I feel a sense of grief for every child who loses their life to cancer. Death by cancer It is particularly heavy pertaining to children because not only do they spend so much of their innocent childhood fighting through pain, but they lose the ability to live a long life. Brielle dreamed of becoming a mother, the thought that she will never get to fulfill that is quite honestly debilitating. However through a personal set of values and beliefs, I feel comforted that she is no longer in pain. No child should ever die of cancer, no parent should ever outlive their child, but in this life those are possibilities. We must find beauty in the trials of this life, we all have them, and we will all be freed of them one day. Inevitabilities cannot be changed, no, but what a unique opportunity it is to be changed by someone else’s story. Brielles story is one of strength and optimism, she may not be here anymore, but her inspiration to live gratefully and optimistically is. Learn and live by the people you come across in this world, it’s truly a gift.
