    A few months ago I was talking with a friend who was given 6 months to 2 years, in 2005, 2006. His wife pushed him to write letters, holiday cards etc, to their two daughters. He’s still here and we were just talking about this exact thing. He was commenting on the difference between what he wrote when he thought he wouldn’t be here and what he writes now. Those were sealed when he wrote them, so he gives his daughters both. He get’s pretty happy if he accurately guessed things like ‘now that your dating’ and they laugh about the marks he missed, or the things he doesn’t even remember writing❤. As he was suggesting everyone do should do this, he pointed out that two of his friends, with no known health problems are no longer here. One died in an automobile accident, the other a blood clot. Truth be known none of us is guaranteed tomorrow. That said, even if you choose to write cards or letters, that doesn’t mean you won’t be here. 🥰

      Such a kind and loving post. A dose of reality with a whole lot of hope.
      I lost my Mama in Nov of 2020-I CHERISH those beautiful words and special gifts she left us..my Sis and I found them after she was gone. Your kids, family will feel SO loved with those blessings IF you aren't here in those future times....preparing does in NO WAY mean giving up Sarah. Preparing to me, just another very special way of showing how deeply your love goes.
      🙏💛🙏

    Im not in your shoes, so take this with the love it is intended to show.
    I was a nurse for a long time. I've seen a LOT.
    Do the cards and video's for your kids. Don't share them with anyone. Let the kids have something special and exclusive for them just in case you aren't there to say it yourself.
    You can do that and when they reach those milestones, you can watch them together if all turns out well, and each child will forever know how uniquely they are loved by you.

    • @Barbara-ch3qf
      @Barbara-ch3qf Год назад +9

      I agree! That’s why I think cards and letters are important. They can hold them in their hands, a material connection between writer and reader.

    • @sallygreenfield6991
      @sallygreenfield6991 Год назад +15

      100% THIS. It's not "giving up." It's making sure your kids always feel your love and presence, whether you are here or not. More people should do this even if they aren't facing a terrible disease, because you never know what will happen to you!!!

  • @maryellenblount6376
    @maryellenblount6376 Год назад +3

    I think writing cards for those big and small future events in your husband and kids’s lives is a good thing to do. It’ll let you envision that future and might give you further resolve to carry on. It will also give you peace if things do progress. You won’t feel anxiety about things you haven’t said. I watch Jenny Apple, another very sweet young mother, with advanced cancer. She has done that- written cards and letters to her children. I think it has given her a way to feel present for her children if in the future she can’t be there with them.

    • @freelancerjourn
      @freelancerjourn Год назад +20

      I watch Jenny too. It’s amazing that it has been too long ago since I somehow came across both Jenny and POG Family’s respective RUclips channels. But I feel so invested in their journeys and have prayed for both Jenny and Sarah. And yes, I love that Jenny has written notes for her precious kiddos. I believe I also heard her articulate that even the videos she posts on RUclips is, in a sense, for them to possibly later on see the journey she is on.

    Please give yourself a break. You are just being realistic and praying for the best, as we all are. It's totally understandable. PAUSE... set back and breathe in that mountain air. You're always smiling, and it makes me smile immediately. It's contagious. You're a warrior! ❤

Letting the kids put together a scrapbook helps. Safe travels and I hope you and the kids can enjoy your trip. Sarah will be right there with you!

  • @1950francesca
    @1950francesca Год назад +38

    Not unproductive at all. Very honest and thoughtful reflections in the face of huge disappointments and uncertainty. You are trying to stay grounded in the beautiful and restful time with your family - but you can't help looking ahead, and that makes sense. You're not giving up - you're just not in denial; you are looking at all aspects of your reality with great courage and trying to address all possibilities for the sake of your children. This is coping at its best.

