Sincerest condolences for the loss of your sister, Shelly. Good to see the emotional support Puffs are doing their job ❤

I am so sorry you and your family have suffered this terrible loss. I love how your kindness, honesty and openness changes the world for so many. Thank you for sharing. Sending love to you.

My mum and I have been watching you together since way before Cassidy. Pancreatic cancer took her away from us in 2021, just a week after diagnosis. It’s a vile disease. Sending you so much love, Shelly x

Shelly, all of us are sorry for the loss of your dear sister. Give Puffs and Auracuda lots of hugs, and remember that they are absorbent.😇💔

So sorry for the loss of your sister 😢💔i lost mine last February 2023😢

I'm not able to tune in every week, so I miss a lot of happenings unfortunately, that's why this takes me by sad surprise. THANKS FOR SHARING, DEAR SHELLY!!! I am elderly, ill now and with many life experiences, so I can relate to major loss, such harrowing times in our precious lives. Thanks for letting us know. Your thoughts, your words show the sensitive, good person you are. I hope you can rest, process and take care of yourself as you need. And yes, the lovely furry beings surrounding you are angel helpers of the soul, just looking at them on the screen, lovely souls. Thank you again for being who you are Shelley. You do a lot to help the world be a better place for all. Much love and empathy, take good care of yourself. ❤❤❤

I'm so sorry for your loss Shelly. Thank you for sharing. You honestly didnt need to. You are allowed to have a private life. My sincere condolences to you and your family at this time.

Numbness and shock give way to tears and distractedness, and grief catches you off guard for a long time. May the compassion you extend now be present every where you look..so you can heal❤

So we'll said. Thank you!

My heart broke from this news. I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful sister. Pancreatic cancer is a beast and life can be so unfair. Walked a similar path with loved ones too many times.

I just lost my fella to complications from his Glioblastoma. He passed on the 16th of last month. I know how you and your family are feeling. I was with him since 97. I knew him longer than I didn't. His mom has become my mom, and it's been so hard for her as well. As long as you carry those you've lost in your mind and your heart, they're not really gone. But I am sorry for the pain you're feeling.

Flower, Bluebelle and I send our love and biggest hugs. Our hearts are with you, Shelly. Fighting cancer was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Grief is never linear, so take care of you however that looks like, and be kind to yourself. 🌺💙

Shelly love and light to you and your family. Lost my sister to cancer 10 years ago. It’s rough. I still wake up at night and think about her and cry because I miss her so much. Bless your heart sweet Shelly. I’m crying right now. Thank goodness you have a few support animals.❤️🙏🏼

I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing my sister to esophageal cancer was so much harder to process than losing my parents. At a certain age-though it can still be hard-I expected to lose my parents, but I wasn’t prepared for the hole my sister would leave.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Cancer is a frightening journey for all. Grief and fear...difficult to describe. I'm fighting stage iv ovarian cancer and I can feel this pain and turmoil. I hope should you need it to reach out to all the cancer caregiver groups (families count!). Sometimes it helps talking to people who know what this all means - even the darker moments to be expressed. I pray for peace for everyone who knew your sister and may her memories long keep your hearts warm, laughter at your lips, and joy in your mind for knowing her.

Shelly, I'm so sorry for what you and your family have gone through. My husband and I lost our adult son 9 years ago and I have a little idea of your journey. Hugs to you and your family for the loss of your beloved sister.

No parent should have to bury their child. May I offer you a hug?

Cancer is the worst. I have lost many family members and my best friend to liver cancer. Please take care, love yourself and take all the time you need to recover from this. You are loved by so so many Shelly. Love from Victoria, Australia.

I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. I've lost a couple of close friends to pancreatic cancer. It's an awfully cruel disease. Having a good support network will help through the dark days. Sending hugs.

The TK team did an amazing job while you were away, they were amazing!❤️

yes huge thanks to them all

Oh Shelly--give yourself time to grieve. There are no rules, no timelines-just what you need. I've walked this path with my husband and I understand all the range of emotions you will experience. Be good to yourself. Let the puffballs comfort you be cause they are the best support team you could ever have. You know that the entire TinyKittens community is holding you close in our hearts💙🐾💙

I’m so sorry for your loss! Major energy and love pushed to you and I’m so grateful you have the support puffs. You have helped me through some tough times so I hope you will take the time you need.

