Its ok to be scared of dying alone, aren't we all 🙂

But I really I hope you know your life has left little fingerprints everywhere. On playlists, on inside jokes, on someone's favorite memory they don't tell anyone about. You are so connected even when it doesn't feel like it. To people you may not even know like me:)

If today feels heavy, do one tiny soft thing for yourself and remember, Your laugh, your kindness, the little ways you care people carry those with them. Also my names Michelle you may not know me but if that moment ever comes again, remember me an people — nurses, friends, even strangers in the metastatic breast cancer community who know exactly this fear — who would want to be part of your check-in circle if you let them.

May sound strange, but my biggest sadness is for friends and family who love me and will not have me anymore. I can't take care of them anymore. They'll be on their own.
If I died alone, that would be a grief that has spared me.
