I sit here recovering from my 2nd chemotherapy treatment. Pancreatic cancer.. But I know who holds my future, and I'm so thankful for being apart of God's family. God bless everyone..
My daughter learned a month ago she had stage 4 pancreatic cancer with liver metastasis found completely by accident. Chemo started today. I didn’t know if I wanted to watch this. But my daughter says God chose me for a reason either way. I’m planning to ring the bell but if not he still chose me. She is is strongest most beautiful soul I know. God bless all of you.
I believe when your daughter said, “God chose me for a reason…” As an Oncology/Hematology Nurse, I am blessed to witness situations like this with my patients. They are provided the gift of discernment. They feel and see what we can’t. This strengthened my faith in God. I see miracles happen in my workplace. I learn a lot from my patients- something I never learned in nursing school. Cancer patients are given that gift - to prepare themselves for life eternal. God Bless 🙏
Cancer is a curse! How can it be a blessing when you die your kids will be motherless and they are so young! How is that a blessing ?? God loves you and your children will be given grace to go thru this
Shirley here, my hubby snores when sleeping but I thought I he wasn't here I would give anything to here that snoring again. He can snore all he wants.
My cousin had a brain tumor and was given 6 months. She lived 10 years! Ten years to be with her children. Years that she had to meet her grandchildren. I lost my husband to cancer last year. It was a six year journey that we both agreed at the end gave us things that we never would have had otherwise. We didn't ask why us, but why not us? We are no better than any other. To think that there is nothing to be gained through the journey is very sad. I know that faith in Christ makes all the difference.
You are so right. I lost my son in law a few months ago to stage 4 lung cancer. The family bond only grew, with each passing day, as well as our faith. We never felt sorry for ourselves, we each grieved in our own ways for the whole journey, but we laughed, and enjoyed every minute we had with him, and so did he. God rest his sweet soul, I miss him terribly, we all do, my granddaughter is only 10, my daughter, they were married over 20 years. He was only 41. So it’s very ruff at the moment, but we will get through this, but only with God.
@@sunshiicattara6410 I'm very sorry for your loss. It's truly a blessing that your family has a strong bond and loves the Lord. It's not any easy journey to navigate, but Faith makes all the difference.
I lost my husband to lung cancer in 2018. It was a blessing for the 8 months I was taking care of him. I myself was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2020. I never truly recovered. I was always a believer. God has truly revealed himself even more in this. It is not our loss but what we gain in the loss. God is still good🙏🏿🙏🏿
MY husband is in the last stages of lung cancer that’s gone to his bones and he is in so much pain, it breaks my heart. This story helped me, thank you. Please pray for him, help him to have a good death.
I waited 5 years to be able to watch this. I couldn't view it in my country. I "knew" Kara from her blog before and during cancer. I never imagined she was preparing me for my own cancer journey. I am in the US on vacation with my two girls who were 2 and 3 when I was diagnosed and are now 9 and 10 going to Disney for the first time. But my trip was not complete without finally watching this. She has no idea of what she has meant in my life and in my family's life. I have been telling her story for years! I hope others continue to do so.
My mom was diagnosed with breadt cancer at 36 and it spread to her brain at 40 and she had a seizer and we got 9 months with her. She passed February 11, 1993 . My grandfather past away from his second round of lung cancer in November 1992. They were meant to be together, and they are my guardian angels in heaven. God had a bigger plan for all taken too soon.❤😊
She gave me so much hope today. I’ve had the worst year with health and losing our home now. I was attacked by our landlord while sleeping today. Had the police here and I am so sick. Having my heart monitor placed next week and my kidneys aren’t doing well. I got so much hope from her to trust the Lord. His love is never ending. I can feel his love and peace and I thank Kara for her story today. I can’t wait to hug her in heaven. I pray for her husband and precious children!!!
In case anyone is curious, Jason remarried 2-3 years later and welcomed a daughter with his wife, Sarah, in September of 2019. Kara was adamant that he find another partner after her death.
That was such a beautiful story and so well done. I just lost my sister 2 weeks ago to stage 4 colon cancer. It was so hard to watch her suffer and get so frail as it ate away her body. We were blessed to have her for 23 months after her diagnosis. I know we will see her again in heaven with our Savior and He is the only way we can make it through. Thank you for sharing this story!
❤ Thank-you for sharing this comment and I'm very sad for your loss I do agree we all will meet up again stay strong look to God for all you do...❤..Gina fr.South Jersey...
Thank you Kara. My daughter fought brain cancer for 19 years. From 19 months old till she was 21. We lived everyday as if it was our last together. We were blessed to have so much time together. But, like you showed, love is a amazing drug. Your family and friends are all amazing. My daughter and I did not get that support from are family and friends. Her stepfather was the only one that was always there for us. Rip Kara you are a special Angel.
My heart shattered when she asked her friend “am I scary?” I thought about my father, 30 years ago, going through cancer. I was terrified at what/how I’d feel about what he’d look like, knowing that what I saw happening with him was reality. Something I just couldn’t face and certainly wasn’t ready for. I remember after we got the diagnosis, my sister and I were driving into our childhood home. When I saw all of what he’d built, he was everywhere. It was too much. I was just needing to be close to him. To soak up every precious last moments with him. I feel so very blessed that I got those last months with him. I love and miss you every day Daddy.
