This is an understatement. In this hard time you opened your heart ❤ to others and WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH LADY WARRIOR! My heart ❤ is with all and 😢 it so sucks.
I can't believe this was just one month ago and now you're gone. So many prayers for Josh and the kids. I'll miss your sweet voice. You were a light to the world!
Oh my goodness Sarah, don’t ever apologize for, as you say, being a downer. We are your safe place. You can say anything you need to say. 🙏🙏 for you for some answers.
My dad went 6 weeks from diagnosis to death. He almost no symptoms prior. I think being scared is more than justified and normal. All you can do is be honest. Don't worry about us, just your family. Honesty is your and compassion are your friends. You're in our prayers.
Same happened to my nephew who was only 48. He went to the doctor with a swollen knee and after tests the hospital found his cancer was in major organs and his brain. They couldn’t help him and found a hospice for him. It was so shocking. Awful. Sarah is a very special lady.
Thinking of you, from Australia… We are all here for you Sarah. Dont ever apologise for being a ‘downer’.. this is youre place, and you be as real, and down as much as you need to be.. you, Josh, and youre family are in my thoughts, and prayers
Oh Sarah. You are allowed to have emotions and be scared. You have handled this horrific cancer, like very few would or could. You are such an amazing lady. Strength to all of you ❤
I’m so glad that this popped up in my feed today because I really needed to be reminded of how special & precious Sarah is! We will keep your memory alive Sarah & continue to spread your message around the globe & I promise that you will never forgotten! Be kind & make good choices 🫠❤🫶🏻 Susan from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 I miss your beautiful smile & your angelic voice! 7:14
Dear Sarah, I am not a devout Christian, but today I am praying. I pray with all my soul that you and your family will come out of this nightmare and have many more beautiful years together - with all the travels you want so much. You are in my heart. ❤💚❤
Romans 10: 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.…If you can do that, you are a devout Christian believing the Power over sin and death was conquered and you have eternal life.
Sarah, with that light in your eyes and smile on your face, you still have good days ahead. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, so you take life one day at a time. You still have that bright and fighting spirit, despite the fears and sorrows, and that will make each day a blessing to you and those you love. Hang in there. You are an amazing woman.
Sarah you wouldn't be human if you weren't scared, I can't comprehend how scary this news is/has been. You're an extraordinary woman, wife, mother and human and none of this is fair. Your doctor is fighting hard in your corner and that can only be good. Hang in there and know a lot of people you've never met care a lot about you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think any of us would be scared, Sarah! Please don’t apologize! We were hoping for better news too but I’m still praying for a miracle! God does do miracles! 🙏❤️🙏
Believe me, I understand cancer well! My husband had lung cancer, that went to bone and brain. Cancer patients are a rare group of heroes!! I am so impressed with your courage, and u are courageous!! Keep on keeping on!! My prayers are without cease!! I'm proud of u!
Her video came across my feed, and it breaks my heart knowing that she’s now resting in the arms of the Lord. I know she is now pain free & cancer free, but so wish she could have been cancer free here on earth with her family. Rest in peace & love always, Sarah. 🙏🏻❤️
Same here, this showed up on my feed today too & I’m certainly NOT complaining about it either because every time I hear Sarah’s voice & see her beautiful face it truly makes my heart happy ❤️ We love you deeply & we promise to keep your memory alive & spread your message around the world so everyone will know you are & what an amazing woman, wife, mother, sister, aunt, cousin & friend! Be kind & make good choices! Susan from Toronto Canada 🙏🏼❤🇨🇦 We miss you so very much Sarah 🫠
Sarah look how many of our hearts you have touched!! You made a difference in our lives and taught us grace, humility, strength,kindness,truth and love!! Yes Sarah YOU made a difference! ❤️. So while you have the clarity of mind have conversations with EACH family member NOW!! No regrets or words unsaid…. Hugs! 🥰🇨🇦🙏🏼🦋
Oh Sarah. I can’t even imagine how scared you are. It is the most awful situation to be in for you all. God give you the strength to continue to fight this awful disease. Never apologise for how you are feeling, let it out, we are here for you! Sending blessings to you all. 💕
You are such a beautiful soul. I am looking forward to my final home in heaven. We are always so afraid to leave this world, but where we came from is so much more awesome then we can ever imagine. There is nothing to fear. Heaven is for real. But while you are still with us, we all want the very best for you, and we pray for a miracle. Much love and many prayers.
Oh dear Sarah, we are only here to be of comfort to you or help in any way. You owe us absolutely nothing, no pleasantries, no smiling faces, not even any updates if you don’t feel up to it. Let us hold you as close as we can and we will continue to pray that you will have many, many good days ahead. 💕😘
Sarah, I am so sorry for this diagnosis. This would indeed be scary. Psalm 56:3 says”Whenever I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. “. God will help us to trust him no matter what. He still does heal today! He will give us hope and courage if we seek him and his strength and love for us. I’m praying for you now. 🌹
Of course you are scared. Do not apologize for these sad, frustrating, scared feelings. You are sooo strong. I am praying for you, sending hope, and love! ❤🙏🫂
Sarah, please don't worry about being a "downer" - you are not!. You are merely sharing your life story with us - and right now it is tough - so it is OK to share with us the tough times. Just as a side note, I have to say, as sick as you are - your skin is gorgeous - absolutely flawless! Just take one day at a time - that is enough.
So sorry my dear. Cancer is awful. Can't imagine how you are feeling. Just know we are all with you. We lost our only Son a year ago & our only Daughter died. Of kidney failure. Life is not fair. Lots of Love 💘 from Africa 🌍 XXxX 💝 xxx xxx 🎈🐘.
