This was a wonderful tribute to a clearly incredible human being. Sitting here ugly crying and wondering how you're so eloquent in your grief. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Not only was Naomi so wonderful and proud but SJ you should be so proud of handling this incredibly difficult situation with such grace. You’re so very brave! ❤

You helped us name our children. We helped give her hope with the immunotherapy. We are forever in each other's lives. I think of you two often when I say my daughter's name, Aspen Noelle. I'm so glad I got to know Naomi, even if it was online and from across the pond. You both have enriched my life more than you know. Your love is contagious and tangible! Thank you for sharing it with us. We love you both forever ❤️

I'm so sorry for your loss, I wanted to let you know Naomi's journey encouraged me to finally get a colonoscopy, after years of IBS symptoms and next week I have a small operation to remove a growth in my colorectal area, which needs to be removed as it could turn cancerous. It was too big to remove at colonoscopy. I used to be embarrassed talking about these things but now I don't care. Thank you ❤

Whenever I don't want to get out of bed and go to work, rush around do chores, I remember what Naomi said in one of your videos. That she would give anything just to have a normal boring day. To get up and go to work. SJ you too should be proud of yourself for walking through this with such humility and strength, and love. Thank you for sharing.

My stomach did a "hard cringe" when this just popped up in my feed. Having lost 4 siblings (2 to terminal illnesses) now I feel I know what you are going through. Your sis was so brave & having you by her side must have really helped her. Sending you many hugs.

I'm so sorry to hear that Naomi passed away. As a fellow stage 4 colon cancer patient, I was praying for a miracle for her. My heart breaks for you and the whole family. Sending love and prayers.

I’ve worked as a hospice doctor and I’m so pleased to hear you speak so beautifully and eloquently about end of life care. Thank you. I’m so sorry for your loss ❤

"everyone needs a purpose" ... I'll keep Naomi's words with me, she is such an inspiring lady and it's been a privilege to have a tiny peak into her world through the podcasts , you tube and Instagram. All I feel from your words in the video is so much love and peace and I know so many will draw comfort from this now, or in the future when they need it 🕊️💖 thinking of you so much and lifting you up as you go through this journey of grief xxxx

What a tremendous gift you gave to your sister to help her feel proud of her life. That was a selfless and courageous act of love.

I am incredibly sorry for your loss. I lost my sister, very unexpectedly on May 10th. Just 2 days after that, my beloved Mom passed away. My heart goes out to you.

I'm so so sorry. I lost my little sister when I was 28 and she was 25. It's a loss that's just unlike anything else. One thing that helps me is to know that my grief and sadness is a reminder of how much I loved her. It's how I love her now that she's gone. It sounds like Naomi died with such dignity which is all we can hope for. Sending you healing

My heart breaks for you. You should be so proud of yourself and Naomi for the awareness and information you’ve given others about end of life care. It’s so true that there isn’t enough conversation about it. A persons last steps are just as important as their first. Their last words just as important as their first. Sending so much love to you and your extended family 💞

My mom passed from Glioblastoma in February. It still feels so unreal. I’m so sorry Sarah. I wouldn’t wish this pain on anybody ❤

I have absolutely NO idea how you managed to stay so composed, speaking so clearly and eloquently throughout all your agonising grief. You have more strength in you than you even realise SJ and I’m so sorry that you’ve lost your beautiful Naomi. What a lovely tribute and your video of Naomi’s story will help others in this situation. ❤

My sister was dx with Hodgkin's Lymphoma at the age of 18yrs old. She fought it until she was 22yrs old. I was her stem cell donor in 2004 and she passed in 2005. I didn't get to say my last goodbye. She was my only sibling. The pain 18yrs later is still there. The emptiness and the oddness of looking back of my childhood. It seems like my childhood was a dream, like it was not real. She is the reason I am a Patient Advocate. I am so sorry for your pain and grief.

Thank you for sharing the end of Naomi’s journey. What a wonderful and eloquent tribute to your lovely sister. She was clearly so very loved and will live on through her girls and through your memories. X

I have stage 4 colon cancer and I have two sisters and although mine isn’t terminal, I’m so scared it will become terminal and I’ll have to leave them. This video had me sobbing at your experience. I’m so so sorry what you’ve been through. She clearly had so much love and shouldn’t have been taken so soon. I’m sending you love and healing energy and thank you for sharing your experience.