  • @delisamarchetti5926
    @delisamarchetti5926 Год назад +13

    Hi Sarah, feeling lost right now is so normal dear one. You are still reeling from a terrible shock you experienced last weekend. You went to just the right place to calm your nerves and get refocused. Making those cards and videos for the fam is not giving up not in the least. If it were me, I think getting those done and put away would be empowering. And you might take some breaks in between to rest your spirit and then begin again when you feel centered. You are showing true courage. Sending just for you: a cup of warm milk with a little vanilla and a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg in your favorite hand thrown pottery mug, with a freshly baked mini pumpkin spice muffin. Remember how much we all care because your are one of those rare people that are impossible not to love. :)

  • @cynthiapowell5560
    @cynthiapowell5560 Год назад +24

    Sarah, just because you plan ahead (example making cards for future events. It doesn’t mean you have given up. It just means that you were thinking ahead.) The fight is in you God willing you will live a long life. None of us know how much time we have. We all should be planning ahead. I had two friends that passed over this last month. One was a car wreck. One had a heart attack. Plan ahead. None of us are promised tomorrow.

    I have been watching but never subscribed until today. Of all the people I listen to on RUclips you are by far the most sensible, honest, well put together person I have had the pleasure of spending online time with. I can't imagine what you are going through but I hope and pray that the letters you write, you will enjoy reading in the future with your children and husband. ❤ You are truly lovely Sarah.

    @mustwereallydothis Год назад +15

    There's a huge difference between giving up and being prepared and planning ahead. You're handling this in the best way possible for yourself and your family. Those, cards, letters, and videos will be precious to your family no matter what the outcome of your illness. They will show them how very much you were loving them and thinking about them, even when things were so difficult for you. I lost my mother to cancer at a very young age, and all I have left of her are a few fuzzy memories, some second-hand stories, and a couple of pictures. If I had a single video of her, never mind one where she was speaking directly to me, it would be my most precious possession.

    My husband died of cancer over 20 years ago leaving me and 6 children. Now they are all adults and how I wish he would have left them messages. He didn’t want to believe cancer could take his life, and though he lived 8 years diagnosed, so much of his last years his mind/brain were impaired that writing messages wasn’t even possible. None of us know the future. Do what you feel led to do. It’s not giving up. Reality often sucks!!! Prayers for you and your family. May nature place a healing balm upon your souls.

    Love the sound of the water…sounds very peaceful! So glad you and your family are together and can enjoy each other and give each other support. I thinking writing your thoughts for the kids for special events/milestones in their lives is a lovely idea. Your not giving up…your planning ahead to be part of their lives. They will cherish your words! Hugs, love and prayers for you all! 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

    What a peaceful, beautiful spot for some downtime with family! Do your cards and videos on the hopes you will be here for many years to come. I wrote to my son often from the day he was born and gave him the book on his 18th birthday. None of us know how long we will be given here.

    My heart aches for you that you are now in the position where you have to contemplate cards for the kids. Nothing can take away hope so always be hopeful. I hope that Murphy’s Law will work for you. If you write these cards you won’t need them!! I pray daily for more options for you.

  • @lorib5341
    @lorib5341 Год назад +8

    Nature can be so very healing....of mind, body and soul.Just being out there makes one feel better. I'm so glad you have your family around to enjoy the beauty and spend time together. You've had some rough days and you deserve some lovin' from all your people! Enjoy the sweet noises and views of nature. I've never been up to Washington so it's lovely to see! Having special cards and videos set aside is a lovely idea...and if it brings you a bit of comfort to do that, then do it. And you can hand those cards and watch those videos with them in the future. We pray this is how it's going to go! 💝

    One day at a time sweet Sarah. One moment at a time. Perhaps writing future birthday cards and words of wisdom to each of your children will help you sort through your feelings and ease your mind a little. Enjoy your time with your family in nature.

  • @sandypittman8182
    @sandypittman8182 Год назад +1

    I know the feeling . That "lost" feeling. I am 73 and my health is not great so I am really feeling my mortality, it is a sad and confusing thing to feel. Everyone here has their own lives and my husband and I feel like we just don't belong any more. I may feel that way more than he does. I am sorry that you are feeling lost at the moment and hope your doctors will find more options for you. I now just live day by day and moment by moment. I wish I could take your problems away and give you huge hug. You are a dear, sweet lady.💖💖💖

    This video was exactly what it needs to be Sarah! It’s therapeutic for you to be able to articulate your feelings. If your feeling called to write letters feel into your heart you will know the answer. Being in nature is so good for all of you this weekend. Enjoy your time with everyone and do your best to be in the present moment if only for the weekend forgetting about the cancer. Sending you so much love. ❤

    Sarah, you don’t even have to wish that you had better things to say or wish that a video you post was more productive.

