Rena there are no accidents when things like this happen, that was definitley a "meant to be". I spent the last 6 1/2 weeks of rads at Hope Lodge in Tampa provided by the American Cancer society. It was a blessed experience, and I shared info about CSN with anyone who seemed to be interested. I feel as though I know all of you on these boards even tho miles separate us. We have a common bond and we help heal each other thru the physical pain, our emotional pain and any other pain. I am so grateful I found all of you.0

It was nice of you to reach out
Rena, it was nice of you to reach out. I too believe every thing happens for a reason. I had a similar experience at a store and reached out to the lady as well. I think it was a good thing for both of us. We exchanged email addresses, but I didn't think to direct her here. I'll have to remember that.
I've reached out to others too. If the other person doesn't want to talk, it's usually pretty easy to tell and then I back off.

I agree with Natly that this
I agree with Natly that this was no accident. I am sure that you brought a ray of sunshine and hope to this lady. This truly is a magic place and I continue to be so thankful that I was led here. I share and recommend this site to those in need, too. The only thing that is somewhat disheartening is that it seems like there are so many newly diagnosed every week. I guess the positive, if you can call it that, is that there are support sites like this. Even better in my opinion is this one is filled with wonderful, wonderful individuals. Thanks for sharing this story with us RE and also thanks for being YOU. I, too, hope she comes here to be supported and encouraged.0 -
I call occurances like these "DIVINE APPOINTMENTS". God used you to offer comfort, hope and support to this stranger. Even if she doesn't come here, He blessed her through your kindness. Hugs. GracieMyTurnNow said:I agree with Natly that this

To the world, you may be one person, but to one person....
You may be the world!!!
I believe that people are placed in our paths to guide us through. That means that we are also placed in other's paths. Usually, when this happens to me, not only do I affect the other person, but that person, me!
Hugs to a very wonderful lady!!!

Thank you for listening to your heart! This is no accident! I am glad you were able to give some hope and comfort to another 'C' sister. I pray for all of us daily because I know many of us wake up each morning with no one there to listen. Thank God He is always there for us and that He sends us to those who need a kind word or a hug. God bless you!

Thank you all for your kind words, I too was profoundly impacted by the impromptu meeting. To be honest with you all by the time I reached my car I was in tears and thinking of each of you. Thanks for letting me share what I believe was a special moment for both of us.

I think Kathi put it beautifully. It sounds like that lady really needed someone to reach out to her and understand - you gave that to her. Bless you and bless her!0

You just made me cry.
Those are the moments you KNOW there are angels on this planet as we live and breathe.
Today, you were HERS.
Love you for that.
Thank you sweet Invisi-Sister.

And an Angel~ Re that was just the best response. We have to plant hope wherever we can.
And give it a little water, here and there...0 -
I know I feel a closeness to anyone I see going thru this and I'm sure all of you do too. We don't even have to have a ton of conversation with each other, just a hug, hand squeeze or look. It's like the motorcylc riders who extend their left hand when passing by another cyclist. What a good idea to give the info of this website.jo jo said:An angel in disguise...you
An angel in disguise...you were someones angel!

This is a great post RE! You helped that woman in ways that I bet you don't even know.
I hope, if she wants to, that she comes here to get support.