All my love to you. She was a soul that would brighten up any room and you have been the most amazing sister to her. Until you meet again 🤍💫

I lost my momma to lung cancer when I was 18 months old and she was only 32. Every day I feel such a massive hole in my heart because of everything she misses out on; my daughter growing up, watching me turn into the momma I’m so proud to be. But now, as I reach almost the age she lost her life to cancer… I stop and think of what I’d give to be with my momma in those last moments holding her hand, reminding her how loved she is. I can’t explain to you what this video did for me but I felt so much of my mommas essence in this: this was her reminder to me that just because cancer is horrific doesn’t mean her last moments had to be that way too. Thank you, SJ. The strength it took to share this is so admirable. I’ll carry this with me forever. Rest in peace to your beautiful soul and from one kiddo who last their mom to another, always remind them that their momma is always in their heart.

GRIEF NEVER ENDS BUT IT CHANGES. ITS A PASSAGE, NOT A PLACE TO STAY. GRIEF IS NOT A SIGN OF WEAKNESS NOR A LACK OF FAITH. IT IS THE PRICE OF LOVE🙏🏻💙🙏🏻💙

Your love for Naomi shines through every moment. You left no stone unturned to help her and she received the best care. Thousands of us will remember Naomi in this online community. You have helped so many people by sharing your experiences, especially hospice care. Sending so much love to you and your family in this difficult time x

I lost my sister too. Your story reminded me a lot of mine. My sincere condolences ❤

I lost my older sister to cancer when I was 12 and the way you depict that specific grief spoke to my heart. She was my best friend. Thinking of you and your family. I’m so sorry ❤️

I've been following and commenting on Instagram since you first announced her diagnosis, but I still wanted to say here how deeply sorry I am. Your loss is tangible; you're so articulate and considerate in how you share. I hope you feel our love SJ. I hope Naomi felt it. All across the world; she truly has impacted people. She has changed us. I'm so glad there was so much joy; even at the end. She deserved nothing less than endless joy ❤️ Love and support to you, and the whole family

SJ I don’t know if this the first time you are dealing with grief or if this your 100th time dealing with grief but what I do know is I hope you don’t let ANYONE tell you how to do it. This is a very personal journey and it’s amazing that you have chosen to share your pain with us in the hopes that someone else feels less alone but remember at the end of the day it’s okay not to be okay. You and your family are so loved and it will get easier…I promise

What a lovely story. My husband passed away 10 years ago. After my son and I got through the grieving process we began to talk about him often. The sweet memories that were made in the past never leave you. And she will be back in the most unexpected ways. For instance I just made a major move to rebuild my life and a single red rose bloomed right outside my door. I knew is was a sign from my husband that he was glad Im happy in my new surroundings. May you and your family find peace.

Beautiful. My sister died in a hospice. I did her nails, I slept there, we watched the television, I sang to her - badly! It was a relief to be there. She wanted to die at home but got admitted. I recall all the good and difficult times. Thank you for sharing x

I’m so sorry SJ. We lost my mum to bowel cancer 20 years ago, aged 59, and I have to echo your sentiments about the hospice. My mum went into our local hospice in the hope of them managing her pain and never left. I will never forget his kind the staff were, to Mum, and to her family. Truly amazing people. ❤

This was incredibly beautiful. Your video just came up in my feed today, so I haven't known about you or your sister's journey. I wish you peace and healing. You are a very eloquent woman, with visible strength.

Sending my condolences to you and your family. Thank you for sharing. She made a huge difference!

Wow. You worded all of this so beautifully. I lost my dad last year under complete different circumstances to your beautiful sister. However watching the pain behind your eyes of the grief of losing someone so close pained my own heart. What a beautiful video I didn’t know your sister but undoubtedly she would be so proud of you and how strong you’ve remained in this video and the awareness you continue to spread to help others. I wish you lots of love to you and your family on this very long grief journey. There is no words to how it feels and the constant ache but it’s only representative of the love we had for those we lost. You’ve got this 💜

I’m so, so sorry for what you’re going through. I actually found your channel because KZfaq recommended an update video you’d made with your sister. I was in awe of how positive her demeanor was when discussing something so serious. She seemed to have a friendly energy and it’s terrible she had to go through this. I hope you and your family can find peace.