Watched mid Sept. I don't know if I have another day or another year. I am 76 and looking to see what mission God has for me the next season of my life. I was very active in my 40's as a Prolife rescuer, we are now dealing with all this gender craziness and I need to remind myself that God is in control. Kara reminds me of just that. I will see you on the other side
I'm so thankful this video crossed my path. Kara is still teaching all of us to love harder, and to live each day we are blessed with to the fullest. My heart breaks for her family and her babies.
I “ran into” this story by God’s direction. Being a breast cancer survivor I’ve had friends who have died. But I needed to watch this…. Thank you for sharing Kara’s story, her love for God, and how Kara didn’t allow her pending death to slow her down in sharing God’s love,to challenge everyone who watches her story and reads her books-which I will be doing. See you someday Kara….
I needed to watch this as well. I’m also a breast cancer survivor and I’m suffering from severe survivor’s guilt. I pray I will be half as brave as Kara. I also pray you are doing well. 💗
I currently have lost 2 family members to cancer and have a cousin now with stage 4 colon cancer. Watching Kara's story has brought tears to my eyes but has also strengthened me in other ways. Thank you Kara for sharing your long goodbye with us!! ❤
I am a caretaker to my husband who has stage 4 liver/colon cancer. thank you for this documentary story. It was beautiful and my prayers to the family.
I am so thankful I came across this.Lately, I have thought a lot about my own mortality; not because I have an illness but simply because of my stage in life. This brave and wonderful woman, Kara, so deserving of life, so full of love for her children and husband, will moat certainly walk in paradise. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story.
Wow! What a beautiful person and beautiful soul. I was diagnosed with breast cancer last summer and went through a lot and I feel I’ve got this! One cannot see anything else but hope and they positive side. I cannot even allow myself to think anything negative or sad.
Her story touches me greatly. I have never had friends..never had family. Never had support. I am dying and I feel nobody seems to care. I wonder and ask why God put me here? I have had no purpose. And now it's to late. My life has been pointless. I have not touched anyone. I am truly saddened. I wish I had money. Enough to not live in a shack. Enough to not worry about electric bill to run my oxygen. I dreamed my whole life to live like Kara. Even to be able to have a little. Goodbye. Life is a miracle. Remember to do it right.
What a beautiful film w/ the full range of emotions. It will be a special gift for her children to see this as they grow & continue to miss her presence & love so deeply. The peace & grace that she carried even when death was close was humbling & gave me gratitude for today. To say that Kara was an incredible human being on so many levels is obviously a huge understatement. Thank you for making ths film to keep her memory alive. My heart breaks for her husband & kids. They & the world needed more time w/ her in it. 🫶🙏
I’m the same age as Kara and have young children as well. How she managed her long goodbye was beautiful and her religion clearly helped her and gave her comfort. I had a very sudden illness that lead to me being in a coma for a month with little chance of survival. It was the scariest thing ever knowing I may never see my children again. ❤
It wasnt religion that gave her hope. It was knowing her Savior Jesus. I pray that you continue to have good health and may uou come to know Him. God Bless!
I’m facing pancreatic cancer and this story is beautiful something drew me to this video and I’m glad I watched it. Kara you are in this cancer club although not wanted and that makes us family as fighters and I know one day I’ll see you there with Jesus too. I am scared of this journey.
I lost my mom to breast cancer, i am a survivor, 4 times. This video makes me wonder why I am still here. Maybe to live for all those who did not survive. I promise to fo my best for all of you. To be the best I can be. Bless you all.
Wow, tears were flowing. I read Kara's blog for years and it seems unreal that she has been gone 8 years. Thank you for sharing this with so many people who did not get to follow her story as it was happening.
This was so beautiful. It really touched my heart, especially since I am battling AML Acute Myeloid Leukemia. It has made my close walk with Jesus even closer every day. RIP Kara. Prayers for all of your family, friends and yes even fans.
My mother had an 8 lb brain tumor. A chordoma. She had 0.1% chance of surviving surgery. She made it through surgery and lived 21 years after stereotactic radio surgery. She passed in 2017. Not from cancer either, she died from an untreated UTI and developed sepsis.
Her faith is inspiring. A part of me wonders why God couldn’t let her see her kids grow up and continue spreading His word, but I know that isn’t for me to understand. I hope her family is doing well. They had a wonderful wife and mother.
@@monicadonnelly4991after God created the earth, man was given free will (choice). Adam/Eve choose to sin and when sin entered this world, disease, etc began. So God came up with a plan to us to be made in right standing with God through Jesus. Jesus died and rose, taking our sins on Himself once and for all. This gift means all we need to do is accept Him into our lives. God cries with us in our sorrows and does not rejoice in suffering. He is with us in our sorrows. When we believe in Jesus, in His mercy, we have a firm assurance of eternally living with God when we pass and help while here on this earth. I don’t believe God gave her cancer.
@@monicadonnelly4991 God has plans for each of us. Some get diseases for a reason beyond our understanding. But if we have FAITH in HIM, we’ll be guided the gift of discernment. People like Kara are destined for greatness in God’s Kingdom. God Bless 🙏
@@monicadonnelly4991God didn't give her cancer. Only goodness comes to God. We don't know God's plan for our lives, but there's a higher reason for everything.