We pray for you, and are thankful that there is this forum for you to share your thoughts. And we pray you get lots of encouragement from the comments here.

    Definitely start now, start writing those letters/cards while you can and maybe you kids won't need them but at least you have done it and so you can focus on your treatment and quality of life regardless of what will happen. I just got diagnosed with cancer, I am nowhere near dying, and I don't have kids but I have already started doing stuff to make sure my partner and my mum will be ok without me, just in case.

    Wow Sarah! You are such a beautiful human being, woman, person, wife, mother, friend! No one wants to think of, or plan, for their demise but life isn’t guaranteed for any of us. Life is so fragile! It could change for me in a moments notice. My husband and I bought our burial plot years ago - we were planning for our future. We had our wills done, tried to save a little money, paid for our home, etc., etc. It’s a smart thing to do. Think of it that way. Try not to think of it about dying, think of it as living! Make a video for your kids, write letters, etc.
    I realize and can feel your fear of the unknown. The only difference between you and I is that you have cancer. You are sitting and making this video in the middle of one of God’s most beautiful creations on earth. He is with you throughout this journey and will never leave you. Your life has been turned upside down so you are mourning life pre-cancer and you feel lost. A support group of people dealing with cancer issues would be beneficial for you.
    I feel sure the doctors are going to plan on another method of treatment once they figure out what happened with your speech. Update us once you know. I will continue to pray for you and your beautiful family.

    My friend stopped treatment because he doesn't feel he has a good quality of life. He's getting home hospice now and if he feels up to it we still go out on adventures. We were just taking about how a "friend" of his angrily verbally attacked him and accused him of "giving up" I'm sad to think that a person with a horrible disease for many years, would be scrutinized for making his own empowered choices for his own life. He is at peace in his decision.
    I think the American culture is to "stay strong, never give up and be a warrior " when in fact death waits for no man. The choice we do have is how we use time we do have.
    I can't tell you how much I appreciate you talking this through on today's video. I think it would be worse to be in denial and miss the opportunity to bless your family later. I've had many patients put off those activities because they have gotten almost superstitious and think it will jinx their outcome. I know it's because it feels like a tiny bit of control is still in their hands.
    You are amazing and helping so many other people! Thank you for being brave and putting yourself out there.

Whatever is ahead, you will know what to do. You are a good, wise, and smart person. Every video you post is right; you do not need to explain anything or perform in a particular way for us.

My parents are gone and I am not a child and would Give anything to receive a note on my birthday from my mom or my dad ..: even at my age!! Looking into the future and trying to imagine it’s a very giving heart which is what you have and you are the best mom ever so let’s pray that you’re here for lots and lots of more birthdays and events!!!!!

    Well darn Sarah. One thing you’ll never hear me say is “I know how you feel” because I most certainly do not. I’m glad you are with your family in that gorgeous place. We used to live in Tacoma when I was little. I don’t remember much except for the what seemed like hundreds of apple trees in the back yard. 😅 They drew bees and so did the back of my knees. 😂
    I can only imagine how WEARY you are. I follow so many different cancer journeys on RUclips and one that I follow (Jenny) has also started writing out cards for her kiddos and for Kyle. It’s hard to imagine but as you say, reality needs to be considered. And I know you will never give up but you are also a smart woman. I don’t know what I’m trying to say really. I just continue to pray for you and to send positive love and light your way. Enjoy your special time with your family. You all could use this time, I’m sure. Peace.

    You’re in such a beautiful place!!! We’re so lucky to have such easy access when it comes to making videos, if anything happens to us our family and kids will never forget us. We can tell and show them how much we adored them and stories from our past. I hope you’ll be here for a long time but I find it comforting that just in case something happens to any of us we should have a library that our kids can always access. Special recipes I keep trying to do and more videos with my whole family in it is something I’d like to have more of for sure. I hope you can enjoy your time away without to much stress,pain and worry🤞🤞🙏🏻❤️✌️

