and being who they are even when we can all sometimes disagree.

And smile! Please!
