How in the world are you such a freaking beyond-talented writer in the midst of feeling so legitimately awful? 😭😭😭 (Like, really, I’ve turned into an angry gremlin for so much less.)
For real, though: Praying with you and for you when you can not muster another prayer. Cancer sounds like physical and emotional terrorism.
So much love to you, Laura. Thanks for sharing the depths of your soul with us, even now. 💛
Sitting in prayerful silence right now. Prayers for the tumor to disappear, prayers for your body to be delivered through the infusions, prayers for all of your loved ones, prayers full of hope for the little things, like enjoying the taste of your favourite food, and for the strangely specific, like the robustness of your white blood cell count. Prayers without words from heart to heart to our Lord who loves you and knows your need so much better than I.
Praying so hard for you, every Mass and rosary, every hour in adoration. I have so many friends in heaven and parents, aunts and uncles and sisters-in-law, and I have been asking all of them to intercede for you for healing and for easing of your suffering. Could you offer a prayer for my across-the-alley neighbor and friend of 40 plus years who is now on hospice with stage 4 pancreatic cancer (was a daily Mass goer so she does know and love the Lord)? So much love to you.
Your writing has been a comfort to me in some hard seasons, Laura. I’m so sorry you are going through this. Total stranger on the internet that I am, but I’m holding you up in prayer daily. 🙏🏻
We will pray - we will storm the heavens for the miracle you need with this round. I also swear Rachael is a living saint. My oldest, who is very close friends with Rachael's girls, said this to me I'm the past couple of years and I knew it was the truth the moment the words were uttered. I firmly believe that what she told you will happen. We will claim it in our prayers as well!
May Rachael be wrapped in God’s tender embrace, now and always. May she live in joy and peace this day. May her memory be a blessing. May her beloved family feel a touch of Christ’s peace as they grieve hard.
Laura, you are being accompanied by a God who is faithful, especially in these most awful times. And they are. My heart is full for all you are enduring, along with your husband and kids. Praying with you the next infusion is kinder and that there is the 100% eradication of the cancer you need to move on to surgery quicker.
Holding space for you & sending holy, healing energy every day & begging a miracle for you. 🤍
You are certainly being called to deep, deep suffering Laura. While we may not understand why some people have to suffer more than others, as you are, we know with certainty you are also being consumed with an avalanche of grace. Racheal is most certainly interceding like crazy on your behalf. The friend and support she was/is to you is a reflection of the friend and support you are to all who are privileged to walk this Calvary with you. Praying for the repose of her soul and for her family and friends who love her so much.
Your vulnerability and honesty is remarkable Laura, and really helpful for the thousands of people praying for you, that we may lift up your very specific intentions.
Praying fervently you feel His closeness and saving graces, and regain your firm footing!

So sorry for your sickness and pain. I am praying for you to have a 100% complete pathological response. Sending love and hugs, Xo
Storming the heavens for you, and for Rachael and all who loved her. We are here to sit and weep with you, my love.