I have been with several of my children, my mom, and others diagnosed with a stage 4 cancer. Different places of the body and different types but in EVERY case, just hearing the word cancer caused my breath to catch. Hearing that the cancer has grown to stage 4 is like a gut punch! I don't have the ability to imagine how the patient feels. And Sarah! Dang if the hoops you are being kicked through already aren't so numbingly stressful ! without the options being yanked away.! Your sweetness and honesty are amazing given your journey so far. There has to be more the professionals can do for you 😢
It's okay to feel all the emotions that you currently feel. I'm sure there is a wave of things that you are currently experiencing. I don't know you, but I am virtually hugging you. This just breaks my heart.
I know you are scared, but I don't want you to feel hopeless. None of us know how much time we have left to live. You may have years. My son lived three years beyond his projected demise. No doctor knows for sure and we certainly don't. Love and prayers.
Sarah, you are the most positive person on TH-cam. We’re so sorry to hear about your news. Completely sorry. We’re pulling for you and it isn’t fair!!!
You are entitled to feel however you feel. You don’t need to pretend that you are doing better than you are. I’m glad the medication change is making you feel more comfortable. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
We love you Sarah. I’m sorry your going through this. I know this is scary but even through the fear I can see your strength! Sending you and the family hugs.💛🫂 💛
Hi Sarah…Glad to hear your meds have changed and you feel better. You are not a downer at all! Cancer sucks! Take the good things as they come!! Your niece has a wedding shower coming up and sharing her happiness will be wonderful! Praying for you each and every day, Sarah! Sending big hugs! ❤🙏🏻❤️
Oh Sarah. Contrary to what you may think, you are NOT being a downer. I don’t think any of us hit the “subscribe” button on this channel expecting that you would only give us the ‘everything is coming up roses’ view of your cancer journey. We are thankful for the moments of joy we see you have on here, such as the recent family trip. But we appreciate your honest perspective of how you are feeling physically and emotionally. That’s not being a downer. That’s being honest. We appreciate you and continue to pray for you.
God bless your heart 💔 I pray for the Lord to hold & comfort you & your family. I just went thru this with the only sister I had. It wasn’t melanoma tho. I took her to doctor for a cough that I knew had lasted way too long. Just days after that doctor visit, we was sitting in doc office for a conference fir results of her biopsy. Doc said I’m sorry, but you have stage 4 small cell lung cancer. It’s inoperable, & it’s terminal. Get your affairs in order, we can give you intensive chemo that may give u a little more time. I took a leave of absence & moved her in with me. I wanted to take care of her 24/7, which I did. I buried her Christmas. I still feel like I’m in shock. I just found your channel & im glad I did. Sending you all the love, light, & prayers that I can. God bless you & your family 🙏🙏
I keep hearing your kitty in the back ground. At first I thought it was my cat. I kept looking at her like what's wrong with you? Then I figured it out. Lol.
Sweet Sarah, everyone fears the unknown. This is what our minister told my daughter-in-law who passed of colon cancer at 26 years old. I raised her daughter and she was so brave. So all that you feel is so real. You are not a downer you are a beautiful person and you win either way if you are granted more time thank God and if not God knows what is best. Don’t give up always push for more but know that God loves you and will always watch over your family. Be strong and remember The Lord has the final say. Put your trust in him. He always does what is best for his children. He died a horrible death so that we might get forgiveness for our sins. I can’t think of anyone that ever loved me that much. Praying for you always.
About 30 minutes ago I was arguing with my 16 year old daughter because she drank my last Diet Coke. I got myself a glass of ice water, sat down on the couch, & logged onto TH-cam. This video came on. I immediately went upstairs to my daughter's room. She had no idea what was going on as I stood there hugging her, while crying & telling her how much I love her. Put down your phone. Get off your computer. Turn the TV off. Remove all the distractions & love your people. Go right now & tell them how much you love them & how important they are in your life. Life truly is not about the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away. Collect moments, not things.
Sweetheart, you are NOT a downer. You are facing the future with courage. I am a devout Christian and am praying for you and your family all the time. Never apologize, love 😢
I love you, stay Awesome Sarah!! I suffer with Seizures & they wear you right out!! Hugs& Prayers 🤗, I feel your upset!! Much love to you and your family 🇨🇦💕 I love your Cat 😺🐈, I look after 10 everyday!! Pets are good for your soul.
Thank you Lord Jesus for the kindness that has flooded Sarah’s life from her TH-cam family. You all restore my faith in humanity. God bless you all. ❤ RIP dear Sarah ❤
Hi Sarah, new subscriber here. Firstly, I’m so sorry, your cancer journey is certainly a rough one. Wrapping you in a huge hug and surrounding you with love. My advise, get the hard conversations out of the way with then carry on living your life taking pleasure, smiling and laughing where you can. One of my favourite poems is “footprints in the sand”, you are never alone. love, prayers and best wishes ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@oilfreeara277 I wanted to write the same comment but wasn’t sure how it would be perceived. Don’t think there is a person out there who enjoys having this kind of conversation but it is necessary. I am 70 yrs old and have stage IV OC. I have had that difficult conversation with my brothers, sisters and my best friends as I am single without children. At least now I can enjoy the time I have left and my loved ones know what my wishes are.
Dear Sarah, I can say I know how scared you are because I have stage IV OC and I have had that difficult conversation. Please don’t waste time putting it off. You are so young and that breaks my heart. I am 70 yrs old and am in awe of how you are handling this dreadful situation. There is nothing anybody can say that will make it easier. You will notice once you manage to talk about the elephant in the room you will feel so much better. I have been there. I know we are not the same but please don’t put if off. Wishing you strength to tackle this. A warm virtual hug.
