Vandaag is Dana Reeve, weduwe van Christopher Reeve (Superman), overleden op 44 jarige leeftijd aan longkanker. Ik heb veel bewondering voor deze dappere vrouw.
Sommige mensen blijft niets bespaard.......

Ik was ook helemaal geschokt toen ik het net op de radio hoorde. Misschien ook omdat ze precies mijn leeftijd was en een zoon heeft van de leeftijd van mijn zoon. Dat arme joch!

Ik kan me helemaal inleven hoe die jongen zich moet voelen!!
Ik heb vorig jaar mijn moeder verloren die ook maar 45 mocht worden. Ik was dan wel 21 maar heb het er ook verschrikkelijk moeilijk mee gehad! (nog steeds wel af en toe!)
Ik hoop voor deze jongen dat hij een hechte band heeft met zijn familie en dat zij hem door deze verschrkkelijk moelijke tijd heen kunnen helpen.

Verschrikkelijk zeg. Ik heb haar en haar zoon vorig jaar nog in een uitzending van Oprah gezien. Zij hebben zoveel meegemaakt.
Dana Reeve, the widow of Christopher Reeve who worked tirelessly with her husband to improve treatment for spinal-cord injuries, has died of lung cancer. She was 44.
Reeve died late Monday, Kathy Lewis, president and CEO of the Christopher Reeve Foundation, said in a statement.
"On behalf of the entire Board of Directors and staff of the Christopher Reeve Foundation, we are extremely saddened by the death of Dana Reeve, whose grace and courage under the most difficult of circumstances was a source of comfort and inspiration to all of us," Lewis said. "Dana will always be remembered for her passion, strength and ceaseless courage that became her hallmark."
Reeve, a nonsmoker, announced her cancer battle last August, just 10 months after losing her husband. "Now, more than ever, I feel Chris with me as I face this challenge," she said at the time. "As always, I look to him as the ultimate example of defying the odds with strength, courage, and hope in the face of life's adversities."
Her announcement came at the end of a particularly difficult time, in which Reeve lost her mother following surgery for ovarian cancer, and Christopher in October 2004.
She seemed to be making progress in her battle against the disease, however, during one of her last public appearances in November, at a fund-raising gala in New York for the Christopher Reeve Foundation.
"I was married to a man who never gave up," she said. "He taught me so much about courage and about going forward. He really was in this with me."
At the time Dana's pal Susan Sarandon, said, "She sounds really good. She's in a great frame of mind."
Reeve stoically stood by her husband's side after a May 27, 1995, horse-riding accident left the Superman star a quadriplegic. Following Christopher’s death, she took over as head of the New Jersey-based Christopher Reeve Foundation, which works to raise money and awareness for spinal-cord injuries.
She and Christopher have a 13-year-old son, Will.
No funeral services have been announced. For more information on the Christopher Reeve Foundation, go to http://www.ChristopherReeve.org.

Armstrong comforts Dana Reeve's son
NEW YORK (AP) -- Lance Armstrong spent Wednesday morning comforting 13-year-old Will Reeve, less than two days after his mother, Dana Reeve, died of lung cancer.
"I would say that his spirits were pretty good considering that, in the last 18 months, he's lost his father, his mother and his grandmother," Armstrong told syndicated entertainment show "Inside Edition."
"In situations like this," Armstrong said, "all you can do is say, 'Hey buddy, I'm here if you want to go hang out, if you want to play games, whatever you want to do, I'm here.' "
Will's father, Christopher Reeve, died in October 2004 from complications from an infection. The former "Superman" actor was nearly totally paralyzed in a horse-riding accident in 1995.
Armstrong said he became close to Will during his mother's illness and the two spent time together during the last few months.
"I love hanging with him," the cyclist said. "I never thought I'd say that about a 13-year-old, but he's a great kid. He's a big sports fan. He's an athlete himself. Will is not your normal 13-year-old. He's a smart, well-adjusted, mature, humble kid."
Dana Reeve was her husband's constant companion and supporter during the ordeal of his rehabilitation, winning worldwide admiration. With him, she became an activist in the search for a cure for spinal-cord injuries. (Watch Dana Reeve's obituary -- 1:52)

Hier zijn geen woorden voor, 44 jaar pas!!!. 't Is natuurlijk op elke leeftijd vreselijk. En wat een ellende voor dat ventje van 13. Wat een vreselijke ziekte is het toch.
Enkele weken hoorde ik van mijn badmintonmaatje (51 jaar) dat bij haar ook longkanker is geconstateerd. Ik kan er met m'n pet niet bij!
