I made this to print off, embellish, and create a card for my grandma...
Journaling reads...
my heart is aching as i watch and listen and wait - no parent should ever have to watch their child die - and you already have gone through this once before -i am so very sorry that you are having to be faced with losing another child and to watching your child suffer each day - as the cancer races through his body -this cancer is so aggressive and is so dark and so cold - but one thing i know is
that when someone dies they are never really gone - because cancer can destroy the body and cancer can bring tears and pain - but cancer cannot destroy the memories - and cancer cannot destroy the soul - the one thing that will survive after cancer has taken his physical life is love - the love that you shared as mother and son and the memories you have will be alive in your heart -and the cancer cannot destroy the lives he touched - love is eternal. Love is immortal.
I have never seen a more soul wrenching sympathy card. It is beautiful, and I know your Grandma will LOVE the personal feelings of love that went into this. And yes, the memories are never destroyed.
