My friend Petra- a slightly different obituary

We got to know each other when it was not easy for either of us. Both of us had just separated from our husbands, both of us were now single mothers. You with a teenage daughter, me with a toddler You were always so positive, so powerful and always full of humour. How many times did we talk on the phone for hours until the battery of the phone was empty.
I got a lot of good advice from you, every now and then you put my head in order. Never vicious, but always honest. And I also often enough with you, a good friendship can bear something like that You accompanied me through difficult times when I was at the bottom of the ladder, had to apply for Hartz IV, always stood by me and vice versa, I was there when you had to vacate your apartment because of the landlord's own needs.
We spent New Year's Eve 2012/13 together. 4 days with you in Lower Bavaria, together with your meanwhile grown-up daughter. That belongs to my most beautiful memories At that time I had organized a bottling of your favorite perfume "Belle d' Opium" from the souk here, you were so happy about it and applied it right away.
That smell suited you so well. You were a beautiful woman with dark hair and almost black eyes, the slightly oriental scent emphasized your aura 2016 you married again, of course I was there with my then fiancé and my son, gave you a wedding candle and was allowed to read intercessions in the church.
You were my maid of honor at my wedding in 2017. I never thought it would be the last time I saw you But the fate struck cruelly. In December 2018, after only 2.5 years of marriage, your beloved husband died completely unexpectedly of a brain haemorrhage, he did not even reach 60
Again I was there for you, unfortunately only from a distance, we are separated by more than 200 km. And yet you can also keep a friendship alive at such a distance The next blow was already on the horizon, but unfortunately it was not recognized by the doctors at first. Already since November 2018 you have been treated for an alleged stomach ulcer. This peptic ulcer turned out to be a tumour on the pancreas at the beginning of 2019.
When you told me that back then, the ground was pulling out from under my feet. But you had so much hope, so much desire to get better. You almost halved your weight in chemo. Endured a lot of pain.
Last I heard from you was in February. You sent me some pictures because you had been to the hairdresser and bought a new dress. This photo radiates so much joy of life, humor and fighting spirit.
On Easter Sunday I sent you an unsuspecting Easter greeting. A few hours later came the answer, which changed my life forever.
Your daughter answered me, telling me that you died peacefully and without pain on Good Friday. At just 50 years old. Fucking cancer!!!
Now I can't even say goodbye to you, because of the Corona situation you will be buried in the closest family circle.
The memory will now accompany me. Of a wonderful person. Thanks for everything.

It hurts so much to read the beautiful words you find for your dear friend. Cancer always plays unfairly and by its own rules. I wish you continued to be very strong. It has been more than four years since my mother was taken from us. The pain becomes more bearable, you learn to accept it, but you never get rid of it.

Painfully honestly written. It is so cruel to lose a loved one to this wretched disease. In 2016 I lost a good friend, he was only 36 years old. I wish you much strength and that you never forget your dear friend.

It is so terrible to lose a real girlfriend/boyfriend. To lose a friendship forever and irreversibly for good, a friendship that lasts even over a greater distance and for many decades. Even if it can never come to a personal meeting due to a very long distance.

I think what you need now as a reminder is a very large bottle of Belle d'Opium!

A very sad commentary. Sometimes fate strikes without mercy. I got to know the fragrance 2014 shortly before my divorce and I like it very much.

Reading makes my skin crawl. That the most important people are taken away from you hits you hard and never prepared. I wish you strength.
And such a shitty time that makes saying goodbye so damn difficult. I've been thinking about that a lot lately.

Good Friday is a special day and is associated with a lot of hope, even if this certainly cannot be a consolation. Of course, such a fragrance always remains connected with the person you love. Many here certainly know this - and for me it is a little comforting.

Now I've had to cry and all I can think of is Grönemeyer's text fragment: " Life isn't fair."
Why some people get such big packages... ...I don't know. My conclusion (because I experience something similar): Don't move anything anymore. Do it now and enjoy it as much as possible.
I sympathize with you after such a harsh news and I also have to think about my daughter, who has already been through so much. Much strength to you and all love !

I'm so very sorry for you. A dear friend of mine also died of this disease. She was 60, which is still very young.