Beautiful example of what love is all about. The freedom that comes in knowing Jesus. Her story is not over. It will be told from Generation to generation to come. I’m a better person because of her story. Sending some Aloha from Washington State🌺
Wow inspiration met with tears of gratitude my Daughter In-law has been granted these 3 yrs to continue living Life with Our son and grandsons! It's my prayer this evening Jesus contines to carry and comfort this family! YouJesus keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book" (Psalm 56:8). David drew comfort in knowing that no matter what he was going through, God had great compassion on him and gathered all his precious tears in a bottle.
Yes and Amen. All our tears are counted and God is there to comfort us and bring unspeakable JOY even thru the most terrifying situations in life.. He planned all of our days!
So thankful this crossed my path... I lost my mom 8 yrs ago this March from stage 4 breast cancer that also started in the lymph nodes and spread to her brain. A God-fearing strong woman. Bless you and your family. I don't know you but I love you.
Her youngest child story has a beautiful story to tell about her mama ❤️!!! She will grow up to help others that deal with losing there mom I feel it!!! Story has a story to tell!!!!
To anyone here in December 2022, if you enjoyed her story . Please look at The story of “Joey Feek”. She was in the same boat . Diagnosed with cancer before her 40th birthday . Was a country singer . Married to Rory Feek. Their movie is called “to Joey with love”
Wow, what an incredible person Kara is. So brave, strong and beautiful. Her husband, children, family & friends are so blessed to have been loved by her. I cried through out this movie and I am grateful to have watched this. Fly high beautiful angel. I hope to meet you some day.
This came across my suggestion list and, as a 37 yr old mom of two boys 1 and 5, this touched me deeply. WHat an amazingly brave woman! Her ability to inspire me and others to see the preciousness in each moment with your family and friends truly made me look at things in a different way that I will forever be thankful for. Fly with the angels, you’re truly a beautiful woman, now and forever!
I grew up with a woman who had cancer 4 times and the 4th took her. One of them was breast cancer. Pancreatic cancer took her. Yet in all those years, she was the most loving and caring woman. She gave so much service to others. She continued to raise her kids. It was such a loss that her youngest son, who I am good friends with. All he could at her funeral was sit on a chair and cry. He spent much of childhood with a mother who had cancer. She left such an example right until her death. When she talks about losing her hair. I think society needs to see hair for what it really is. There is much dismissive behavior when it comes to hair loss. So many women (with or without hair) will say that a woman beautiful inside and out. How it starts from the inside. We as woman are emotionally attached to our hair, that is our biology. So Kara losing her hair and seeing how big of a part it played in who she is and how she felt. That is a real emotion that has been studied. Its a HUGE deal to lose your hair. No amount of pushing aside the true facts about it, losing your hair is a big deal. Its an emotion you work through, it does not go away. Regardless how many times you tell the woman that she's beautiful without it. Its like styling a wig for a woman with hair loss. You acknowledge how they felt about their hair before the loss and ask what it looked like and what it felt. It really goes that deep. Women really need to start acknowledging real emotions about hair. It truly is part of us as women.
I just came across this video. God bless her heart! I have 4 children and 3 grandsons and they are my world! I had and made it through cervical cancer. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 3 years ago and was put on ocrevis to slow it down, cuz there is no cure for ms. But I stopped treatment cuz a side effects is breast cancer! Cancer runs in my family. I lost my dad to lung cancer, my brother to liver cancer, my aunt to ovarian cancer, my uncle to pancreatic cancer and my nana to lung cancer. So I have the cancer gene in me. So I had to make sure I didn't get cancer back from treating another disease! Life is not fair at all. But what I live by now is God does not give you more than you can handle! God bless Kara's heart! ❤
love makes one vulnerable...Loving someone who does not value one's love is a danger I no longer want to risk. It is too easy to get thrown under the bus. Yet, I know that even those who have hurt me are loved by God. So I risk loving again by praying for those who have hurt me xxx
The moment of our arrival and departure in this life is known only by God. Our life is not in our hands or in our control, and the sooner we realize that the happier our life will be! God bless this beautiful woman for the gifts she gave to all who met her And had an opportunity to hear her speak. She lived and died in faith, and I hope that she rests in the eternal kingdom with our Lord Jesus Christ. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is an inspirational story - it is. It does make me think about the poor, single black mother without any health insurance and no ability to take her children on amazing adventures in the last months of her life. I am happy that Kara was aware of her good fortune in her ability to do things that cost money...... but again... it makes me cry for the woman who dies not knowing if her children will be well loved when she is no longer there to love them.
I lost my husband to covid liver failure last December 2022 . After 40 years of marriage. I didn’t want to let him go. But God allowed me to let him go . Watching him suffer not being able to move as he lost so much muscle . On a ventilator but could speak a little. But God showed me I would be okay . We have 5 grown up children & 5 grandchildren. But God gave me proverbs 3:5,6 . And gave me the understanding of why this happened. And I’m glad God took him out off this horrible world and I know where he is. Plus God took Andrew but has given more 2 more beautiful granddaughters x so God bless you and your family x
Just finished watching your video in celebration of Kara’s life! What an amazing testimony she had/has while living through her cancer experience! I stand amazed at the goodness of God as He takes us through the valleys, yet provides the strength we need to do so. Her testimony has touched me beyond belief, and gives me hope and faith in God’s tender mercies and grace! Praying for her friends and family who have to wait here on earth, to join her in the presence of our loving God and Savior! Mourn her loss here on earth, but she is ALIVE in the presence of God!😊
What an amazing, beautiful, graceful woman! Her light, my Lord, a reflection of your love. 🙏 May I learn to live my life so authentically! Thank you for sharing her story.