Oh Sj 😢. Long term follower here, back to your amazingly helpful speech videos. It’s so easy to feel the love you have for Naomi. It’s utterly cruel and pointless that she’s gone, but from someone who has no sister and only sons, I can’t imagine the comfort and peace she must have felt being cared for so beautifully by you, and also knowing you’re here to love her daughters. I can only imagine how deep your loss is. Lean on your people, let them carry you and you’ll somehow meander through the snow, wearing your cloak of grief and none of you will ever stop talking of her and she’ll be a part of you all, every day, forever. She’s just slipped into the next room. Xxxx

So beautiful, it is wonderful to see you here again (I follow on ig aswell)! I think that everyone that has ever listen to the podcast, have burst out laughing and just been walking around with a silly smile because of Naomi (& you) and her wonderful laugh and funny takes. Just the thought of her bring warmth to my heart and I am sure many, many others feel the same through the podcast!

You are such a wonderful person and your incredible relationship with your darling sister shines through. I'm so grateful to have been able to see her shine through you and on this channel. Thank you for sharing with us. I will always remember Naomi and her story x

I am so sorry for your loss. Naomi was an admirable person, showing so much strength through her awful time, and this was a lovely tribute. Sending love💗

Thank you so much for sharing. It’s so clear that you and Naomi had a bond stronger than just the physical being. I’m sure your souls will reconnect again one day. May she rest in eternal peace and I hope that your whole family knows that you are in all our prayers 🙏🏾

I am so deeply sorry for your loss SJ! Thank you for sharing this beautiful story! Sending prayers and thoughts to you and your family.😅

I’m so sorry for the loss of your sister. Having lost my mom a few years ago, the pain of loss can truly make you breathless. I hope some of the happier memories start to shine through in the coming weeks, months, and years. ❤

This was honestly the most beautiful tribute to a beautiful person. From your words you can tell how loved Naomi was and how much she loved you and all of her family. Grief is such a personal thing and everyone deals with it differently so don't put too much pressure on yourself because you're healing and you're learning to be able to carry on without her. You kept mentioning how proud you were of her but I couldn't imagine how proud she was of you; you were her rock and the person who stayed by her side through everything not matter how hard it got. She would be so proud of how far you've come since her passing. You're strong, you're brave and Naomi's life and legacy will live because of you and the stories you will tell to anyone who will listen. I know how hard it can be to think of a loved one who has passed but after time you find yourself smiling at the memories, the funny conversations you had and the way she walked through life with a smile on her face even when she was struggling. Remember to be kind to yourself as you will have bad days where all you want to do is cry, validate those feelings because it shows how loved she was. My love and thoughts are with you and your family x❤

I lost my sister 3 years ago. She was my best friend. It was so traumatic. We really didn’t talk about death in my family and made it so confronting. Sending love to you

So sorry for your loss, SJ. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

Thank you for making this video SJ, sending so much love to you and the family. Naomi was such an amazing person and I am so grateful you've let us follow along with you x

Aww no 😢 I'm so sorry for your loss 😇 Sending love to you and your family through this hard time ❤️

Thank you so much SJ for sharing this video with us and invited us in to hear the stories of the end of Naomi’s life. I feel like I can picture the 2 of you laughing in the hospice together, like a beautiful film you watch and cry along to. Your sisterly bond is so special and you two were both so lucky to have each other. I have been keeping you and your family in my prayers over the past few months and will continue to do so. ❤❤

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've only seen your videos recently and Naomi had the most wonderful spirit and aura. Praying for her children and your family. Sending strength ❤

I'm so sorry for your loss SJ. Naomi was a wonderful woman. I know the grief will be so overwhelming but thank you so much for sharing your and Naomi's story. As a nurse I hope one day to work in a hospice and help provide the kind of care that Naomi and your family received. Sending so much love.xx

This is a very beautiful and honest tribute that you gave to your sister. I listened to every single word you said, and while my heart breaks for you, this message will go farther than you know and reach deeper than you thought possible. Thank you for sharing❣💙