@@ritaweltevreden5596 Hi Rita, sorry to hear your battling stage 4 cancer. My mother had cancer for many many years, towards the end, she tackled all the difficult conversations and indeed planed her own funeral. Then we put all of it to the side and continued living, my mother was a very social much loved woman. I spent the last 3 months with her, driving her all over France from one party to the next, we laughed and had the best time. Though of course there were difficulties, there were also many good times. I cherish that time and the memories I have. Point being, I was so grateful we’d tackled all the difficult stuff and that I knew exactly what she wanted. Sending you love, prayers & best wishes for many great days ahead of you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@oilfreeara277 thank you so much! So glad to hear that you and your mother had some really good times. Forgot to mention that Footsteps in the sand is also one of my favorite poems. It is so good to know that when it all becomes too hard to bear He carries us. Wishing you all the best.
Your husband is doing a Stirling job in your absence, just stay as strong as you always have been and I would love to hear better news as well, life just sucks, sending you love and strength💕💕
People battling cancer are so strong and so amazing. To want to continue the battle with all the struggles that come with a cancer journey is hard to imagine but just puts into perspective how much they want to continue to live and thrive and do the normal things that we take for granted as a well person. You are amazing Sarah. Never apologise for anything. Sharing your journey helps so many people, including me. I found you after I lost my mum to cancer and was questioning things I had done or could have done better….. you helped me see that what we did do is exactly what we should have done. So thank you. Thinking of you, Josh, kids and the rest of your family.
But you don't have to " have these conversations". Do what you like and feel, and if you feel, don't pressure yourself. You're an amazing soul, we appreciate you.
Now is the time to make your wishes known. Not just because you have cancer, but everyone needs to have those hard conversations. It will help give you peace of mind. So glad that you are more comfortable.
Sarah, you are not a downer. You are a real person with true feelings. We all understand that you are scared and sad. ❤️ Sending lots of love from Sweden! ❤️
Sarah, we love you and will never stop praying for you, Josh, and your littles. My family is praying for peace, grace, and mercy. Take it day by day, hour by hour, and even minute by minute. Whatever it takes. You are surrounded with love and prayers from all across the globe. ❤️🙏❤️
I seldom comment on any video, but I feel so close to you and Josh. You are in my prayers!! You’re not a downer you are realistic and need to be prepared to do what you need to do for you Josh and your kids.
I just had to come back and see her. I have never seen her in person but from hearing her voice ; I can feel the warmth from her soul radiating through the screen.
Sarah... PLEASE prepare for the worse case scenario! I know you are scared.... and you have every right to be scared... BUT, you have to prepare for what is, most likely, next... continue to hope for a miracle... BUT, you have to prepare! Huge hugs to you and Josh.
Sarah you are correct end of life conversation is hard but needed. Most of all the thought of leaving your children before they are at at least teenagers tough. 😢😢😢. Scary is correct Cancer a robber of life
Never apologize for your feelings. We’re all here for you as an extended family so say whatever you feel in your heart to say. I for one am praying for a miracle. ❤
That bed your in looks like a comfy cozy place to be - perhaps Josh and the kids can snuggle up with you and read to you some good books - make that family time - share thoughts and memories - or just be still in the moment - God is watching over you in this storm - May He give you both peace and comfort - May you feel his love surround you - Your wonderful kindhearted personality shines thru - You always tell us to be kind and make good choices - Your a friend we all love -
Sarah everyone no matter how tough has their limits and you my girl have had to make so many adjustments in such a short time. Rest breath take stock regroup. Writing stuff down over just a couple of days (you can go back and edit any change of mind later) is absolutely traumatic and distressing and would leave anyone drained. It gets a lot of emotion and tears out all in one go and can feel like a weight lifted and strangely enough it can be very therapeutic and freeing Then just take each new dawn and adventure as it comes hopefully finding love and joy along the way. Sending love hugs and prayers 💖💞🙏 XXX
You’ve no idea how special your family is to us. I’ve been praying for all of you nonstop. Your feelings are valid, and let’s keep the hope for good news. 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Oh Sarah, I am so sorry for you! Please know that you inspire me greatly! I have a lot of anxiety over I don’t know what, and it limits a lot of what I do. And every day I think of you and think: Sarah wants nothing more than to enjoy life. And you are physically able to, so get off your butt and screw anxiety! And it’s making me actually go out and do things! You are always on my mind. And I hope with all my soul that you can go out and enjoy life again soon too ❤
Although I appreciate what you're saying, please don't dismiss/belittle mental health problems. They can be just as debilitating, horribly painful (and fatal) as physical health problems.
Oh My Gosh, no not at all! Trust me, I’ve suffered from mental health problems for 8 years and have many friends that do (some far worse than me). This will by no means work for everyone. I just wanted to highlight that she’s indirectly helping me personally
Hi Sarah, thank you for taking the time for this video, I was happy to see you. 🤗 I m sorry you re scared and sad. I would like to be able to take it all away for you. What I can do if sending you lots of love, and praying for you to get better, and enjoy a lot of good moments. ❤❤❤❤❤ Love to all!
Oh sweet Sarah this is so not fair! Being a nurse I have had a lot of cancer patients and it is not fair one bit. I will continue praying for your family. I pray for many blessings for you and your family. Love and prayers!
Hi Sarah, it is so good to see you sitting up and at home after your long day yesterday in the ER. I am glad that you and Josh are having some good heart to heart talks. Its especially good right now for you guys to be on the same page. Plus once you get these issues discussed you can focus on other things that are important to you. I am so sorry that things have taken this turn dear one. When you start to feel afraid, just remember that from the very beginning of your cancer journey, until now, you have been shown what to do one step at a time. We all love you so much and are keeping you in our prayers. You are a beautiful person, inside and out!
My dear Sarah, you are not a "downer" - You are a strong, beautiful woman who has been dealt a terrible blow. I thank God you have been blessed with your supportive and loving husband. God bless you, dear one.
Still helping people! My sister is just beginning treatment for glioblastoma. It’s the unknown that scares her as she begins her standard of care treatment.
Sarah: You were never a "downer", just the opposite! God has you in his arms now and you are in paradise. Your family is fine, due in part to the fact that you prepared them. You were amazing, just amazing!
