Hi everyone, I'm Lisa's husband, Rob. Today (26th of August 2022) is the one-year anniversary of Lisa's passing. She spent her last few weeks in the excellent care of the North Devon Hospice, who I am forever indebted to for all their kindness shown to Lisa, me and our son Stanley. I've only recently been made aware of the comments you have all made on this video, and I must say that I'm blown away by all your kind words. They have really warmed my heart. 🧡
Hi Rob , I’m so sorry to hear of Lisa’s passing but I’m comforted by the fact that you and Stanley got the support and help that Lisa had wished for . I hope you both are doing as well as can be expected , she was an extraordinary brave woman .RIP Lisa forever young .
Hi Rob, I’m so sorry you lost your dear wife and so sorry you must go on raising your son alone. I don’t have answers for you nor do I have the words to impact your life but I do know there is much strength in God’s grace. If you’re not a believer, I do not mean to offend you or ‘preach’ to you. God has really worked in my life and some of life’s hardest experiences have ended in clarity and real joy. It is so difficult at the time, but sometimes these experiences mold you into a better version of yourself and it’s beautiful. This life is so short and there’s beauty that can’t be bought nor explained. God bless you and your sweet son, Stanley.
Hello Rob I just came across this video while on holiday in India and I was deeply moved by your late wifes story. It just makes no sence how cancer doesn't care and seeing all these young people who have passed away from pop stars to my friends in their early 30s is so 8nfair when there are really bad people out ther who contribute nothing and live long lives. I own a music venue and guest house in Wales lampeter called Minds Eye venue if you and Stanley would like to come for a weekend free visit you both would be very welcome. . Regards Steve Edwards
@@imogen-rc6lx I don’t think she meant to say that it’s precious she was dying, I interpreted it to mean that the fact that she was crying over her sons grief rather than her own (while dying) was the thing that was precious.
Here I am, a tough old Aussie ex military man who has been through cancer, but watching this bought me to tears. What a wonderful lady with enormous strength.
Yeah she seems like a lovely woman.......they seem like a lovely couple. Both her and her husband. This disease touches so many of us, its an awful illness.
Turn to Jesus He loves you, He is the healer of the body And savior of the soul There is True Hope in Jesus, God protects Psalms 91, He is the God of miracles Acts 2:21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved Jesus alone saves Trust Him with your salvation John 3:16 1 Corinthians 15 1-4 Moreover Brethren, i declare unto you the gospel which i preached unto you, which also ye have received, and with wherein ye stand By which also ye are saved, if you keep in memory what i preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain, For i delivered unto you first of all that which i also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures, Take care
It's so sad, I'm terminally ill also got diagnosed with breast cancer back in 2017,had a recent scan the cancer is in all my organs now except my bowels and brain she is so courageous
My sister had extraordinary courage to accept that death is near for her when she was diagnosed with colon cancer at 39 with a 2 year old boy . She was composed , calm and collected to the end. I can not believe her courage and strength . She passed away in Summer of 2020 .
When my wife got steadily worse with her terminal cancer, hospice became like visiting angels. I can never repay them. God bless you and Stanley, Rob… it’s such a hard journey, but life after death carries on.
She was very brave and positive to the end. Thats the irony of life, that some people die so young , and get cheated out of time on this earth.RIP! Blessings and prayers to her family!
The incredible value of hospices cannot be emphasised enough, not just for terminal care but for respite care too. My dear Mum used to volunteer at her local hospice and, years later, when she was diagnosed with cancer, they said that they would have a bed for her whenever. And, in her final weeks, this was so. I flew to the UK to visit, not imagining it would be the last time I would spend time with her(the day I left, she deteriorated and died 48 hours later). The care was beyond my expectations, such as a fresh flower and a tiny glass of sherry on her meal tray, lovely duvet covers, and staff who knew just what to say and offer a shoulder to cry on. I will never be able to thank them enough. Please, do whatever you can to support your local hospice. It really is an essential network.
I agree. Hospice assisted both of my parents for end of life care. There are not words powerful enough to express my gratitude. They are truly the most compassionate people I have ever met. I will never forget their kindness during our time of need. May God bless all hospice workers.
I live in the United States. I have seen the wonderful Hospice for people with terminal illness. When I die I would love to have a place I could go to with all the lovely staff. I don’t know of any places like that here. I will have to check on it. It may be because our insurance here.😟
I am just seeing this. I am so very sorry for your loss. My husband has cancer and it truly is an awful journey but there is help along the way. God Bless you and your son.