I'm so sorry to hear about your family's suffering and loss. I lost my brother to a very aggressive cancer in 2022. It sometimes still feels unreal.

My condolences on your loss. Please be aware , grief is not linear. Allow yourself to feel the feels and work your way through the process. Everyone processes grief at different rates so don't beat yourself up over it or compare yourself to others. Tiny Kittens has been a vital part of my recovery process as I've been in deep depression and high social anxiety since 2017. When I started watching the cattermelons was when Chloe, Romona and a third kitty were all popping about the same time. I loved the wee kittens acting like a bunch of Scotsmen on a pub crawl as they went from milk bar to milk bar. You and Tiny Kittens are amazing. Take the time you need to take care of yourself. In the mean time I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.

I had a very similar experience a few months ago when my older sister was diagnosed with cancer and passed away about two weeks later. It still huts, but each passing day it becomes a bit easier. My sincere condolences.

My sincerest condolences on your loss Miss Shelly. May you find comfort in your memories of your Sister and in the arms of your family. A new bright star is in the sky now instead of here on earth.

Oh, Shelly. I don't know what to say. I'm so so sorry.

Ditto.

Shelly, I am so sorry for the loss of your sister. I recently walked with a close family member through her cancer diagnosis and passing. It's incredibly hard and also such a sacred gift to spend those moments with your loved one. Praying for you and your family as you grieve. Hugs.

Oh Shelly, I'm so deeply sorry for the loss of your sister. It is devastating, and you owe us nothing whatsoever. Taking good care of yourself is primary. I can only speak for myself, but I'm pretty sure the TKer community fully and deeply understands and feels the same. You have been such an agent for alleviating suffering in the world, and our heart breaks in those times when a thing can't be fixed. But onward we go..... wishing you heart healing, all in good time. ox

Oh Shelley, I'm so sorry for your loss. My prayer is that while you recover from the trauma of the last month and grieve your sister's passing, you will also experience bubbles of joy as you recall times together with her. Grief cannot be rushed or put aside, it needs acknowledgement but it becomes gentler with time. Praying for your whole family and for the tinykittens team, for strength and grace as you work through it all together.

So sorry for the loss of your sister Shelly, heartfelt condolences to you & your family. You are admired & loved worldwide (I'm from Tasmania, Australia). In addition to educating, you and your team model kindness, compassion & show that every life matters. You give so much of yourself, we all feel like we know you. Thank you for sharing such a difficult & personal story with everyone who cares about you. May you find peace surrounded by those who love you, human & feline (even the growlie ones)💜 🐈 🐈‍⬛️

Oh, Shelly, my heart breaks for you and your family. Hugs to you.

I'm kind of a newcomer to Tiny Kittens, but my heart is breaking for you and tears are streaming down my face! I am a retired Nurse and have a pretty good understanding what your sister with through! Thank-you for the wonderful work you're doing for cats! God Bless!! ❤

Lovely Shelly , I am so very sorry for your profound loss ! You and your channel have helped me tremendously when I was losing my beloved mother to cancer a while ago. Your stories and videos helped to soothe and comfort me when the powerlessness and anguish would threaten to overwhelm me. I am forever grateful for such kind and big hearted people who so generously give of themselves and their passion to help animals and fellow human beings. The world is a better place because of you and your team. Sending much love and healing !

My condolences Shelly on the loss of your beautiful sister. What a heartbreak for you 🥰

I'm so sorry for your loss. All cancer's are horrible, but after watching my mom go through pancreatic cancer for 6 months, I think it's the worst. Many blessings and prayers to you and your family.