She always thought her news was bringing people down. LoL even her sad videos brought us happiness because of that smile, and her crazy ability to bring joy and light in.
Sometimes we go through life and feel sorry for ourselves because we had a bad day at work or something went wrong, I watch your videos and I know those aren’t problems, they are hardly minor irritations. My heart is broken knowing what you are going through. So in spite of wanting just the right words to say, I will say again, I am praying for you to have strength and healing. You have so many people praying for you. 🙏🏻
Definitely has changed my perspective moving forward. I will not forget these moments, especially when I have a “bad” day down the road… But, I also think it’s very important that an average bad day for someone shouldn’t be minimized because it’s not as bad as someone else’s bad day. No need to compare right? I’m really trying to hang on to Be Kind and Make Good Choices… Mostly the be kind part.
Your feelings are completely normal. Please don’t feel you can’t be honest with them. I continue to keep you and your families in my prayers. You all deserve better than this horrible disease
I don't have cancer but I do have Lewy Body Dementia with Parkinson's and I'm 58. I know the fear hon and I know there's no answer. But if you can set aside that fear momentarily and put your wishes to paper and pen this will help Josh. I am in the process of doing these very things before I'm not able to. Things are getting a bit tougher for me but I've decided today to laugh when I can and enjoy all my 🍰 and ice cream ha ha 🍨🍦 Hugs and love Sarah ❤️🤗
Diane here dear Sarah - heart, your heart is sooo big, it has all of us in it. You and Josh work out you. Hug the kids, love the sunshine, make the best days possible and we will carry you with us through our days.
Darling Sarah. You’re so amazing articulating all this with us. You’re a wonderful person x Please Lord please May Sarah feel Your presence with her. Grant her Your strength and peace. Amen 🙏
I wish I had the right words to comfort. Getting those difficult conversations and plans out of the way can also be a relief after it's all done. Doesn't mean they will be used right away, just means you do not have to think about them anymore. It is the type of planning we all should do for the sake of our love ones, whether or not we are facing the difficulties you are facing. I agree with a comment from jenjackmarcucci when they wrote, "you are extraordinary".
I'm so happy to see your face and hear you talk. It is scary not seeing you and hearing Josh talk with the concern in his voice. You are truly amazing. I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through but in spite of everything, you are the sweetest and bravest person I know. Anyone would be scared but in spite of that you are always looking for positives, solutions and making plans for the future. Sarah you are loved. Hold tight to all the people who are praying for you. Miracles do happen.
Sarah, you make such a BIG difference in this world. Your gentle soul, honesty, openness, and are certainly a bright light. CANCER SUCKS! You are loved so very much! Many prayers going up for you & yours
You have every right to be scared! As soon as you hear the word Cancer in life, you think the worst, but I’m a Christian and have had Cancer and I believe in Miracles from God and I’m praying for a Miracle for you Sarah!❤️🙏
It’s so much to take in, Sarah. I can’t imagine how hard this must be. We all go the same direction but you are way to young and it breaks my heart for you, Josh and the kids. Don’t ever feel like you’re a downer. You have every right to have any emotion that comes up and we are here for you, no matter what. I hope your oncologist can figure out something that will give you more time. All my love and a big hug to you.❤ Anne
I’m sorry Sarah but I am so happy you have a wonderful husband and family around you. It’s good to look forward to your nieces shower. I truly hope you can go. I am so sorry you are going through this. It’s sad and I’m sad for you. Do not apologize for being down it’s your right to feel this way. Know I pray for you and God bless you! Sending hugs and love 💕 xxxx 💕🌻
Sara, YOU COULD NEVER, NEVER, NEVER BE A DOWNER!!! You are so loved, and we all care so much about you! I still believe there has got to be some medicine combination to keep the cancer from spreading more. I wish your doctor's appointment was sooner, but Tuesday is just around the corner--I'm anxious to hear what your doctor says. You are amazing and such an inspiration for a million reasons!!! Prayers and love sent from CA!!! 💛💛💛💛
Who still rewatches, to see her beautiful face and listen to her sweet voice 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Sometimes, when I’m up for it
I do and I’m rewatching every day. She was the most gorgeous and amazing lady ❤❤
You are NOT a ”downer”. Its an honor that you let us follow you during your hardest time 🙏🏻
This is an understatement. In this hard time you opened your heart ❤ to others and WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH LADY WARRIOR! My heart ❤ is with all and 😢 it so sucks.
Absolutely agree.
@@janetdriscoll9277Me also.
Cancer is a cruel, vicious, unrelenting thief. You are extraordinary, Sarah.❤
🌬🤞I Agree 1000%
I truly love Sarah 😢I feel like I meet her and she's my best friend.
Stronger together
💪🤍💛💜💙💖💪 😇
You're so right. This just breaks my heart.
Agree!
So little people donate to cancer research.
And so many do donate, its never enough, no amt of money is ever enough!
I can't believe this was just one month ago and now you're gone. So many prayers for Josh and the kids. I'll miss your sweet voice. You were a light to the world!
Forever remembered, forever missed. 😥💔💙🦋
She was so brave. We know you’re not in pain anymore.
Dance with the angels now 💖
Oh my goodness Sarah, don’t ever apologize for, as you say, being a downer. We are your safe place. You can say anything you need to say. 🙏🙏 for you for some answers.
🙏 Amen
Absolutely ❤
Watching Sarah’s videos again to remember her wonderful personality and sheer goodness. RIP.
I’m on my own Cancer journey. I just want you to know that you’ve given me strength when I needed it. You are loved my Dear. Your family is so sweet.
My dad went 6 weeks from diagnosis to death. He almost no symptoms prior. I think being scared is more than justified and normal. All you can do is be honest. Don't worry about us, just your family. Honesty is your and compassion are your friends. You're in our prayers.
