I was shocked to read this today. Sending Hélène and all her family lots of love and support.

“I have been asked to pass on some sad news regarding our good blogging friend Hélène Vaillant. The message is self explanatory and comes from Hélène’s sister Anne.
If you are aware of places and people that should be made aware of this sad development, please do so.

Greetings Frank,
I am Anne G…,, Hélène’s sister. She has asked me to write to you as she cannot due to being hospitalized. She is very ill and has been diagnosed with an aggressive kidney cancer.
She has refused all treatments whatsoever except for comfort measures. She is very clear and ready to begin palliative care. We are at the early stage of this change of life. She said you would know to spread the word in your group.
Her family and I are asking her friends and loved ones to send her healing and blessings on this challenging journey. I will endeavor to keep you posted.
Anne
Please reblog if you wish to.

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light.
My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

‘Liked’ is entirely the wrong thing to click 😦
There are times we forget the fragility of the people who form our online world.
I will pray for her
Thank you Jim we all will 💜
Hélène living up to her name of Courage, refusing the treatment. I salute her and wish her and all her family courage in the coming time.
Thank you there is an email if you would like it 💜
I don’t know that I want to intrude. I don’t know Hélène well enough to feel she’d want to have my thoughts.
Apparently her sister is happy to receive emails of support for her. It’s entirely personal though . Bless her it’s so sad.💜
It is sad. She’s a brave soul to be firm about what she wants.
Yes indeed I hope I could be as strong 💜
Me too.
😒💜
Such sad news. Hélène has always been so supportive 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yes indeed all we can do is show we care 💜
🙏🏽🙏🏽
I was also shocked to see this post, Willow. On-line makes us physically removed form our friends so we don’t always know their state of health. I sent her a message via Anne.
Yes Robbie so did I , it makes us realise we are all mortal. She is so brave God protect her 💜💜
I will miss Helene. ❤️
She needs our support for now 💜
Oh my, dear Helene ❤ What a beautiful soul she is. May she continue to find the strength she needs on her journey. ❤
We can all pray for her 💜
Yes, she will be in my healing prayers ❤
And mine too 💜
❤
💜💜💜
Oh dear. I don’t think I knew her but she looks like a lovely person. May peace and fulfillment await her.
Yes we all join with your hopes 💜💜
Thanks for the information Willow. Helen is such a nice lady and I hope she can recover soon.
I fear that may not be but we can pray 💜
So sorry to hear this…

Willow, I would love the email to send a message via her sister. ❤
I will send it to you on the mewe message if that’s okay
Oh, ok. That’s perfect.
Please let me know that you have it 💜💜💜
Did you email it?
I have it from MeWe chat. ❤ Thank you.
Excellent I sent one earlier, not an easy email to write but every little helps 💜💜💜
I’ll think on it a bit. I want to keep it upbeat and let her know how much she meant to me. ❤
She is such a wonderful lady, and not long lost her husband 😏
I remember. I wondered where she was. Now, I know. 😢
Yes it is such a shock when you realize someone is not around and you begin to wonder why 💜💜
I didn’t mean that imoji it was a slip 💜
No worries. 😘
Oh, that breaks my heart. Helene writes such beautiful poetry. I send her good energy to take away the pain. I’m so sad. 😦 ❤
I am too 😒💜💜💜
This is indeed a shock. Sending positive thoughts and good wishes to Helene and her family.
❤ ❤ ❤
Yes it is so sudden. We can all pray for her 💜
❤

So sorry to hear this. I’ve really enjoyed knowing Helen. May the angels surround her and her family with comfort at this time. ❤
I do hope so and we can all pray for her 💜
Jim this is about Hélène Valiant from Willow Poetry NOT Helen Vahdati. Can you please correct this please.
It was a shock to me also, Willow. I got Anne’s email address and will send her a message for Helene! She was holding up very well after her husband passed away early this year. We all pray for her. ❤ ❤
Yes she has been through so much of late 💜
We pray for her peace. ❤
We do 💜💜
💖💖
Strangely I have been thinking of Helene in quiet moments lately. May the light she has shone in the world guide her now. With deep love – Suzanne
Yes I am praying for that too 💜
That is sad. Courage at end of life.
Yes we can all pray for her 💜
🙏🙏🙏
How precious of you to share this with others. I did not know Helene, but she seems very courageous and I will pray for an easy transition for her and her family.
❤❤❤
Thank you, all prayers will be appreciated. Helen is a lovely lady who writes stories and poetry. We all hope she and her family will have the best, time to come, possible. 💜💜
She is strong lady, my prayers are with her. I missed her blogs recently. Just saw your blog and cane to realize why she stopped posting.
I am am not sure from what you say here if you know but we have lost Hélène https://willowdot21.wordpress.com/2019/07/22/sad-news-of-helene/ sorry to be the one to tell you.
Oh I am so sorry😔
It is very sad but I like to think she is pain free and united with her husband who died earlier this year.💜
Yes it’s true. I am sorry…. I was missing her posts… So I tried to find out. I know wherever she is, she is in peace.
Yes indeed bless her 💜💜
She was a lovely lady and is missed 💜
I agree… Will miss her.