I am grateful this has crossed my video feed. What a great reminder of living for the moment and remember those that love you, remember to love them and make sure they know. Light the candles at dinner, don't save them for a "special" day because everyday is special!!! Thank you Kara for being such a giving person in your too short lifetime. Really wish I would have seen this sooner.
Heartwarming & heartbreaking at the same time 😢 she sure was strong and handled this with so much grace! I feel like she was my friend too. What an incredible Godly women 🫶🏼 she reminds me of how my sister handled her cancer battle. I hope they are friends in Heaven 🙌🏼 God bless Jason & their beautiful children 😇
I'm so grateful & thankful that Kara's story crossed my path. She seemed to be a wonderfully amazing woman & beautiful Momma. She just taught me some very valuable & much needed life lessons. I have incurable diseases I fight everyday & recently when I had a scan on my pelvic area bc I need to have my hip replaced, they discovered a Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor encroaching on my Piriformuis muscle attached Midial to my S4-S5. I've had cancer twice & don't need it a 3rd time. I have from S1 to S5 rare Tarlov Cysts. So this tumor spoted is new bc they never scanned so low before. RIP Kara & blessings to her family even though it's been a number of years, it matters not ❤🕯🌹🙏
I have always thought God and l had a very strong relationship sometimes he had to sit me down to focus back on my relationship with him and I have been through some hard things in my life BUT GOD HAS ALWAYS KEPT ME🙌🏻🙏🏻
Thank you Kara. For sharing your story, your beautiful family and showing us how to walk in grace. My sister has stage 4 metastatic BC and she is showing me how life is meant to live with humility, abundance and gratitude. At the same time it’s so hard and I want to scream every single day. There’s no BC in my family and that’s confusing. I choose to be the sister MY sister wants to be. Time is precious. Rest easy Kara dear friend.
What an absolutely beautiful testament to her Kara’s love and trust in God. She was a beautiful person. I am glad I was able to see this video. RIP dear Kara. Jesus welcomed you into His Heavenly Kingdom.
heartwarming and sad. I am glad she knew god had her and was helping her with her journey. But she did not have the right to judge and tell someone else how to do their journey.
I have just come across this documentary in 2022 ,December, Thank you for this dear Kara and your dear hubby and darling children. Absolutely superb ..How much Jesus loves you and your family.. what a legacy for your children and friends and family ...
Thankyou Kara for sharing your story, a beautiful life lived for Jesus and your family. You are so beautiful inside & out & everyone in your life is so blessed. Jesus is happy to have one of his most favourite children home. God bless your family & friends until you are all together again, much love ❤
My heart aches for those that Kara left behind; but rejoices for her knowing that she is no longer in pain, sitting at the right hand of Jesus, and waiting for her family and friends to arrive. Until we meet, rest in Paradise, Kara! ❤
The Power of love and faith and Community. I stumbled apon this movie by chance and it captured my attention- I feel sad, touched, uplifted & humbled. Kara's heartful story truly is a wake up call to live and love now....as we never know what tomorrow will bring. 🙏
I taught with Kara at Faith Christian Academy back in the day. She was so much fun and beautiful. Another teacher with us, Kathy (Allen), and I have enjoyed remembering stories about how much fun we had with Kara, especially the school's baby shower for Kara's first child, and how much everyone laughed and celebrated. She blessed us that year and was well loved.
❤😢Beautiful story. It's helpful for me to see different ways as our friend fighting with cancer for 2 years now. Praise the Lord for all she has done for helping others.
Our son was 7 yrs old when he was diagnosed with cancer osteosarcoma 😭💔 when the dr told me I fell to my knees and I was by myself he had to drive me home and had to tell my husband I knew that day that the life we knew was gone … we also had a 6 yr old daughter so when he was in the hospital we took turns someone was home with sissy and someone was in the hospital with mg we worked as a team but my faith was tested as was our marriage 😞 walking the cancer floor and looking at so many kids SUFFERING just blew my faith what hod would make so many BABIES KIDS TEENAGERS suffer through so much and most of them dying I can’t look at life like I used too 😞 your story is courageous everyone deals with stressful situations differently I hope your children remember all the good memories of you ❤️ Kara tried to talk Brittany out of dying before her time Brittany wanted to die on her terms but Kara felt differently all I can say is that Kara might think differently if she had to watch her child SUFFER through chemo operations (to cut a leg off) and many more things doctor screw ups ! I am pretty sure she would not have done well watching one of her kids suffer ! A person should never judge someone else’s decision!
Truth! 💯%! Different people, different faiths, beliefs, families, different fates everything different! It what makes people all unique and the world so beautiful! 💙💛
I sit here recovering from my 2nd chemotherapy treatment. Pancreatic cancer.. But I know who holds my future, and I'm so thankful for being apart of God's family. God bless everyone..
