People who have lost a loved one to breast cancer, Did you know you were going to loose them?

My sister (34) died of breast cancer this year. She had found out that she had stage 4 breast cancer just 2 months prior to her death.

I hadn't seen her in several years due to her cutting off contact with our parents and it was terrifying to see her like that. She seemed like a different person and no one had saw this coming. Everyone in both sides of our family live really long (well into the 90s) and no one's ever had any type of cancer. It was incomprehensible for this to be happening to someone so young and out of nowhere.

I had read that most women who are diagnosed before 40 have some sort of family history. This made no sense to me whatsoever. She had been a healthy person the last I saw her.

My sister was very agitated and angry that this was happening to her and that she never had the chance to properly live her life.

My mother was in denial and it was just a chaotic mess. Coupled with the fact that her fiancee was just waiting for her die as quickly as possible so he could get back to his new well paying job.

A few hours before she died she got really restless and her breathing had slowed down. Apparently after she died her almost mother in law pried out my sister's wedding ring out of her fingers and grabbed my sister's slippers from under her bed.

Soon after her fiancee had asked my mom to go with him to get my sister's bank stuff since they weren't technically married.
