Poignant Advice on How to Live from a Dying 27-Year-Old

Each Day is a Gift, Not a Given Right

Holly Butcher never imagined that her young life would be cut short.

The days tick by and you just expect they will keep on coming; until the unexpected happens.

The unexpected was her shocking diagnosis of Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare form of cancer in and around the bones, at the tender age of 26. She was given months to live and was suddenly forced to face her own mortality

I just want people to stop worrying so much about the small, meaningless stresses in life and try to remember that we all have the same fate after it all so do what you can to make your time feel worthy and great, minus the bullshit.

Practice Gratitude

“Those times you are whining about ridiculous things (something I have noticed so much these past few months), just think about someone who is really facing a problem. Be grateful for your minor issue and get over it. It’s okay to acknowledge that something is annoying but try not to carry on about it and negatively effect other people’s days.