You can be healed. God loves you. Thoughts & prayers
I'm saying a prayer for you. All things are possible with God. Huge hugs
AMEN ❤❤❤❤

I lost my youngest sister May 20, 2022. Still doesn't feel real. I feel her all around me
Be strong for her mom. Live the best life you can with her.
"I have today, and today I live well" should be our motto, for all of us.

Sorry For Your Loss. I Lost My Step Mother & My Mother
I have one sister who has also been like a mom to me. I can't imagine. I'm so sorry.
Thank you Kara. My daughter fought brain cancer for 19 years. From 19 months old till she was 21. We lived everyday as if it was our last together. We were blessed to have so much time together. But, like you showed, love is a amazing drug. Your family and friends are all amazing. My daughter and I did not get that support from are family and friends. Her stepfather was the only one that was always there for us. Rip Kara you are a special Angel.
I'm so sorry that your daughter didn't have any support...

I was just needing to be close to him. To soak up every precious last moments with him. I feel so very blessed that I got those last months with him. I love and miss you every day Daddy.
Her beauty radiated. This impacted me as a mom of 5 catching myself taking life for granted
This is a sad story. What a good wife and mother. I hope her children realize how much she loves them, even when she's gone.
Watched mid Sept. I don't know if I have another day or another year. I am 76 and looking to see what mission God has for me the next season of my life. I was very active in my 40's as a Prolife rescuer, we are now dealing with all this gender craziness and I need to remind myself that God is in control. Kara reminds me of just that. I will see you on the other side
I'm so thankful this video crossed my path. Kara is still teaching all of us to love harder, and to live each day we are blessed with to the fullest. My heart breaks for her family and her babies.
She was still so young but cancer ages you terrible. My mom was 60' with cancer and after 2 years she looked like 100.
I “ran into” this story by God’s direction. Being a breast cancer survivor I’ve had friends who have died. But I needed to watch this…. Thank you for sharing Kara’s story, her love for God, and how Kara didn’t allow her pending death to slow her down in sharing God’s love,to challenge everyone who watches her story and reads her books-which I will be doing. See you someday Kara….
I needed to watch this as well. I’m also a breast cancer survivor and I’m suffering from severe survivor’s guilt. I pray I will be half as brave as Kara. I also pray you are doing well. 💗
@@Ellie20145 As much as you can don’t feel guilty…I know it’s not easy, I struggled with it as well…
I currently have lost 2 family members to cancer and have a cousin now with stage 4 colon cancer. Watching Kara's story has brought tears to my eyes but has also strengthened me in other ways. Thank you Kara for sharing your long goodbye with us!! ❤
I am a caretaker to my husband who has stage 4 liver/colon cancer. thank you for this documentary story. It was beautiful and my prayers to the family.
It helps me to know that "Life is a journey, not a destination."
I am so thankful I came across this.Lately, I have thought a lot about my own mortality; not because I have an illness but simply because of my stage in life. This brave and wonderful woman, Kara, so deserving of life, so full of love for her children and husband, will moat certainly walk in paradise. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story.
Isaiah 33:24…and no resident will say I am sick…in the coming new world all sickness and death will be reversed! Look forward to meeting her there
What an Amazing Woman,what a mother,what a Wife,what a friend. God bless you Kara,in the arms of Jesus now, Rest in Paradise ❤️❤️
I lost my husband to Cancer . He had 2 weeks to live . I never left his side . Charrish the time you have with your love ones .
She has one of the most beautiful smiles I've ever seen!❤
😊❤l Agree
Wow! What a beautiful person and beautiful soul.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer last summer and went through a lot and I feel I’ve got this! One cannot see anything else but hope and they positive side. I cannot even allow myself to think anything negative or sad.
Such a beautiful soul this lady had. God bless family and friends 🙏. She knew how to live. RIP Kara 🙏🙏✝️
Her story touches me greatly. I have never had friends..never had family. Never had support. I am dying and I feel nobody seems to care. I wonder and ask why God put me here? I have had no purpose. And now it's to late. My life has been pointless. I have not touched anyone. I am truly saddened. I wish I had money. Enough to not live in a shack. Enough to not worry about electric bill to run my oxygen. I dreamed my whole life to live like Kara. Even to be able to have a little. Goodbye. Life is a miracle. Remember to do it right.
She was a true godly woman. That's how God wants everyone to be like. Love others show compassion. Iam glad I watched this.
"Knowing Christ is the goal"..... thank you, Kara..
AMEN ❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful film w/ the full range of emotions. It will be a special gift for her children to see this as they grow & continue to miss her presence & love so deeply. The peace & grace that she carried even when death was close was humbling & gave me gratitude for today. To say that Kara was an incredible human being on so many levels is obviously a huge understatement. Thank you for making ths film to keep her memory alive. My heart breaks for her husband & kids. They & the world needed more time w/ her in it. 🫶🙏
I’m the same age as Kara and have young children as well. How she managed her long goodbye was beautiful and her religion clearly helped her and gave her comfort. I had a very sudden illness that lead to me being in a coma for a month with little chance of survival. It was the scariest thing ever knowing I may never see my children again. ❤
It wasnt religion that gave her hope. It was knowing her Savior Jesus. I pray that you continue to have good health and may uou come to know Him. God Bless!