Same happened to my nephew who was only 48. He went to the doctor with a swollen knee and after tests the hospital found his cancer was in major organs and his brain. They couldn’t help him and found a hospice for him. It was so shocking. Awful.
Sarah is a very special lady.

Oh Sarah. You are allowed to have emotions and be scared. You have handled this horrific cancer, like very few would or could. You are such an amazing lady. Strength to all of you ❤
I’m so glad that this popped up in my feed today because I really needed to be reminded of how special & precious Sarah is! We will keep your memory alive Sarah & continue to spread your message around the globe & I promise that you will never forgotten! Be kind & make good choices 🫠❤🫶🏻 Susan from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 I miss your beautiful smile & your angelic voice! 7:14
Dear Sarah, I am not a devout Christian, but today I am praying. I pray with all my soul that you and your family will come out of this nightmare and have many more beautiful years together - with all the travels you want so much. You are in my heart. ❤💚❤
Amen
Romans 10: 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.…If you can do that, you are a devout Christian believing the Power over sin and death was conquered and you have eternal life.
Sarah, with that light in your eyes and smile on your face, you still have good days ahead. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, so you take life one day at a time. You still have that bright and fighting spirit, despite the fears and sorrows, and that will make each day a blessing to you and those you love. Hang in there. You are an amazing woman.
Sarah you wouldn't be human if you weren't scared, I can't comprehend how scary this news is/has been. You're an extraordinary woman, wife, mother and human and none of this is fair. Your doctor is fighting hard in your corner and that can only be good. Hang in there and know a lot of people you've never met care a lot about you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think any of us would be scared, Sarah! Please don’t apologize! We were hoping for better news too but I’m still praying for a miracle! God does do miracles! 🙏❤️🙏
no.. i'm not scared of death Death is Part of life.... i'll only feel pain for who i left in pain and wont be able to see the world grow
@@itsprimetime9865God Bless your precious heart beautiful Sarah. 🙏
My husband has stage 4 cancer. We are going to MD Anderson in Houston for a 2nd opinion. We are scared too.
Believe me, I understand cancer well! My husband had lung cancer, that went to bone and brain. Cancer patients are a rare group of heroes!! I am so impressed with your courage, and u are courageous!! Keep on keeping on!! My prayers are without cease!! I'm proud of u!
Her video came across my feed, and it breaks my heart knowing that she’s now resting in the arms of the Lord. I know she is now pain free & cancer free, but so wish she could have been cancer free here on earth with her family. Rest in peace & love always, Sarah. 🙏🏻❤️
Same here, this showed up on my feed today too & I’m certainly NOT complaining about it either because every time I hear Sarah’s voice & see her beautiful face it truly makes my heart happy ❤️ We love you deeply & we promise to keep your memory alive & spread your message around the world so everyone will know you are & what an amazing woman, wife, mother, sister, aunt, cousin & friend!

Sarah look how many of our hearts you have touched!! You made a difference in our lives and taught us grace, humility, strength,kindness,truth and love!! Yes Sarah YOU made a difference! ❤️. So while you have the clarity of mind have conversations with EACH family member NOW!! No regrets or words unsaid…. Hugs! 🥰🇨🇦🙏🏼🦋
So true ❤
This was a difficult conversation to have and I pray we can honor your wishes to be kind to others each day beautiful Sarah❤️🦋🙏
Oh Sarah. I can’t even imagine how scared you are. It is the most awful situation to be in for you all. God give you the strength to continue to fight this awful disease.
Never apologise for how you are feeling, let it out, we are here for you! Sending blessings to you all. 💕
You are such a beautiful soul. I am looking forward to my final home in heaven. We are always so afraid to leave this world, but where we came from is so much more awesome then we can ever imagine. There is nothing to fear. Heaven is for real. But while you are still with us, we all want the very best for you, and we pray for a miracle. Much love and many prayers.
Oh dear Sarah, we are only here to be of comfort to you or help in any way. You owe us absolutely nothing, no pleasantries, no smiling faces, not even any updates if you don’t feel up to it. Let us hold you as close as we can and we will continue to pray that you will have many, many good days ahead. 💕😘
Sarah, I am so sorry for this diagnosis. This would indeed be scary. Psalm 56:3 says”Whenever I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. “. God will help us to trust him no matter what. He still does heal today! He will give us hope and courage if we seek him and his strength and love for us. I’m praying for you now. 🌹
Of course you are scared. Do not apologize for these sad, frustrating, scared feelings. You are sooo strong. I am praying for you, sending hope, and love! ❤🙏🫂
It sounds like your teams are pulling out all the stops to get you back on track! Continuing the prayers for you and your family. 🪻⚘️🪻⚘️🪻⚘️🪻
Sarah, please don't worry about being a "downer" - you are not!. You are merely sharing your life story with us - and right now it is tough - so it is OK to share with us the tough times. Just as a side note, I have to say, as sick as you are - your skin is gorgeous - absolutely flawless! Just take one day at a time - that is enough.
So sorry my dear. Cancer is awful. Can't imagine how you are feeling. Just know we are all with you. We lost our only Son a year ago & our only Daughter died. Of kidney failure. Life is not fair. Lots of Love 💘 from Africa 🌍 XXxX 💝 xxx xxx 🎈🐘.
I have been with several of my children, my mom, and others diagnosed with a stage 4 cancer. Different places of the body and different types but in EVERY case, just hearing the word cancer caused my breath to catch. Hearing that the cancer has grown to stage 4 is like a gut punch!
I don't have the ability to imagine how the patient feels.
And Sarah! Dang if the hoops you are being kicked through already aren't so numbingly stressful ! without the options being yanked away.!
Your sweetness and honesty are amazing given your journey so far.