Shelly, I'm so incredibly sorry to hear of your sister's passing. Unfortunately, I lost a close friend to pancreatic cancer 3wks ago. I never imagined having so many different feelings at once. Cancer truly sucks! If anything, I'm sure your sister was thankful to be surrounded by those who loved her the most. My sincerest condolences to you, your bil, nephews, parents & other family members & friends. Sending lots of love & hugs your way

So sorry to hear about your loss Shelly 😢❤‍🩹

I am so very sorry for your loss. Pancreatic cancer is particularly brutal, and it will take some time for your family to regain equilibrium. We missed you, but I am glad you were able to be there. My heart goes out to your whole family, including your parents, who should never have a child pass, and her husband and kids, who must go forward despite the staggering changes. Counseling helps! Please be kind to yourself; grief is unpredictable. Don't hesitate to ask the TK Community for whatever you need. We all love you dearly. ❤️

So sorry Shelly. Thank you for sharing your loss with the community. Sending you comfort and peace.

I am so sorry to hear of this terrible loss. My older sister was diagnosed with malignant melanoma and later it metastasized. I was with her the day we heard the shocking nurse and part of the care team through her last awful months. We were able to be with her at the end. It left a big hole in my heart and I had a very hard time coping when I turned 52, which was older than my older sister would ever become. I am glad that you took time to be with your sister and your family. Grieving is very hard, even when the end is expected and it will pop up and bite you unexpectedly when some random smell or sight will remind you of your sister. I can tell you 27 years later it is easier but I still miss her so much. Take the time you need to begin to process this news and find more peace with it. You know you are loved not only by your family and friends who see but by thousands of friends you can’t see, but who see you.

My deepest condolences to you and your family, Shelly. It says so much about your huge heart that you think of us at this difficult time. The message at the end of your video was so beautiful. Sending you love.

So sorry for your loss Shelly. Best wishes to your family, her husband and sons. Your sister sounds beautiful. Hugs 🥰😻

Much love Shelly, for all the work you put in to make the world a better place. Thank you.

My Sweet Shelley,my heart is feeling so sad for you and your Family. I feel heartbroken for your Family and you,I know you will miss her so much,but know that she is now at Peace and not suffering anymore. 😢We are so pleased that you are back, take your time,you have a great team,so let them take the load for a while.Deepest Sympathies to you, your Parents, your brother inlaw and nephews,Love and Blessings,Valerie.❤❤

So sorry for the loss of your sister. We lost my Dad in 2019 to pancreatic cancer. We were very lucky to have him almost 2 years after his Whipple surgery. I took comfort in knowing my Dad wasn't hurting anymore and in a better place. Hugs to you and your family

Oh Shelly this is such sad news and I have tears rolling down my face for you. I know this pain all too well. Sending love to you and your precious family. Thank you for bringing Tiny Kittens into my world xx

I'm really deeply sorry for your loss, Shelly. I can imagine how you feel as I've lost my mother six years ago and still miss her a lot. All the best for you and your sister's family.

Shelly, I could tell by the look on your face before you began speaking that someone had died. I am so sorry that you lost your wonderful sister! Pancreatic cancer is one that you never want to hear your doctor say that you have. You are just hardly given a chance to fight that one. Best wishes to your sister's sons and husband and to you and your parents as you now navigate the world with this terribly shocking loss.

The death of a sibling or child is too awful to contemplate. Wishing you and your family a peaceful recovery from this.

Much love to you and your family during this incredibly difficult time.

Nothing can describe or compare what a family goes through when there is cancer in the midst. My heart goes out to all of you. I call cancer the Emperor of All Maladies. Being a caregiver will wear you down and at the same time you need to be strong for her. People say they understand, but no one can every understand it completely unless you've lived it. My sister, much older than your sister, was unexpectedly diagnoses with a highly aggressive brain tumor 2 years ago. It look her everything from her. She was so vibrant and physically active and now she just waits from MRI to MRI until it returns. It will return. I pray everyday to have my old boring life back.

I'm deeply sorry about this for all of you. It's excruciating. I know at times like this, it's hard to imagine going on. You'll find the healing therapy you need, cat related and more. Bless all of you. At the risk of repeating a cliche, your sister is truly in a better place, with no suffering. Thank you for sharing this painful life passage - your own strength will bring lots of blessings to your family, as you have to countless other innocent lives. Your devotion is an inspiration.