I have just come across the video of Lisa talking before she passed, what a lovely lady and beautiful too.I was in tears watching her knowing she was going to die.Life can be so cruel she was to young to die.I hope you and Stanley are coping, Lisa seemed confident the hospice would look after you both after she passed.Rest in peace Lisa x
Oh this has me in tears 🥺 Rob your wife , such a wonderful and inspirational mother, wife and person. I am deeply sorry for the passing of your wife❤️ She surely is now your and your son's Angel 😇 God 🙏 Bless you and your Son
I've worked as a hospice nurse in Canada for 23 yrs. I'm so pleased you have shared with your son what is happening. Children are amazingly resilient. Both you and your story are beautiful. I grieve for you and your family that you will not be able to watch your son grow up or grow old with your husband. You are brave and beautiful inside and out
So comforting to read these kind comments. We lost our 17 year old son to suicide in 2004 Know it's not tbe same thing as a physical disease, but ours was mental illness that the family was not aware of.......a crushing devastating blow that almost killed us. I want to share this thought ithough, and pray that it will help everyone with real hope and a renewed sense of purpose and life. There IS life after sorrow and hopelessness, there is joy, peace and wholeness and a brand new life. This only happens with throwing yourself, your pain, your huge sorrow onto the Lord. Life is unfair and will always be in this world. I pray that you find the solace that Jesus can give you. I was extremely angry with him for a,long time. He accepted my hatred , my turmoil, my desire to commit suicide as I saw my sons friends enter college and the beginnings of a new era. PLEASE allow the spiritual help you we all need. HE said, "My yoke is easy snd my burden is light." I know it doesn't make sense, but there is LIGHT at the end of the tunnel. A
This a good time to do audio?visual recording so that Stanley will always be able to hear your voice, see your face and remember your story, and his. Good luck
@@deusvult2302 , but the video released 3 months ago, and as far as I understood it showed Lisa was still alive. If she's passed, why didn't they tell about it?
He will hear your voice again in this beautiful video. I am impressed with your strength. The way you prepared everyone for your passing, with such clarity, is amazing. RIP
Love each other. That is the greatest gift. That's what GOD wants us to do. Lost my youngest brother in March. Miss him but will reunite in heaven. What a glorious reunion it will be. 😇❤️🙏
My 85 year old father passed away 20 yrs ago...the age doesn't count , I will always miss him but it does get easier you just need time and a good cry every now and again... my sincerest condolences to you...
I’m so upset for her. Lisa was an amazingly brave and inspirational woman. I couldn’t be that brave. That hospice is a haven in the midst of all the pain and worry. Sincere condolences to Lisa’s family and friends. I wish Rob and Stanley strength, peace and future happiness. 🙏
Lisa !You are so courageous and a gorgeous mother and wife. I won't forget your tears! I have a breast cancer and I'm so afraid to face the same. I would like to be courageous like you. God bless you Lisa.With my prayers and Love .
The special hospice places are so amazing and so caring and supportive. Lisa is a angel and a lovely family. Such, courage and love through this pain. I am thankful 🙏 for the support and care given to the whole family, guiding them through with comfort and strength.
0:59 I remember that feeling when I found out my mum was ill...........time really just stops.......she told me and I didnt believe the words she was telling me, I had to ask her again, even though I could hear her perfectly.....It couldnt be true.......but it was true......the pain is too much. I miss you mum.
An extremely touching and moving video. This video has brought awareness to the valuable work hospices do in caring and supporting families. What a brave and courageous woman!
Rob and Stanley, Lisa's love and strength is part of you now. Go forward and live wonderful lives for her. Sending so much love and healing thoughts to you both ❤
Such a beautiful soul. Tears to see your bravery and love for your family. How difficult it must be knowing you have to be supporting your child as you take this journey. My child died, I know the pain of loss. Your husband and son will feel your loving presence forever. It's been 38 years for me but he is always with me, comforting me at times. Your message will give others hope to know that others will be there for them too. God bless you Lisa and family. Sending love xxx
hello rob i am sat here crying watching this i know how you feel in a way i lost my beautiful fantastic mum 4 years ago and it is still hard to come to terms with the loss hope you are doing well and thankyou for sharing
You are a strong woman. It not easy when your mother of Small child. I have liver cancer and my 4 kids they are grown. But it still hard living with cancer and knowing you will not live long time .my heart go out to you and i will kept you in my prays 🙏
What a truly brave and beautiful woman. Proud of her husband who stood by her in her fight. RIP sweet Lisa and may your family find peace and strength to carry on and may your little son continue hearing you sweet voice in his mind. Your bravery is unsurpassed. May God shine His light on all of you.
what a lovely family unit you all made. i am so sorry for your loss - she looked to me to be an imcredibly brave lady. i think you & Stanley will do just fine.
I wouldn't rely on help from outside too much. Everyone (family, friends, hospital and hospice staff) cared about my wife until she passed 11 years back, but after that day everyone vanished into thin air except my and her parents. Brought our three children up basically alone. But they are happy and successfull young adults now, so I guess I did something right. Anyway still dissappointed in humanity.
