the pain i know sings by graemestevens

the pain i know sings

I had been of two minds about posting this image, but it seems appropriate today as we discovered that a very, very close friend, one who fits in to the "without whom" category, has been diagnosed with breast cancer that has spread to the spine.

Very powerful image reflecting your pain. I'm so sorry to read about your friend with cancer. My heart goes out to you and your friend.

This is a wonderful image! Times like these are as hard as those rocks, and our minds become as fuzzy as the effect around your figure, and as moving and emotional as the sea! But the light in the distance is what we have to hang on to!

Powerful image and powerful words from Judy, above. So true. Hang on to the light. So sorry to hear about your friend. :-(

sorry can't focus on the image when i hear the C word. Sounds like you will be there to support her and hopefully also provide some humour when needed. Sounds a bit inappropriate, but i know when my brother was dying it was his mates who were loud funny and irreverent were the tonic we all needed in such a shitty time. Thinking of you all

So sorry to hear your sad news Graeme. Your image is very powerful and so expressive that we can feel your pain. Judy’s @peterscherub2 words above say it better than I can.

I lost my best friend two years ago to colon cancer and still constantly think of telling her things first. All you can do is be present for them.
June 7th, 2018  
Graeme, I'm sorry. All the best and lots of energy for your friend! Sometimes a photo says more than words can express.
June 7th, 2018  
sad news, graeme. your image conveys the pain so well
June 7th, 2018  
@pistache Thanks very much :)

@joansmor Indeed - we'll be going to the UK shortly to do just that.
@pamknowler Thank you very much - great words indeed :)
@brigette Thank you - I knew you'd "get it". We'll be going to the UK sometime very soon to be there and provide a general sense of...well, Kim & Graeme-ness really...

@peterscherub2 Great words and very true - thank you very much :)
@joysfocus Thanks very much :)

The image - like the situation - appears dark and desolate... but here too there is light and looking forward. I'm glad she has you as her rocky promontory... a firm place to stand.
June 7th, 2018  
That is horrible news Graeme, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. This is a very moving image and conveys your message very well.
June 7th, 2018

No words ... It's like in the picture: huge space and overwhelming.
June 7th, 2018  
excellent photo...very sad news...echoed in many homes no doubt.
June 7th, 2018  
There are frankly no words. The big C word sucks. I'm so sorry it's been found once it's spread.
June 7th, 2018  
So tough and immeasurably painful. She'll need good friends .. feeling the pain together is part of it. Well expressed in your image. Take care.
June 7th, 2018  
No words to add to this wrenching turn of events. Your image conveys the emotions. Just very sad reading this..

@taffy It's difficult, as are the words, but thank you
@helenhall Thank you very much - it's a poor excuse to go to the UK but we'll be heading there sometime very soon