There has to be more the professionals can do for you 😢
How heartbreaking 💔 I am scared for you too 😢 it must be so terrifying. I pray that God give you peace 🙏
It's okay to feel all the emotions that you currently feel. I'm sure there is a wave of things that you are currently experiencing. I don't know you, but I am virtually hugging you. This just breaks my heart.
I know you are scared, but I don't want you to feel hopeless. None of us know how much time we have left to live. You may have years. My son lived three years beyond his projected demise. No doctor knows for sure and we certainly don't. Love and prayers.
Sarah, you are the most positive person on TH-cam. We’re so sorry to hear about your news. Completely sorry. We’re pulling for you and it isn’t fair!!!
You are entitled to feel however you feel. You don’t need to pretend that you are doing better than you are. I’m glad the medication change is making you feel more comfortable. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
We love you Sarah. I’m sorry your going through this. I know this is scary but even through the fear I can see your strength! Sending you and the family hugs.💛🫂 💛
Love you too April! Thank you!
Hi Sarah…Glad to hear your meds have changed and you feel better.
You are not a downer at all! Cancer sucks!
Take the good things as they come!! Your niece has a wedding shower coming up and sharing her happiness will be wonderful!
Praying for you each and every day, Sarah! Sending big hugs!
❤🙏🏻❤️
Oh Sarah. Contrary to what you may think, you are NOT being a downer. I don’t think any of us hit the “subscribe” button on this channel expecting that you would only give us the ‘everything is coming up roses’ view of your cancer journey. We are thankful for the moments of joy we see you have on here, such as the recent family trip. But we appreciate your honest perspective of how you are feeling physically and emotionally. That’s not being a downer. That’s being honest. We appreciate you and continue to pray for you.
God bless your heart 💔 I pray for the Lord to hold & comfort you & your family. I just went thru this with the only sister I had. It wasn’t melanoma tho. I took her to doctor for a cough that I knew had lasted way too long. Just days after that doctor visit, we was sitting in doc office for a conference fir results of her biopsy. Doc said I’m sorry, but you have stage 4 small cell lung cancer. It’s inoperable, & it’s terminal. Get your affairs in order, we can give you intensive chemo that may give u a little more time. I took a leave of absence & moved her in with me. I wanted to take care of her 24/7, which I did. I buried her Christmas. I still feel like I’m in shock. I just found your channel & im glad I did. Sending you all the love, light, & prayers that I can. God bless you & your family 🙏🙏
I keep hearing your kitty in the back ground. At first I thought it was my cat. I kept looking at her like what's wrong with you? Then I figured it out. Lol.
Me too 😂
Sweet Sarah, everyone fears the unknown. This is what our minister told my daughter-in-law who passed of colon cancer at 26 years old. I raised her daughter and she was so brave. So all that you feel is so real. You are not a downer you are a beautiful person and you win either way if you are granted more time thank God and if not God knows what is best. Don’t give up always push for more but know that God loves you and will always watch over your family. Be strong and remember The Lord has the final say. Put your trust in him. He always does what is best for his children. He died a horrible death so that we might get forgiveness for our sins. I can’t think of anyone that ever loved me that much. Praying for you always.
Love you! and the whole Pog family ❤❤❤❤❤❤
About 30 minutes ago I was arguing with my 16 year old daughter because she drank my last Diet Coke. I got myself a glass of ice water, sat down on the couch, & logged onto TH-cam. This video came on. I immediately went upstairs to my daughter's room. She had no idea what was going on as I stood there hugging her, while crying & telling her how much I love her. Put down your phone. Get off your computer. Turn the TV off. Remove all the distractions & love your people. Go right now & tell them how much you love them & how important they are in your life. Life truly is not about the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away. Collect moments, not things.
I’m going to go share this with Sarah right now!!!!
I love you Sarah and your family. This is all so heartbreaking 💔. I am continuing my prayers everyday 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sweetheart, you are NOT a downer. You are facing the future with courage. I am a devout Christian and am praying for you and your family all the time. Never apologize, love 😢
I love you, stay Awesome Sarah!! I suffer with Seizures & they wear you right out!! Hugs& Prayers 🤗, I feel your upset!! Much love to you and your family 🇨🇦💕 I love your Cat 😺🐈, I look after 10 everyday!! Pets are good for your soul.
Your not a downer,you are sharing the truth of cancer and not sugar coating it ,💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
RIP lovely Sarah❤❤
Sarah, we are with you on this difficult journey. Please don’t ever apologize. I hope you feel better and you have my heart with you
Never apologize... It is our honour to take this journey with you and your family. 💙🧡🧡
Thank you Lord Jesus for the kindness that has flooded Sarah’s life from her TH-cam family. You all restore my faith in humanity. God bless you all. ❤ RIP dear Sarah ❤
Hi Sarah, new subscriber here. Firstly, I’m so sorry, your cancer journey is certainly a rough one. Wrapping you in a huge hug and surrounding you with love. My advise, get the hard conversations out of the way with then carry on living your life taking pleasure, smiling and laughing where you can. One of my favourite poems is “footprints in the sand”, you are never alone. love, prayers and best wishes ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Appreciate you joining our little community, and the kind words. ❤️
@oilfreeara277 I wanted to write the same comment but wasn’t sure how it would be perceived. Don’t think there is a person out there who enjoys having this kind of conversation but it is necessary. I am 70 yrs old and have stage IV OC. I have had that difficult conversation with my brothers, sisters and my best friends as I am single without children. At least now I can enjoy the time I have left and my loved ones know what my wishes are.
Dear Sarah, I can say I know how scared you are because I have stage IV OC and I have had that difficult conversation. Please don’t waste time putting it off. You are so young and that breaks my heart. I am 70 yrs old and am in awe of how you are handling this dreadful situation. There is nothing anybody can say that will make it easier. You will notice once you manage to talk about the elephant in the room you will feel so much better. I have been there. I know we are not the same but please don’t put if off. Wishing you strength to tackle this. A warm virtual hug.
