Blackpool: It’s been a tough time for Coleen Nolan after losing her sister Linda. Linda passed away last Tuesday after battling secondary breast cancer. She was just 65 and surrounded by family.
Coleen and her sisters were by Linda’s side during her final moments. They shared laughter and love, which brought some comfort. Coleen said it’s hard to believe Linda is gone.
Reflecting on their last day together, Coleen shared how they talked and expressed their love. Even while unwell, Linda was cracking jokes and enjoying chocolate. She wanted to hear about Coleen’s new grandson.
Before leaving, Coleen told Linda she’d visit again. Linda replied, “Col, I really love you.” That moment meant the world to Coleen. She knew it might be their last goodbye.
After a long drive home, Coleen received the heartbreaking news the next morning. She felt grateful for the time they spent together, even if it was bittersweet.
Coleen had hoped for a miracle, but knew Linda was gravely ill. When she returned to the hospital, it was clear Linda was slipping away. Family gathered around her, sharing tea and memories.
Linda had signed a DNR, and the family faced the reality of her condition. They stayed by her side, even as the hours passed. Linda was determined to hold on, but the end was near.
Linda had faced so much in her life, including the loss of her husband and mother. Despite her struggles, she remained strong and resilient. When her cancer returned, she never gave up hope.
However, when the doctors said the chemotherapy wasn’t working, it hit her hard. She felt angry and scared. Coleen was heartbroken, especially since Linda had planned to spend New Year’s with her.
Linda’s passing has reopened old wounds for the family, reminding them of their sister Bernie’s battle with cancer. They’ve set up a charity page for Trinity Hospice, honoring both sisters and the care they received.
