<p>Even though it is incredibly foggy here, but I feel the warmth of sunrise trying to push through. Be at peace sunriseeast, coldad, sailingwest, and sunriseeast’s S2. Continued thank to sunrise’s IRL friends for sharing with us.</p>
<p>I just read this entire thread with so many tears I had to keep wiping them away just to see the screen.</p>
<p>I am soooo sorry. I too have been through Cancer and am Cancer-free at this time. I too have lost way too many friends to Cancer at a young age.</p>
<p>I am so sorry to sunriseeast’s husband and children and friends. I have not read through her post yet, but I plan to.</p>
<p>May G-d grant you peace and sustain you through this difficult moment in time. I will also light a yarzeit candle today and say a prayer for sunriseeast and your family. May you all find peace in the memories of your times together. Special prayers for her children and husband.</p>
<p>Continued thoughts and prayers for Sunrise and her loving family and friends. Peace and comfort to you all.</p>
<p>God bless this family. May they find courage and comfort. <><</p>
<p>I’ve been humming the mi shebeirach for sunrise all morning. Peace, my friend.</p>
<p>I lit my candle last night and said a prayer. Hugs to everyone needing support today and in Sunrise’s honor, find someone IRL, who needs comfort today, and give them a hug and some emotional support. (((<3)))</p>
<p>While I don’t know Sunrise IRL, I count her as one of my dear friends. I have spoken about her often and others believe she is someone I truly know. To her family and friends, I hope our virtual prayers and hugs can be felt and offer some comfort during this difficult time.</p>
<p>Peace be with you.</p>
<p>Another candle lit this morning…</p>
<p>momof3sons, I also saw that incredible fog this morning. Thank you for the image of sunrise pushing through it.</p>
<p>I’m new here and just heard of Sunrise’s journey this morning. Sending prayers for peace for Sunrise and her family.</p>
<p>Standing by with all of you, virtual and IRL, in this peaceful and holy place, at sunrise’s side.</p>
<p>Coming in late. Sunrise I wish you peace.</p>
<p>To Coldad and sailingwest and all her family, remember “grief is the price we pay for love”.</p>
<p>There are now 347 candles lit in 11 countries for Sunriseast :)</p>

<p>"Exultation is the going<br>
Of an inland soul to sea,—
Past the houses, past the headlands,<br>
Into deep eternity! </p>
<p>Bred as we, among the mountains,<br>
Can the sailor understand<br>
The divine intoxication
Of the first league out from land?" </p>
<p>Emily Dickinson</p>

<p>Another candle lit…may peace be with you.</p>
<p>I’m thinking of you sunrise, as I have been all day, from sun-up to sun-down. Peace be with you and your loved ones.</p>
<p>This may be the most touching thread I have ever read on any website ever.</p>
<p>I lit a candle and continue to pray for a gentle passing, surrounded by love. May her husband, sons and real life people feel the love coming from around the country and world for her.</p>
<p>I added a thought in the other forum that perhaps we can all do an act of kindness or help out a family dealing with a life threatening illness in Sunrise’s name. We could be an army of good for Sunrise. </p>

<p>I have followed these two threads, but never posted. I know there are many others like me, who have watched the brave fight. I hope I do not offend anyone’s religious beliefs if I repeat the writing attributed to Bishop Brent in England back in the 1800s, for those who may believe in a life beyond our understanding:</p>

<p>We had that printed on the booklet at my dad’s Funeral Mass…so beautiful an image.</p>
<p>We can imagine that those who’ve gone before Sunrise will be there for a loving greeting. </p>
<p>God bless Sunrise and her family.</p>