@@ritaweltevreden5596 Hi Rita, sorry to hear your battling stage 4 cancer. My mother had cancer for many many years, towards the end, she tackled all the difficult conversations and indeed planed her own funeral. Then we put all of it to the side and continued living, my mother was a very social much loved woman. I spent the last 3 months with her, driving her all over France from one party to the next, we laughed and had the best time. Though of course there were difficulties, there were also many good times. I cherish that time and the memories I have. Point being, I was so grateful we’d tackled all the difficult stuff and that I knew exactly what she wanted. Sending you love, prayers & best wishes for many great days ahead of you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@oilfreeara277 thank you so much! So glad to hear that you and your mother had some really good times. Forgot to mention that Footsteps in the sand is also one of my favorite poems. It is so good to know that when it all becomes too hard to bear He carries us. Wishing you all the best.
Your husband is doing a Stirling job in your absence, just stay as strong as you always have been and I would love to hear better news as well, life just sucks, sending you love and strength💕💕
People battling cancer are so strong and so amazing. To want to continue the battle with all the struggles that come with a cancer journey is hard to imagine but just puts into perspective how much they want to continue to live and thrive and do the normal things that we take for granted as a well person. You are amazing Sarah. Never apologise for anything. Sharing your journey helps so many people, including me. I found you after I lost my mum to cancer and was questioning things I had done or could have done better….. you helped me see that what we did do is exactly what we should have done. So thank you. Thinking of you, Josh, kids and the rest of your family.
But you don't have to " have these conversations". Do what you like and feel, and if you feel, don't pressure yourself.
You're an amazing soul, we appreciate you.
Now is the time to make your wishes known. Not just because you have cancer, but everyone needs to have those hard conversations. It will help give you peace of mind. So glad that you are more comfortable.
Sarah, you are not a downer. You are a real person with true feelings. We all understand that you are scared and sad. ❤️
Sending lots of love from Sweden! ❤️
Sarah, we love you and will never stop praying for you, Josh, and your littles. My family is praying for peace, grace, and mercy. Take it day by day, hour by hour, and even minute by minute. Whatever it takes. You are surrounded with love and prayers from all across the globe. ❤️🙏❤️
You are so strong Sarah god bless you and your family xxxx much love always xxx
I seldom comment on any video, but I feel so close to you and Josh. You are in my prayers!! You’re not a downer you are realistic and need to be prepared to do what you need to do for you Josh and your kids.
I just had to come back and see her. I have never seen her in person but from hearing her voice ; I can feel the warmth from her soul radiating through the screen.
Sarah... PLEASE prepare for the worse case scenario! I know you are scared.... and you have every right to be scared... BUT, you have to prepare for what is, most likely, next... continue to hope for a miracle... BUT, you have to prepare! Huge hugs to you and Josh.
Cancer is a horrible desease to have it's so so cruel😢
Sarah,love from Serbia 🙏
There are more than 10,000 people praying for you, Sarah. xxxxxx
Sarah you are correct end of life conversation is hard but needed. Most of all the thought of leaving your children before they are at at least teenagers tough. 😢😢😢. Scary is correct Cancer a robber of life
Never apologize for your feelings. We’re all here for you as an extended family so say whatever you feel in your heart to say. I for one am praying for a miracle. ❤
I wish there were a way I could take this away, but all I can do is send good thoughts. Cancer sucks, F Cancer.
We are all sending prayers for a miracle healing!!!
We love you Sarah ❤❤. Get better. Your not a downer.we adore you. Love Carolyn and family
That bed your in looks like a comfy cozy place to be - perhaps Josh and the kids can snuggle up with you and read to you some good books - make that family time - share thoughts and memories - or just be still in the moment - God is watching over you in this storm - May He give you both peace and comfort - May you feel his love surround you - Your wonderful kindhearted personality shines thru - You always tell us to be kind and make good choices - Your a friend we all love -
Sarah everyone no matter how tough has their limits and you my girl have had to make so many adjustments in such a short time.
Rest breath take stock regroup.
Writing stuff down over just a couple of days (you can go back and edit any change of mind later) is absolutely traumatic and distressing and would leave anyone drained. It gets a lot of emotion and tears out all in one go and can feel like a weight lifted and strangely enough it can be very therapeutic and freeing
Then just take each new dawn and adventure as it comes hopefully finding love and joy along the way.
Sending love hugs and prayers 💖💞🙏 XXX
Wish I could hug you in person. Prayers and hugs from Ohio. You are constantly in my thoughts.
Sarah…God Bless you…You are a strong lady…One day at a time.🌹🌹🥰
You’ve no idea how special your family is to us. I’ve been praying for all of you nonstop. Your feelings are valid, and let’s keep the hope for good news. 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Oh Sarah, I am so sorry for you! Please know that you inspire me greatly! I have a lot of anxiety over I don’t know what, and it limits a lot of what I do. And every day I think of you and think: Sarah wants nothing more than to enjoy life. And you are physically able to, so get off your butt and screw anxiety! And it’s making me actually go out and do things! You are always on my mind. And I hope with all my soul that you can go out and enjoy life again soon too ❤
Although I appreciate what you're saying, please don't dismiss/belittle mental health problems. They can be just as debilitating, horribly painful (and fatal) as physical health problems.
Oh My Gosh, no not at all! Trust me, I’ve suffered from mental health problems for 8 years and have many friends that do (some far worse than me). This will by no means work for everyone. I just wanted to highlight that she’s indirectly helping me personally
We see you, and hear you! I don’t see anything belittling in your comment. I’m glad our story is helping you. ❤️🫶🏻❤️
Feel badly 😢 your so good natured.
Hi Sarah, thank you for taking the time for this video, I was happy to see you. 🤗 I m sorry you re scared and sad. I would like to be able to take it all away for you. What I can do if sending you lots of love, and praying for you to get better, and enjoy a lot of good moments. ❤❤❤❤❤
Love to all!
