Josie, sixteen, died yesterday at home surrounded by her parents and siblings.
"The Grove family would like to thank all of those who gave what can only be described as overwhelming support during her final months and which helped give her strength and courage to carry on during her illness"
2. My deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Josie Groves. I can only hope that, the road ahead of you will be easier than the one you were just on.
As for Josie, I see her in a different place and time, without pain and suffering, almost like being reborn. Bless her heart, she fought hard for two and one half yrs. I respect her, and her decision.
She will live on through you, and your memories of her. When losing my friends to cancer, this is how I managed to pull through the hard times, trying to understand why, just made it that much more difficult, and I was bitter and angry.
But, when I could feel in my heart, that they are free of pain, with not an ounce of suffering, I actually felt a sense of relief for them, and myself.
My best wishes to all, this too shall pass.
With care, Jason
Everyone deals with loss in different ways. What ever works for you is what you need to do.

"The Breuss Cancer Cure" [ISBN 0-920470-56-4] available, since 1996, from bookshops worldwide & online [and is free, at libraries, in every NHS district] ... Quoting Rudolph Breuss at page 2 of the book [which includes a specific chapter on leukaemia] "...How many people have benefited from the Breuss treatment? To be on the conservative side, I estimate that up to 1986 about 40,000 patients who had cancer or other seemingly incurable diseases regained their health. If cancer research organisations and orthodox medicine were with me, instead of against me, perhaps the success rate would be in the millions by now..." Please discuss, in relation to BBC.co.uk quote: "...after a series of gruelling treatments had failed ... the talented artist and swimmer said: "I've had enough of hospitals ... "A course of drugs I took in September left me feeling ill, shaky and aching, and it didn't do much to fight the cancer."... after a two-and-a-half-year battle with leukaemia ... " and the question as to: When, in Josie Grove's case, the Breuss '42 day' liquidiet treatment was ever offered to Josie [by our NHS] during more than [2 x 365 + 182] '912 days', since the initial diagnosis?