My heart goes out to you and your family. It’s so beautiful to see just how much Naomi is loved. I’m a hospice nurse and you explained hospice care just perfectly. Sending you love and strength x

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Naomi. This was such a beautiful tribute to her and you really eloquently explained end of life. I'm so glad that you were able to find beautiful moments in what is a very sad time. You are an incredible sister! Love to you and all your family SJ xxx

Just beautiful SJ, if I can live my life and love and be loved as much as your gorgeous sister Naomi has then I will be happy your pride for her shines through so wonderfully in this video. Thinking of you all and thank you for sharing x

I am so sorry for your loss!! Finding the strength to continue sharing Naomi’s story to help and support others is exactly what she would’ve wanted. She will be with you whenever you need her most❤ You have all shown such great strength at such a terrible time xx

This is just so heartbreaking but so beautifully said, it is so unfair and I am devastated for you all. You’re right Naomi should be so proud of her life, she has more love than others could ever dream of it just shows what an amazing lady she was and is xxx

Your story - straight from the heart just as you have both always shared your love, life and experiences. So beautiful and Naomi would be incredibly proud of you! I hope you are proud of yourself too. You are strong and brave. Remember to be kind to yourself and let others be there for you when you need a release too. Big hugs xx

Sending you so much love. I pray for her soul, her family, you and yours. Peace to you all. Ditto on you have shared her story and end of life beautifully. We should all be so lucky to have someone love us so deeply and honor us like you have done for Naomi.

I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing Naomi’s story. I’m so sorry you didn’t make it at the end. I lost my Nan, my best friend, very suddenly in January. We didn’t get to even say goodbye. I hadn’t seen her in a year as she moved into a home far away from me, I didn’t get to hug her and say goodbye. Grief is the hardest, I hope you and your family all work through it together. Your sister will always be by your side xxx

Naomi forever! How fun and kind she seemed, and how admirable in her approach since her diagnosis. We’re lucky you shared her with us, and she was lucky to be supported so beautifully through her end of life. You’ve both done a ton to spread awareness and make folks feel less alone - really amazing stuff. Wishing you more of the strength and resilience you’ve exhibited over the last years as you adjust to life without your sister earthside, SJ. Love to all those who knew and loved her.

I’m sorry for your loss. I’m so pleased you’re raising awareness of hospice care. I’ve just started a new role at a children’s hospice and it’s an absolutely incredible place and I wish people knew more about it

Sj this is such a beautiful tribute to that part of Naomi's story. I'm sure it will alleviate some of the fears of others who are walking the same path. Naomi's death sounds as happy & beautiful as her life was, surrounded by love. The podcast gave me hope through my trying to conceive journey and pregnancy and I know Naomi will have gave that same hope and strength to others by documenting her illness. Sending love ❤

So sorry for you loss, SJ! I’ve followed yours and Naomi’s journeys since before her diagnosis and you both handled everything that was thrown at you with such positivity and grace. I’m so glad she was proud of herself, you should be proud of yourself for your bravery in continue to educate people and tell your story, I’m sure Naomi would be eternally proud of you too 🌻

Sounds like Naomi had a beautiful passing. I’m so happy this was the case. SJ, I am so so sorry that you’re all going through this, but I hope you can find solace knowing that she left this earth in peace. I lost my Dad to pancreatic cancer and his passing was very difficult and traumatic. Sending you all the love! And thank you for sharing - you’re very brave and Naomi is proud of you; like you are of her! x

I’m so sorry for your loss SJ 💕 You should be proud of yourself too for how you’ve handled your pain and supported your sister to the end. Sending you love & support x

Sending you all so much love SJ 💖 thank you for sharing your hopes, fears, special moments and vulnerabilities too, I know you will have both touched so many people with sharing your journey xxx lots of love xxx

This was a beautiful way to honor your sister. I very unexpectedly lost my Mom a year ago. She had a leukemia and lymphoma. Was doing great. Then she took a sudden turn. I understand that feeling of what happened. You were planning one thing. Because your loved one is doing great. And then something out of nowhere changes everything. I'm praying for you and your family. Grief is hard to shoulder. Especially if you aren't prepared to say goodbye. I pray that you can find some comfort. Hold your memories tight. That way, you'll always have your sister. 🤍

This is heartbreaking but thank you for sharing, and what a wonderful tribute to your amazing sister and her amazing life xx

Thank you so much for sharing in such detail. I am deeply moved to say the least. I found this really helpful. Words can not describe the pain you must all be going through. I am so terribly sorry. Sending you all a massive heartfelt hug.