I am truly sorry so many let you down after your beloved Wife's passing💔~Humanity can be quite selfish and very unfair, sadly:( God never will, though; I lean on Him, daily, for Comfort, Hope, Peace, and Strength🙏🌠~ Sending BLESSings from Arizona!!
@Suzanne Meub it's hard when everyone leaves. You don't have all of the distraction and you finally realize how alone you are. There were so many days I wished I didn't have the support because once it was gone I've lost even more.
I watch these videos with the hope of understanding what life could potentially be like for me. My mother has colon cancer that hasn't responded the best to treatment. Most forms of cancer treatment take a severe toll on the body and it's organs and her organs weren't the strongest to begin with. I have no idea how long I'll have my mother, as I am too afraid to ask. I've only graduated high school a year ago, and I often wonder if she'll be there for my college graduation, whether she'll see me become a mother, whether she'll witness any of those things. It reminds me of the reality that is being mortal. Grasping the concept that even the most sacred aspects of your life and the people in it are temporary. I appreciate videos like this that don't sugarcoat or cut corners. It's an awful but natural thing that doesn't deserve to be hidden away. We're all only here for so long. Thank you.
Thank You for sharing something so personal. Cancer is devastating and how one takes the news can never really be known. Dying someday and knowing that your going to die in pain and a countdown has begun is different. Each individual has to find their way through Cancer, but for most it's a death sentence and the journey is fraught with uncertainty, pain, illness and at the end of the battle ...death. Your story is heart wrenching and I am crying over how strong and brave You are. I hope to have even a fraction of Your Grace when I'm told there's nothing left to do. Again, Thank You for Sharing.
My boyfriend just had lung cancer and he was so brave and strong with his surgery he had.im so proud of him for getting it cured too.hes my love and my life my everything and had fought for me and helped me all along our togetherness which only makes me love and cherish him that much more it does.
Please don't say that you're proud of someone for getting cured of cancer. I know you mean well but please don't. Of course you are entitled to feel the way you feel and it's a totally valid feeling from you point of view but it's very heartless to the people who know they can't beat it, no matter how hard they try and how much they want to. And it's heartless towards the families who've lost a loved one because of cancer. Lisa passed away back in August and here's what her husband posted, and where you'll also find what I meant above: "Lisa hated the expressions 'lost her battle with cancer' and 'lost the fight'. She said if it was a battle or a fight, she would stand a chance of winning, and it was soon evident there was no chance. But what she did win was the hearts of everyone she met with that unforgettable smile and her overwhelming sense of kindness. She carried herself with dignity, humour and such courage." Some people are lucky to stand a chance against cancer. Some are not. It's about as simple as that.
RIP Lisa 💔 you were so strong to fight such an aggressive illness for 9 years and you've helped so many in that time! Stanley has so much to be proud of when he speaks your name. Hope you're doing ok Rob and getting all the support you need when you need it ! Take care . God bless Lisa rest easy xx
Wow what an awesome young lady such courage I was in tears on listening to your story especially when you mentioned Stanley asking you if he will be able to speak to you when you go to your everlasting sleep. Love to all your family 🙏 🕊
I watched my dad pass away from cancer April 2021 it 💔 my heart it is still broken!!!!!when we went to a store or a restaurant people would say if they saw him I wood always be with him!!!!!I really miss that 😔 💔 😢 😪 I love him so much 😢💔😔😞😪💙😢💔😔😞😪💙😢💔😔😞😪
Hi, Rob. Your wife gave so much insight into what breast cancer looks like. Thank you to her for explaining in human, non-medical terms that all of us can understand! Much love to you and Stanley from Stillwater, Minnesota, USA.
Heartbreaking + Heartwarming @ the same time. I admire her courage! And her total love for her family. I am so very sorry for her family's loss - a truly bright & wonderful light is now gone. May she rest in peace 🙏 I cried w/her - watching & thinking she looks so healthy & beautiful how can she be so sick?! It's so not fair
Wow! Hospice is an amazing! It’s not a job, it’s truly a calling! I hope that you are able to record many videos, so Stanley and your husband can watch them! My Dad was taken suddenly, and I was so blessed to see that I had not deleted a voicemail from him!! Anytime I need him, I can listen to it. It’s amazing. Much love to you and your family! 💗💗💗
Same thing with my sister...it was suddenly and I was able to save her voice mail greeting. I listen to it occasionally but it still hurts. Her birthday is on the 15th (February) maybe I will listen to it then.
I sadly deleted a voicemail on the Christmas Day that my Mum was in the hospice. I did visit her about 2 weeks later and had deleted it. How I regret that.😔