I’m facing pancreatic cancer and this story is beautiful something drew me to this video and I’m glad I watched it. Kara you are in this cancer club although not wanted and that makes us family as fighters and I know one day I’ll see you there with Jesus too. I am scared of this journey.
Bless you. In my prayers. Positive thinking. Positive heart.
@@ms.savagepbytheriver5066 thank you so much that helps so much. God bless you too. You and your family are in my prayers too.
@@ronaldhartfordjr8299thinking of you and sending love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤
Sometimes on this world good people have to die, to get other people close to God. bless this family GOD.🙏🕊️💖
I lost my mom to breast cancer, i am a survivor, 4 times. This video makes me wonder why I am still here. Maybe to live for all those who did not survive. I promise to fo my best for all of you. To be the best I can be. Bless you all.
Bless you.
Wow, tears were flowing. I read Kara's blog for years and it seems unreal that she has been gone 8 years. Thank you for sharing this with so many people who did not get to follow her story as it was happening.
Such a beautiful tribute to an amazing woman and Christian 😇🙏❤️
This was so beautiful. It really touched my heart, especially since I am battling AML Acute Myeloid Leukemia. It has made my close walk with Jesus even closer every day. RIP Kara. Prayers for all of your family, friends and yes even fans.
My mother had an 8 lb brain tumor. A chordoma. She had 0.1% chance of surviving surgery. She made it through surgery and lived 21 years after stereotactic radio surgery. She passed in 2017. Not from cancer either, she died from an untreated UTI and developed sepsis.
Kara's message of love is what I will keep in my heart, too. Nothing can ever separate us from God's love.
Her faith is inspiring. A part of me wonders why God couldn’t let her see her kids grow up and continue spreading His word, but I know that isn’t for me to understand. I hope her family is doing well. They had a wonderful wife and mother.
Soon to be reversed Revelation 21:3,4
Why did god give her cancer
@@monicadonnelly4991after God created the earth, man was given free will (choice). Adam/Eve choose to sin and when sin entered this world, disease, etc began. So God came up with a plan to us to be made in right standing with God through Jesus. Jesus died and rose, taking our sins on Himself once and for all. This gift means all we need to do is accept Him into our lives. God cries with us in our sorrows and does not rejoice in suffering. He is with us in our sorrows. When we believe in Jesus, in His mercy, we have a firm assurance of eternally living with God when we pass and help while here on this earth. I don’t believe God gave her cancer.
@@monicadonnelly4991 God has plans for each of us. Some get diseases for a reason beyond our understanding. But if we have FAITH in HIM, we’ll be guided the gift of discernment. People like Kara are destined for greatness in God’s Kingdom. God Bless 🙏
@@monicadonnelly4991God didn't give her cancer. Only goodness comes to God. We don't know God's plan for our lives, but there's a higher reason for everything.
"I know there'll be grace for us to walk in it." ❤
Beautiful example of what love is all about. The freedom that comes in knowing Jesus. Her story is not over. It will be told from Generation to generation to come. I’m a better person because of her story. Sending some Aloha from Washington State🌺
Wow inspiration met with tears of gratitude my Daughter In-law has been granted these 3 yrs to continue living Life with Our son and grandsons! It's my prayer this evening Jesus contines to carry and comfort this family! YouJesus keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book" (Psalm 56:8). David drew comfort in knowing that no matter what he was going through, God had great compassion on him and gathered all his precious tears in a bottle.
Yes and Amen. All our tears are counted and God is there to comfort us and bring unspeakable JOY even thru the most terrifying situations in life.. He planned all of our days!
Thank you. So sad yet not crushing. What a beautiful display of love and hope in Jesus. Thank you, Annette
Amazing, strong woman in Christ. Her family are blessed to have an amazing mom and wife.
I honestly cried throughout most of this. My mother died of cancer back in 2015. This story touched me.❤😢 thanks for sharing.
So thankful this crossed my path... I lost my mom 8 yrs ago this March from stage 4 breast cancer that also started in the lymph nodes and spread to her brain. A God-fearing strong woman. Bless you and your family. I don't know you but I love you.
Her youngest child story has a beautiful story to tell about her mama ❤️!!! She will grow up to help others that deal with losing there mom I feel it!!! Story has a story to tell!!!!
AMEN ❤❤❤❤ l think all
Her beautiful kids going too be already
To anyone here in December 2022, if you enjoyed her story .
Please look at The story of “Joey Feek”.
She was in the same boat . Diagnosed with cancer before her 40th birthday . Was a country singer . Married to Rory Feek. Their movie is called “to Joey with love”
Wow, what an incredible person Kara is. So brave, strong and beautiful. Her husband, children, family & friends are so blessed to have been loved by her. I cried through out this movie and I am grateful to have watched this. Fly high beautiful angel. I hope to meet you some day.
Amen! Life is so precious. ❤
Shirley here, thank you Joanna for putting this story out there.
RIP Kara. Fly high dear lady. Your family and friends are in my prayers.
This came across my suggestion list and, as a 37 yr old mom of two boys 1 and 5, this touched me deeply. WHat an amazingly brave woman! Her ability to inspire me and others to see the preciousness in each moment with your family and friends truly made me look at things in a different way that I will forever be thankful for. Fly with the angels, you’re truly a beautiful woman, now and forever!