I’ve followed your lovely sisters story for a few months and was so sad to see the news of her passing on your Instagram. I hope you are proud of yourself too because you’ve done amazingly well to cope xx

I'm so sorry to hear of Naomi’s passing. Sending condolences to you and your family 🙏🏽💐

Thank you for recording this. You have helped more people than you will ever know with this. I'm so sorry for your loss. ❤

I want to send you the biggest hug! You are so lucky to have the relationship with your sister that you both have. That's special and worth so much. My condolences, and best wishes to you and her family. I am so SO sorry. She is so loved!!!

I’m so, so sorry for your loss SJ. I follow you on instagram so I knew what had happened. Yours and Naomi’s story will help others who are going through cancer. Very brave of you both to document it xxx

Sorry for your loss! Sending support! Thoughts are with you and your family!

I know your sister was so proud of herself but I must say how really proud i am of you and all your loved ones. You speak so lovingly, eloquently and wisely. I have learned so much. Sending you love and strength. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful tribute. xxxxx

So sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing this part of your life and your sister with us ❤

She will be so missed and I can see the pain you’re in. You are so brave to share your story and Naomi will live on in all of you ❤

You & Naomi are so graceful and generous ❤ both an incredible example of how to handle the most massive life moment. Sending peace ❤

Naomi’s story has touched so many hearts, but what has also touched so many hearts is being allowed to see your beautiful bond as sisters going through this journey together. Naomi was so privileged to have such a supportive, relentlessly caring and loving sister like you during her time of need. Thank you so much for bringing us along with you both and raising so much awareness, Naomi will no doubt continue to save lives and make people feel less alone in their own journeys with cancer, long into the future 🤍 take all the time you need to grieve and start healing, we will all be here for you xx

So so sorry for your loss. I have been an avid listener of Baby Name Envy since its beginning, and loved listening to both you and Naomi. Sending you and your family all the love ❤

My heart breaks for you. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, I am so grateful for Naomi’s hospice journey-they are angels on this earth. Cancer is the very very worst but there is still beauty in it all. Holding you and your family and everyone who loved her close to my heart.

I am so sorry for your loss SJ. Thank you for sharing your story. It’s never easy to lose a loved one, I lost my dad when I was very young. You did your sister Naomi proud and she will continue to live in the hearts of her dear ones. Much love and best wishes

This video moved me so much. I am so so sorry but what a wonderful tribute I can’t explain how proud I am of people I haven’t even met. Sending you all love and strength x

So sorry for the loss of your lovely sister, thanks for sharing your story, heartbreaking but beautifully told❤❤

You can feel how much you love her through this video. Thank you for sharing this broke and filled my heart. I wish you peace and healing

SJ, I dont know what to say to you other than my sincerest condolences. I started following you because my dad also has terminal cancer and I came across your videos because of the youtube algorithm. I am very close to my own sister also and it breaks my heart that you lost yours. Just know that you have become somewhat of a role model to me, especially as I am currently pregnant with my first child and admire you so much as you are being the best mom despite the absolute most difficult obstacles life is throwing at you. I have watched many of your videos on parenting since discovering your channel and I have gained so much knowledge already. I thank you for being so open about topics ranging from baby names to parenting to cancer and even to death. It is everything that preocupies my mind currently yet so few people (let alone youtubers/influencers) talk about it. I think I will follow you for a very long time as I believe that you have what counts in life and what so many influenceres and so called role models lack: true character!!! Again, I don‘t know what to say to you other than that I am thinking of you you and wishing for peace and love for you and your family ❤

Deepest condolences to you and family. The way you’ve extended yourselves to uplift, support, and save others through this devastating journey is a testament to your beautiful, loving, good souls. Naomi was really such a delightful woman with such a bright, warm spirit. I see so much of her in you. Your sisterly bond transcends space and will always exist. 🤍🤍

I'm so so sorry for your loss. Naomi was wonderful and I loved to see her in your videos, you both had such a laugh together. No words, so just wishing you and your family lots of love and peace and healing in this horrible time. We'll all remember and miss Naomi