I just saw this and I am so sorry, Shelly. My heart aches for you and your family. I hope your good memories of your sister get you through the tough times.

Dear Shelly, I'm so sorry for your loss... I send you all my condolences !

So sorry to hear of your loss. wishing you and your family serenity as you work through this loss. Working with your little feline friends can help provide some comfort for you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. 😢 Hope, Family, kittens, the kitten Cam viewes and the Tiny Kitten "Helpers" cheered your up a little in the meantime. ❤

I am just now seeing this. I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for strength for you and your sister's family.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Shelly. Sending you and your family so much love.

My heart breaks for you and your family. Such an unfair, cruel disease. In the last six months, I've said goodbye to 2 friends due to cancer battles. Know that all of your feelings are valid and they are valid for as long as they exist. There is no timeline on grief. ❤️‍🩹

Oh Shelly, my heart is broken for you and your family. I’m so very sorry for your loss. ❤

Dearest Shelly, you and >^..^ I loved what you said at the end, explaining how you intend to carry on. You’re an incredible woman. Your sister, I fully believe was nothing less. My sincere condolences to you, and your family. 😿

Oh Shelly… I’m so very sorry for your entire family and all her friends. My heart breaks for you all.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share this with us, Shelly. Fortunately you are surrounded with friends and your TK team to support you. You also have a huge network of people scattered around the world who care about you, and all that you do. Virtual hugs from France, and much love to you and your family.

Dear dear Shelley. My heart breaks for you and your family. Prayers for healing and hope. I know your sister and family benefited for you being there. You bring so much good to this world. Bless you in your journey 🌹❤❤

So very sorry for your loss Shelly. May God wrap his arms around you and your family during this difficult time. So much love to you and your entire family.

So so sorry for the loss of your sister, lovely shelly, myself(trace), my partner Phil and our kitty Bella send you love, hugs and strength to you and your family, thinking of you all at this very difficult time, I know it's very hard, I've only been on the chat a couple of times but we watch Tiny Kittens everyday and have done for some time, we love all you do for the kitties, you need to take some time for yourself and your family, our thoughts are with you all, love to you shelly 😥🙏❤️

I just started watching recently. I. Am. So. Sorry. Words are inadequate to touch this pain. 😢

I am so sorry for the pain you and your family are going through. My best friend died of pancreatic cancer in 2022- it’s an excruciatingly awful disease and the Whipple surgery is difficult beyond words. The TK community loves you so much and is so proud of all you do! I am sure your kitties missed you terribly and I am glad you had the help you needed to care for them while you helped care for your sister!

I am so sorry for your loss, Shelly. My heart goes out to you, your parents, and your beloved sister's husband and sons.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your sister. Just remember that grief has no timeline, and that some days will be easier than others to get through. I’m sure your kittens will stay extra close to you during this time.

I am so sorry to hear this. Sincere condolences to you and your family. I lost my Dad to pancreatic cancer, it is a devastating illness. I'm so glad you have your emotional support puffs with you. Thank you and your team so much for all you have done and continue to do for animals in need, hugs hugs to you all

I'm so sorry for you and your family's loss, Shelly. Your sister is at peace now. Watching suffering is exhausting. I hope you can recover quickly.

Shelley, I am so very sorry for your loss. Rest and process and love on all the little angels around you.

I am so sorry for your loss Shelly much love and hugs to you and your family

I am so sorry for your loss. I can certainly relate. I lost my sister to cancer within three months from her diagnosis. It has been one day at a time since then. Thank goodness you have your Tiny Kittens family to help you through this. Hugs to you❤❤

So sorry for your loss. 😢 Please take care & let your heart heal.

Shelly, I'm so sorry for your loss. Pancreatic cancer is a horrible disease. Please, know your sister is a peace and no longer suffering. She is with God and at peace. I wish for you God's peace as well. Take care of yourself you are allowed to grieve. Again, peace be with you.