I grew up with a woman who had cancer 4 times and the 4th took her. One of them was breast cancer. Pancreatic cancer took her. Yet in all those years, she was the most loving and caring woman. She gave so much service to others. She continued to raise her kids. It was such a loss that her youngest son, who I am good friends with. All he could at her funeral was sit on a chair and cry. He spent much of childhood with a mother who had cancer. She left such an example right until her death. When she talks about losing her hair. I think society needs to see hair for what it really is. There is much dismissive behavior when it comes to hair loss. So many women (with or without hair) will say that a woman beautiful inside and out. How it starts from the inside. We as woman are emotionally attached to our hair, that is our biology. So Kara losing her hair and seeing how big of a part it played in who she is and how she felt. That is a real emotion that has been studied. Its a HUGE deal to lose your hair. No amount of pushing aside the true facts about it, losing your hair is a big deal. Its an emotion you work through, it does not go away. Regardless how many times you tell the woman that she's beautiful without it. Its like styling a wig for a woman with hair loss. You acknowledge how they felt about their hair before the loss and ask what it looked like and what it felt. It really goes that deep. Women really need to start acknowledging real emotions about hair. It truly is part of us as women.
She had the most beautiful smile. God bless her family. 🙏🏻💔😢
I just came across Kara's story. It has touched my heart how strong she was and how loving you her family and friends are.
RIP beautiful Kara
What a beautiful story, I am forever moved and will try harder to find the joy in everything. I know the Lords blessings are upon this sweet family.
My mom dad and brother died from cancer.. I feel their pain … I am crying as I Watch this story but also blessed to hear their story Eph 3:19
I just came across this video. God bless her heart! I have 4 children and 3 grandsons and they are my world! I had and made it through cervical cancer. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 3 years ago and was put on ocrevis to slow it down, cuz there is no cure for ms. But I stopped treatment cuz a side effects is breast cancer! Cancer runs in my family. I lost my dad to lung cancer, my brother to liver cancer, my aunt to ovarian cancer, my uncle to pancreatic cancer and my nana to lung cancer. So I have the cancer gene in me. So I had to make sure I didn't get cancer back from treating another disease! Life is not fair at all. But what I live by now is God does not give you more than you can handle! God bless Kara's heart! ❤
Made a grown man cry .brave beautiful women .and family x
I"m balling! thank you for sharing her story. continuous healing to the family
love makes one vulnerable...Loving someone who does not value one's love is a danger I no longer want to risk. It is too easy to get thrown under the bus. Yet, I know that even those who have hurt me are loved by God. So I risk loving again by praying for those who have hurt me xxx
Bless you now and always. I needed your message.
The moment of our arrival and departure in this life is known only by God. Our life is not in our hands or in our control, and the sooner we realize that the happier our life will be! God bless this beautiful woman for the gifts she gave to all who met her And had an opportunity to hear her speak. She lived and died in faith, and I hope that she rests in the eternal kingdom with our Lord Jesus Christ. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is an inspirational story - it is. It does make me think about the poor, single black mother without any health insurance and no ability to take her children on amazing adventures in the last months of her life. I am happy that Kara was aware of her good fortune in her ability to do things that cost money...... but again... it makes me cry for the woman who dies not knowing if her children will be well loved when she is no longer there to love them.
I lost my husband to covid liver failure last December 2022 . After 40 years of marriage. I didn’t want to let him go. But God allowed me to let him go . Watching him suffer not being able to move as he lost so much muscle . On a ventilator but could speak a little. But God showed me I would be okay . We have 5 grown up children & 5 grandchildren. But God gave me proverbs 3:5,6 . And gave me the understanding of why this happened. And I’m glad God took him out off this horrible world and I know where he is. Plus God took Andrew but has given more 2 more beautiful granddaughters x so God bless you and your family x
What a beautiful soul. This documentary is truly powerful. Made me cry.
Just finished watching your video in celebration of Kara’s life! What an amazing testimony she had/has while living through her cancer experience! I stand amazed at the goodness of God as He takes us through the valleys, yet provides the strength we need to do so. Her testimony has touched me beyond belief, and gives me hope and faith in God’s tender mercies and grace! Praying for her friends and family who have to wait here on earth, to join her in the presence of our loving God and Savior! Mourn her loss here on earth, but she is ALIVE in the presence of God!😊
What an amazing, beautiful, graceful woman! Her light, my Lord, a reflection of your love. 🙏 May I learn to live my life so authentically! Thank you for sharing her story.
The most important thing in life is to have a husband so loving and supportive ❣️❣️😢😢
I am grateful this has crossed my video feed. What a great reminder of living for the moment and remember those that love you, remember to love them and make sure they know. Light the candles at dinner, don't save them for a "special" day because everyday is special!!! Thank you Kara for being such a giving person in your too short lifetime. Really wish I would have seen this sooner.
Heartwarming & heartbreaking at the same time 😢 she sure was strong and handled this with so much grace! I feel like she was my friend too. What an incredible Godly women 🫶🏼 she reminds me of how my sister handled her cancer battle. I hope they are friends in Heaven 🙌🏼 God bless Jason & their beautiful children 😇
Kara's eyes see all...they just shine. Brave and beautiful.
