Thank you, everyone, for your unbelievable support you've shown Mahonyha and our family during such a challenging time. Your devotion to this blog has been amazing and made it more of a success then we could ever have hoped for. The smiles and emotion your posts brought to Mahonyha when they were read was so incredibly heartwarming to witness. Your generous hearts helped this blog and our wristband fundraiser to collectively raise an astonishing $20,000 to assist with Mahonyha's costs and the debt that had been accrued. I am overwhelmed with this community and those beyond, you have opened my eyes and my heart to the goodness this world has to offer,

I will continue to pay it forward.

With deepest gratitude, Megan

Welcome


This site is dedicated to Mahonyha.
For my little sister, You are my biggest inspiration! I am so proud of your courage and your devotion to healing yourself.

This site was created for two reasons: I am hoping that the majority of the posts in this blog will be from all of you, as a way to connect with Mahonyha, by posting your messages of support and wishes of wellness. This could prove to be a daily encouragement for her to visit the site and read what you have written. As well as a way for her to share with you. And secondly I am hoping that we will be able to raise some funds to assist the family with their costs for her health and medicine. Do not feel obligated to donate, for those who can or wish to the option is there, but I do hope most of you if not all of you who view this site, friends and strangers alike, will send your words of encouragement and support (Send posts to megan_moore1978@yahoo.com).

Her Story

Mahonyha was first diagnosed with a grade three Glioblastoma (brain tumour)on December 22 of 2004. She underwent surgery then chemotherapy and radiation. Following this she was on her road to recovery following a healthy foods diet and taking vitamin and herbal supplements, but despite her best efforts on August 28 of 2007 an MRI showed that the tumour had returned. Mahonyha, upon hearing this news, became completely and wholeheartedly "natural" she is entirely organic from what she puts in her body, to what she puts on it, to things within her environment. She has done an incredible amount of research and has discovered and is still discovering what she should be taking, what she should avoid and what ingredients and products cause or feed cancer. An MRI in January of 2008 showed aggressive tumour growth, In February she met with her Doctors after their review of this MRI and at this time they gave her the devastating news that she had three months to live. But where most would have called the fight, Mahonyha’s courage and determination kept her swinging, and she carried on hitting harder then ever. She is sticking religiously to her healthy lifestyle and continues to research every avenue of alternative medicine, as of now it is costing the family thousands of dollars a month to help Mahonyha maintain her health and fight this cancer, unfortunately there is no financial assistance for alternative medicine.
To Everyone near and far, who were touched by my Daughter Mahonyha; a Sister, an Aunt, and a Lover .

Saturday, February 21, 2009
Today is a glorious sunfilled Kootenay day; our sweet Mahonyha gracefully passed on during the early hours of this morning (February 21) surrounded by family, at home. Her body was bathed in rose water by her sisters and I, and clothed in her favorite cottons. Her body remained with us for the day. She passed with a most divine look on her face; at peace with the end of this journey, and joy for her liberation.

Mahonyha’s courage to accept the daunting challenge of cancer; her relentless commitment to maintaining her health; her willingness to travel down unmapped roads in search of a cure; and in the end her Grace in accepting her Dharma, has opened my heart to the wonders beyond the earthly. Her soul has touched me deeply. I am forever grateful for the gift to be Mahonyha’s Mother and friend.

Our most heartfull gratitude to all our family friends, and those we have never met from around the planet; for your Love, your Hope, your prayers and your kindness. Your energy was felt and gracefully received.

Our Family came to this area in the early seventies, four of my six children were born close by; all at home. The friendships and the support we continue to receive from all the valley communities brings me comfort that this is truly my home. I feel safe here!

Our gratitude for the tender, compassionate and respectful care of the Home Care Nurses of Nelson; Gerta, Margo, Liz, Cathy, Caroline and LJ..you all have such open hearts.Thank you Dr. Martha Wilson, for your respectful guidance and your intuitive decisions. Your sensitivity and your gentle presence were most comforting and assuring.

Thank You...to everyone who loves my daughter, and to all those touched by her. Your emotional, spiritual, and monetary support will never be forgotten.

When you visualize Mahonyha, hold her in the Light

With sadness and Joy, Selina

A public memoral is being planned. We will keep you in touch.

Hi Mahonyha.

I thought I would add to your blog since I have been wondering how things have been going with you for a while now. I am not to sure what to tell you, other then I’ll be thinking about you quite a bit. You’re a great lady and I know you can beat this. Hopefully all goes well for you. I don’t have too much to say to you here, but I’ll be checking your blog daily to see what is happening, and I’ll be saying a prayer for you. Take care I look forward to seeing you soon.

Mahonyha,

My BIG sis!! I am so thankful to be so close to you through out your life, especially in the last few years. I know living only a few minutes away, we dont see eachother every day, but there is not a day that goes by that you are not in my thoughts. There are so many things that you have learned and conquered and I know that this is going to be one of them. You are the strongest woman I have ever met, you are so determined and poised. People tell me that they see you, but they dont see the cancer, is she still sick they say? You are truely amazing. I treasure our time spent together in the last two years more than I have the previous 22 years. You have given me and my new family a whole different look on life, love and laughter, thank you!

Good luck Sweety on your upcoming MRI .... we love you, breath deep and keep on fighting, your nephew looks forward to wrestling with you, boating, glofing, and watching him grow up and change :)

You have every ounce of my strength towards your fight.
All my Love,
Your Lil' sis Em