Oh sweet Sarah this is so not fair! Being a nurse I have had a lot of cancer patients and it is not fair one bit. I will continue praying for your family. I pray for many blessings for you and your family. Love and prayers!
Hi Sarah, it is so good to see you sitting up and at home after your long day yesterday in the ER. I am glad that you and Josh are having some good heart to heart talks. Its especially good right now for you guys to be on the same page. Plus once you get these issues discussed you can focus on other things that are important to you. I am so sorry that things have taken this turn dear one. When you start to feel afraid, just remember that from the very beginning of your cancer journey, until now, you have been shown what to do one step at a time. We all love you so much and are keeping you in our prayers. You are a beautiful person, inside and out!
My dear Sarah, you are not a "downer" - You are a strong, beautiful woman who has been dealt a terrible blow. I thank God you have been blessed with your supportive and loving husband. God bless you, dear one.
Oh Sarah…..I’m so sorry. I hate this. Cancer sucks! You are an incredible woman! So many hugs for you……….
Still helping people! My sister is just beginning treatment for glioblastoma. It’s the unknown that scares her as she begins her standard of care treatment.
The unknowns and waiting are the worst! We wish you the best, and are sending so much love your way!
Sarah: You were never a "downer", just the opposite! God has you in his arms now and you are in paradise. Your family is fine, due in part to the fact that you prepared them. You were amazing, just amazing!
She always thought her news was bringing people down. LoL even her sad videos brought us happiness because of that smile, and her crazy ability to bring joy and light in.
Praying 🙏
Sometimes we go through life and feel sorry for ourselves because we had a bad day at work or something went wrong, I watch your videos and I know those aren’t problems, they are hardly minor irritations. My heart is broken knowing what you are going through. So in spite of wanting just the right words to say, I will say again, I am praying for you to have strength and healing. You have so many people praying for you. 🙏🏻
Definitely has changed my perspective moving forward. I will not forget these moments, especially when I have a “bad” day down the road… But, I also think it’s very important that an average bad day for someone shouldn’t be minimized because it’s not as bad as someone else’s bad day. No need to compare right? I’m really trying to hang on to Be Kind and Make Good Choices… Mostly the be kind part.
Your feelings are completely normal. Please don’t feel you can’t be honest with them. I continue to keep you and your families in my prayers. You all deserve better than this horrible disease
Your such a beautiful soul Sarah. Your so young for this to happen to you.
I don't have cancer but I do have Lewy Body Dementia with Parkinson's and I'm 58. I know the fear hon and I know there's no answer. But if you can set aside that fear momentarily and put your wishes to paper and pen this will help Josh. I am in the process of doing these very things before I'm not able to. Things are getting a bit tougher for me but I've decided today to laugh when I can and enjoy all my 🍰 and ice cream ha ha 🍨🍦
Hugs and love Sarah ❤️🤗
Diane here dear Sarah - heart, your heart is sooo big, it has all of us in it. You and Josh work out you. Hug the kids, love the sunshine, make the best days possible and we will carry you with us through our days.
Darling Sarah. You’re so amazing articulating all this with us. You’re a wonderful person x Please Lord please May Sarah feel Your presence with her. Grant her Your strength and peace. Amen 🙏
I wish I had the right words to comfort. Getting those difficult conversations and plans out of the way can also be a relief after it's all done. Doesn't mean they will be used right away, just means you do not have to think about them anymore. It is the type of planning we all should do for the sake of our love ones, whether or not we are facing the difficulties you are facing. I agree with a comment from jenjackmarcucci when they wrote, "you are extraordinary".
I'm so happy to see your face and hear you talk. It is scary not seeing you and hearing Josh talk with the concern in his voice. You are truly amazing. I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through but in spite of everything, you are the sweetest and bravest person I know. Anyone would be scared but in spite of that you are always looking for positives, solutions and making plans for the future. Sarah you are loved. Hold tight to all the people who are praying for you. Miracles do happen.
Sarah despite what u have been thru & what u r dealing with u look & sound so good. Just wanted to say that to u.
Sarah, you make such a BIG difference in this world. Your gentle soul, honesty, openness, and are certainly a bright light.
CANCER SUCKS!
You are loved so very much!
Many prayers going up for you & yours
Your courage gives me hope.
Hold onto Jesus for your strength and peace. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
You have every right to be scared! As soon as you hear the word Cancer in life, you think the worst, but I’m a Christian and have had Cancer and I believe in Miracles from God and I’m praying for a Miracle for you Sarah!❤️🙏
It’s so much to take in, Sarah. I can’t imagine how hard this must be. We all go the same direction but you are way to young and it breaks my heart for you, Josh and the kids. Don’t ever feel like you’re a downer. You have every right to have any emotion that comes up and we are here for you, no matter what. I hope your oncologist can figure out something that will give you more time. All my love and a big hug to you.❤ Anne
I’m sorry Sarah but I am so happy you have a wonderful husband and family around you. It’s good to look forward to your nieces shower. I truly hope you can go. I am so sorry you are going through this. It’s sad and I’m sad for you. Do not apologize for being down it’s your right to feel this way. Know I pray for you and God bless you! Sending hugs and love 💕 xxxx 💕🌻
Sara, YOU COULD NEVER, NEVER, NEVER BE A DOWNER!!! You are so loved, and we all care so much about you! I still believe there has got to be some medicine combination to keep the cancer from spreading more. I wish your doctor's appointment was sooner, but Tuesday is just around the corner--I'm anxious to hear what your doctor says. You are amazing and such an inspiration for a million reasons!!! Prayers and love sent from CA!!! 💛💛💛💛
I really think Sarah is one strong lady to have dwelt with all she did. I really miss her beautiful face and beautiful voice.