I'm so grateful & thankful that Kara's story crossed my path. She seemed to be a wonderfully amazing woman & beautiful Momma. She just taught me some very valuable & much needed life lessons. I have incurable diseases I fight everyday & recently when I had a scan on my pelvic area bc I need to have my hip replaced, they discovered a Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor encroaching on my Piriformuis muscle attached Midial to my S4-S5. I've had cancer twice & don't need it a 3rd time. I have from S1 to S5 rare Tarlov Cysts. So this tumor spoted is new bc they never scanned so low before. RIP Kara & blessings to her family even though it's been a number of years, it matters not ❤🕯🌹🙏
AMEN ❤❤❤❤
I wish I could have known her. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story
I have always thought God and l had a very strong relationship sometimes he had to sit me down to focus back on my relationship with him and I have been through some hard things in my life BUT GOD HAS ALWAYS KEPT ME🙌🏻🙏🏻
Kare what a beautiful soul. Her story is so inspiring. Rest in internal peace Kara. You were so brave. My heart goes out to Kara husband and family.
Thank you Kara. For sharing your story, your beautiful family and showing us how to walk in grace. My sister has stage 4 metastatic BC and she is showing me how life is meant to live with humility, abundance and gratitude. At the same time it’s so hard and I want to scream every single day. There’s no BC in my family and that’s confusing. I choose to be the sister MY sister wants to be. Time is precious. Rest easy Kara dear friend.
What a beautiful story of Kara’s life and her courage and love. Thank you for making this documentary.
This has helped me so much in my suffering, thank you everyone for this beautiful documentary. God bless all of you!
This touched me to my very soul😢 God bless all of you and I will forever hold Kara’s story in my heart!
This was so touching and beautiful. I also have stage 4 MBC and this gives me hope. Jesus is the only thing that gets me through this. ❤
What an absolutely beautiful testament to her Kara’s love and trust in God. She was a beautiful person. I am glad I was able to see this video. RIP dear Kara. Jesus welcomed you into His Heavenly Kingdom.
heartwarming and sad. I am glad she knew god had her and was helping her with her journey. But she did not have the right to judge and tell someone else how to do their journey.
What a beautiful soul, and her family!!! So much braver than I could ever be. Healing love to the family...❤❤❤❤
Crying hard. Bless her memory and her family and friends. ❤️🇧🇻
I have just come across this documentary in 2022 ,December, Thank you for this dear Kara and your dear hubby and darling children. Absolutely superb ..How much Jesus loves you and your family.. what a legacy for your children and friends and family ...
What a truely inspiring woman you were Kara. You had such a way words. You are most definitely in a better place. No more pain and suffering.
I can so relate to Jason’s journey, because I’m living through it right now.
Thankyou Kara for sharing your story, a beautiful life lived for Jesus and your family. You are so beautiful inside & out & everyone in your life is so blessed. Jesus is happy to have one of his most favourite children home. God bless your family & friends until you are all together again, much love ❤
My heart aches for those that Kara left behind; but rejoices for her knowing that she is no longer in pain, sitting at the right hand of Jesus, and waiting for her family and friends to arrive. Until we meet, rest in Paradise, Kara! ❤
The Power of love and faith and Community. I stumbled apon this movie by chance and it captured my attention- I feel sad, touched, uplifted & humbled. Kara's heartful story truly is a wake up call to live and love now....as we never know what tomorrow will bring. 🙏
What an incredible story of the fragility of life, but also of incredible grace and love ❤️
I taught with Kara at Faith Christian Academy back in the day. She was so much fun and beautiful. Another teacher with us, Kathy (Allen), and I have enjoyed remembering stories about how much fun we had with Kara, especially the school's
baby shower for Kara's first child, and how much everyone laughed and celebrated. She blessed us that year and was well loved.
❤😢Beautiful story. It's helpful for me to see different ways as our friend fighting with cancer for 2 years now. Praise the Lord for all she has done for helping others.
Our son was 7 yrs old when he was diagnosed with cancer osteosarcoma 😭💔 when the dr told me I fell to my knees and I was by myself he had to drive me home and had to tell my husband I knew that day that the life we knew was gone … we also had a 6 yr old daughter so when he was in the hospital we took turns someone was home with sissy and someone was in the hospital with mg we worked as a team but my faith was tested as was our marriage 😞 walking the cancer floor and looking at so many kids SUFFERING just blew my faith what hod would make so many BABIES KIDS TEENAGERS suffer through so much and most of them dying I can’t look at life like I used too 😞 your story is courageous everyone deals with stressful situations differently I hope your children remember all the good memories of you ❤️ Kara tried to talk Brittany out of dying before her time Brittany wanted to die on her terms but Kara felt differently all I can say is that Kara might think differently if she had to watch her child SUFFER through chemo operations (to cut a leg off) and many more things doctor screw ups ! I am pretty sure she would not have done well watching one of her kids suffer ! A person should never judge someone else’s decision!
Truth! 💯%! Different people, different faiths, beliefs, families, different fates everything different! It what makes people all unique and the world so beautiful! 💙💛
I think of Kara all the time. This was the best movie I have ever seen. I have watched it so many times.
It feels like a gift to the world as a mom. Wonderful strong woman.
Thank you for this. Meeting Kara on this documentary was great. I am looking forward to meeting her in heaven.