    I also follow Jenny Apple, and like you both, the immunotherapy drug I was on, had to be stopped because it was having a bad effect on my kidneys. I don’t have many options either. So I feel ‘connected” to you both, even though I am older, I’m young enough to want to live. But! This is the hand we’ve been dealt, we didn’t give up and who knows there may be new drugs, treatments or alternative therapies coming down the pipes and I know we would be there standing in line. That’s not giving up, like so many have said, that’s just not being in denial. We are lucky to be able to tell our loved ones how much we love them, spend more quality time with them, share memories, reconnect with people who we need to contact again, and allow our minds to accept our new reality. So many people don’t get that chance. We need to remember to be grateful the many blessings we do have❤

    I certainly do not envy the position you find yourself in. To keep everything on a more positive level for yourself, maybe you could view the future oriented supportive documentation preparation as a new approach of being super early for any significant milestones your family members will encounter - never to be late or have to rush again. That is an awesome example of mother nature at her finest that surrounds you there. Love to you and family.

    It is so normal to grieve, you should be allowed grieve. I went through the same, and did not have the privilege to say goodbye, having 2 sons at the stage of 12 and 6 years old. I experienced anger, then depression until I realised I am actually selfish to think it only happened to me and did not take my kids feelings in consideration. Until I woke up and pulled myself together and had the courage to speak to my kids about their feelings. What a shock ? As people surrounding you with good intensional, telling your kids to help you, taking over some tasks Sarah would have done. Wrong,wrong,wrong. Doing damage to kids emotions as they do not understand how to work through it theirselves. You will go through different fades, the kids will never be able to replace Sarah. She is at a much better place than we are right know. Pray that the Holy Spirit will walk with you and your kids everyday and do everything to His Glory. It is hard, but you have to go through the grieving process, with God.

    Sweetheart the video was so lovely, to me it came across as therapeutic for you, you say it was a silly video but you were by a creek a relaxing setting and just emptying your thoughts out into the beautiful setting that in itself will have helped you, dont worry about us this is about you, you are so transparent that's what I adore about you, we see the real person and how you deal with next steps, I find all your vlogs useful, they are sad, happy loving and courageous, keep being you, are fighting and that's all your family can ask of you, you look amazing keep being you lovely ❤❤❤❤

    Diane here Sarah and Josh, 10.50pm here in Melbourne & just watching before bed. Sarah, where you are seems a good place to rest, relax, build your body and energy up. What is right for you is what you feel you should do. Write the cards, make the videos for a Josh and the kids, you can hand them out at the time the events roll round and should that not be the case, then you will have prepared lots of loving mementos for them. Tomorrow is not promised for anybody my dear - just what feels you will be comfortable with should help your choices, big hugs.

    Dear Sarah,
    Im from Germany and following you for a while now. So you are sending messages to people all around the world I guess :)
    Im not watching your videos because I want productive content (bc you said your video wasnt productive at the end). Im watching your videos because I like your way to deal with the things and to see how strong you are. It basically helps me trough my own trauma. That might sound weird but I lost someone a couple years ago who was so important for me and I couldnt say goodbye. The person never talked about his thoughts in a serious way. We never told eachother how much we might suffer and love the other person. Im struggeling with that even 10 years later. So I am sure if I had cards or some videos from that person that would have helped me.
    I know making plans helps to look forward and not being stuck in the situation. I totally get that. Do the things you want to do and dont apologize. The ppl who follow you on yt will still be here even if they might have a different opinion on things.

  • @krisjames4276
    @krisjames4276 Год назад +1

    Never Sarah could you ever be accused of 'giving up'. Obviously, when any of us are faced with serious illness we can remain positive, but, when also when our children are involved, it is a mothers love that makes us want to protect and prepare. This isn't being negative or defeatess. I hold great hope and prayer that another treatment can be put forward. Surround yourself with love and we shall surround you darling with our love and prayers xxx❤🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

    Hi Sarah, to me this video you re disappointed into was one of the most beautiful you ve made. It shows you as a loving mom and wife, loving family member, as a beautiful person in general. We can feel your sorrow, but at the same time a strong feeling of peace and calm in this nature to which you seem connected.
    I guess starting doing these cards and videos is hard, and emotionally complicated, but as you say, it won't mean you have no more hope or are done. They will be precious for your kids and Josh no matter what, and don't have to be 'perfect', they will be for them anyway.
    Sending lots of ❤❤❤❤ from France!!