Ah Shelly I am so sorry to hear this devastating news. It is the hardest news to receive when you find out that a loved one has received this horrible diagnosis. All I can say is one day at a time. Do look after yourself. One of the best pieces of advice I received was to not deny your emotions, be warned that they might creep up in the oddest places ie the produce department in the grocery store🥴 and to do whatever you can and live with the next day. I hope this makes sense❤. Bless you

I am so sorry for your loss, Shelly. Cancer is such a horrible disease and having survived for 24 years now, I am blessed but I know many who have not survived. I am also an RN so have lived with disastrous illness and major consequences of illness. You need to do whatever it is that gives you support and a measure of peace. Your nephews and BIL will need support and you should feel able to step away and give them that care and yourself the blessing of time away. My daughter was 5 when I was diagnosed and I lived through the stress of 3 surgeries and chemotherapy and the fear that I would lose my battle and leave a 5 year old with no mother. That fear didn't go away until she was into her twenties and I felt that while it would be terrible to lose me, she would survive. At 5, I wasn't sure. She is going to be 30 on August 1st and I thank God and her that I survived. They were both there for me. Feel free to do what you need to do. You have an amazing support system at TQ and while it is easy to think that they cannot survive without your love and input, they always do. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Shelly, I am so sorry. That hail was encouragement from a beautiful, gifted angel you now have.

Oh so sorry you lost your sister 💔💔 my thoughts are with you and your family. I know how major a WHIPPLE is.

May your sister's memory bless all who knew and loved her. May she make you smile on life's cloudy days.

I lost an aunt to the same cancer. It’s heartbreaking & incomprehensible. 😢

💔 I'm so so sorry for your loss. It's very courageous to come on and share. Many I'm sure with me are praying for your family. Hugs

I’m so sorry for your loss. I can relate, because I lost two aunts this year in January and March. My heart goes out to you and your family.💜

Dear Shelly, and TinyKittens ❤

My sincere condolences, I'm sure she didn't want to leave anyone, it sounds like she fought hard. Your legacy will not suffer by taking some time to mourn with your family. Please get checked, some pancreatic cancer can run in families.

Oh dear, sweet Shelly. I'm so sorry. My heart is breaking for you. So many of us have lost loved ones to cancer. Trying to write but my eyes are full of tears. Sending you and your family many hugs, and much love. 😔💔💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

Shelly, I am so very sorry for your loss. Be gentle with yourself. If you want to cry, go ahead and cry. You will feel out of your body for a year, so don't be surprised. Sending you love.

So sorry Shelly. Hope Aura and the Puffs can provide some relief for you.

I’m so sorry Shelly, sending you a big hug. The grieving process is different for everyone, take your time.

I am so sorry to hear about your sister. My Uncle died from pancreatic cancer, it is a terrible cancer. I hope you and your family find healing.

May you find comfort in knowing that your sister is at peace, no longer suffering. May God give you & your loved ones strength & healing. 🙏

Oh dear Shelly. I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear sister 😔. Thank you for letting us know. So shocking and awful. Please take comfort in your human and feline support system. We are with you. 🙏🌱

So sorry to hear about this. I lost my dad in 2011 to pancreatic cancer.

I’m so, so sorry about your sister and you and your other loved ones. I’ve been watching TinyKittens HQ since Granpaw Mason. My mother died of pancreatic cancer in 1980. She was 67. I had breast cancer, but I’ve been fine so far. I hate it that young people like your sister suffered from it. Sending you condolences from Brooklyn.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost a very close friend to breast cancer. Thankfully, she did not suffer as much as your sister. I can't imagine how hard it was to watch her go through all that she did. Seeing my friend slowly deteriorate was hard enough. I wish I could give you a short cut to the grief but as you know, there is none. I wish I could tell you how to process, but as you know we all have to find our own way. Praying for you and your family.

So sorry for your loss, Shelley.

Only just saw this, such sad news. My deepest sympathies to you Shelly and all the family. Sending much love and healing thoughts to you all.

You are correct. Many of us are on this same road and we need to hold each other close and be gentle. It is a very fragile feeling. And cats show support……but in their own way.

Shelly please know that our hearts are with you through the grief process. Deepest condolences to you and your family.
