One year ago Vic was around to celebrate Jared’s birthday. It was a milestone filled with sadness. We all knew that Vic would not celebrate his next birthday.

Dying is a lonely journey. Not only for the sick person but also for the family. As hard as we may try to avoid death, the truth is that we do a lousy job of it. Science and medicine will certainly postpone it, even staying healthy might seem to delay it, but the harsh reality is that death does not wait for you, it does not ask you, and it does not listen to you. Death ignores your feelings and wants; you do not matter to death…Death is the only certainty in life! We need to remember that our existence here is fragile, and we never have as much time with people as we think we do. If there is someone or someones out there that you love, don’t neglect that and don’t put off engaging with them because waits for no-one… Vic's Journey ended on 18 January 2013 at 10:35. She was the most courageous person in the world and has inspired thousands of people all over the world. Vic's two boys are monuments of her existence. She was an amazing mother, daughter, sister and friend. I will miss you today, tomorrow and forever my Angle Child.

I am a sixty plenty wife, mother, sister, grandmother and friend. I started blogging as a coping mechanism during my beautiful daughter's final journey. Vic was desperately ill for 10 years after a botched back operation. Vic's Journey ended on 18 January 2013 at 10:35.

I am so sorry for your loss. I understand the pain of mourning a child as well. My son died 7 years ago at the age of 28 on December 22nd. He was physically challenged from birth with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy and I was his advocate for 28 years.
It was very difficult to cope for several years. My life was no longer busy caring for him and didn’t know what to do without him. I am using his memories to go forward with an art career and writing his book to honor his life. It is now comforting and I feel him with me guiding my life helping others to heal from life challenges.
Stay strong and take care…..Judy

Thank you Judy! I think that emptiness is the worse! For 38 years my daughter consumed my mind, thoughts, soul and now just nothing! I too have started writing a book to honour Vic’s suffering. I also started a Hospice in Vic’s honour. It keeps me going. It no good comes from her suffering it would have been senseless. Hugs