I’m so so sorry for your loss. I’m also really proud of both of you! The legacy and memories Naomi left behind is how she will live on through you and her daughters❤

You both did absolutely everything you possibly could to prolong her life and fought hard to self advocate. You should be so proud you were such a credit to your sister and I bet she appreciated you so much and you were the reason that helped her to keep fighting. Thanks for sharing your story it’s raised awareness to me of how important it is re health stuff and I’m sure her story has helped other people to go and book an appointment or have knowledge incase. She’s saving lives, and her legend will live on through her children. Much love x

I’m so sorry SJ. What a beautiful end of life tribute. I’m so glad you recorded this while you remember everything from those weeks. Not only for you to look back on but also for the girls. I’m certain this will be a huge comfort to them in years to come when they have questions and are ready to process this part of losing their mum. Sending you all so much love 💕

Thank you for sharing SJ , you are a remarkable sister and Naomi couldn't have been any more loved ❤ and supported by you. Your loss is immeasurable. I am so glad she found peace in the hospice. She was a wonderful person. Her legacy will live on in you and her girls. ❤

Sending you so much love SJ, the way you talk about her shows how much love you have for her ❤ you should be so proud of yourself for everything you did for her and your family ❤

Im so sorry to hear you lost your sister but so glad she had a peaceful transition. You are a beautiful sister and so was she. It really got to me when you spoke about shared memories 😢 ... I feel that about my parents let alone a sibling. Im proud of the two of you ... thank you so much for sharing. 👱‍♀️❤👱‍♀️ Sisters Forever.

Oh SJ you had me crying 😢❤ You and Naomi are the epitome of sister love that many don’t experience in their lifetime. Naomi was such a ray of sunshine, strength and love, from the little we had the privilege to know her. You were both so strong through all of this and such an incredible inspiration. I also am one of two girls, and can only imagine the utter heartbreak of losing your one and only sister that you’ve been with your whole life and who knows you better than anyone ❤ It’s so beautiful that you can feel her with you at different times ❤ Sending you and your family, especially her husband, daughters and your parents so much love and strength at this incredibly sad time. Thank you for helping Naomi share her incredibly personal and touching story with us and spreading that awareness. Death is definitely not something we think about until it directly affects us. So much love to you all from Australia ❤ xxx

I’m so sorry for you and your families lost. She would be so proud of you and I can see how proud you are of her. You are both amazing for raising so much awareness. Sending so much love xxx

What a beautiful and heartbreaking video. Thankyou SJ and Naomi for sharing your stories over this journey. I’m so sorry for your loss SJ and my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family 💕

Oh SJ. An amazing tribute to your wonderful sister. I’m so glad you had the hospice experience. I lost my mum to cancer and unfortunately it was only 12 weeks from diagnosis to death. She stayed at home with me the entire time because it was impossible to get any external help in such a short timeframe, at least in our area. And while I’m grateful for that time when she entered the true end of life stage, I was absolutely lost as to what to do for the best. We had emergency doctors call out to us but that was all. No Marie Curie nurse or anything. And at the very end she needed a lot of suction (no need to go into that, deeply unpleasant) and we were lucky to get help from 2 angels of paramedics who stayed with her way beyond the time constraints they were under as we were told that the local hospital were too overloaded to do anything other than put her on a trolley in a corridor somewhere. Thankfully she was too far gone to be aware of the trauma of the situation but for those of you with loved ones who do have time to put these things in place, please listen to SJ. The very least anyone deserves is dignity and peace in their final hours and I’m so thankful that Naomi got those two things. Sending love to you all. You’ve been so strong and now you all need to grant yourselves the time to regroup and heal together x

I feel your pain and love for her so strongly through this. I am so sorry that this happened💛

I’ll always have your laughs and games from the podcast helping me remember how special and significant sister bonds are. Thank you for honoring her by sharing this story and giving so much hope and information to us all who will experience death as part of the beauty of life.

The dignity of you and your wonderful sister is just incredible. My partner and I binged listened to your podcast when I was pregnant and laughed out loud so much, your bond with each other shone through. Sending you so much love and strength and thank you for sharing your story xxx
