Mum’s final post before she died aged 37 will break your heart: ‘It has been tears and tears all the time’

The final post of a mother-of-two who died after a second battle with breast cancer reveals the heartbreaking struggle of her final days.

Emma Gorrick, 37, lost her battle on Tuesday morning while holding both her husband, Dave, and her sister’s hands.

The Sydney woman had spent upwards of $350,000 on cancer treatments to prolong her life in an attempt to watch her children grow up.

Her extraordinary efforts resulted in Emma living for two years – after doctors gave her just two months to live.

In her final post on Facebook, Emma told her friends and family on September 29 that times had ‘been pretty tough lately’ as her health and the family’s finances started to dwindle. 

‘Emergency trips have finally calmed down although most of the time I’m still incredibly weak,’ she wrote.

‘Most of the time (I’m) not feeling great so I barely get to do anything or see anyone.’

The determined mother had previously beaten breast cancer in 2011 aged 25.

But the cruel disease returned this time with a terminal diagnosis, and she suffered from horrific symptoms including dizzy spells, blackouts, constant nausea and vomiting.

She was bedridden for much of the day and relied on her husband to care for her.

‘I’m not eating as much as normal anymore, mine and Dave’s mental health have really lowered, we have run out of finances so the stress is through the roof,’ she wrote in her post.

‘It has been tears and tears all the time lately just longing for my life back trying to get myself out of the depression hole I fell in but we will get there. 

‘We are an incredible team and we can get through it all. 

‘It’s just a slow and steady process of staying positive and working through it all. I’m down to 1 doc now with no other appointments to save as much as we can.’

Her post finishes with her saying she believed she ‘can still do this, I just know I can’.

Her husband took to Instagram to share a heartwarming tribute to his late wife, saying: ‘Her endless strength and positivity inspired us all to be better people, and do better things.’

‘It showed us that even when times are tough, you can still stand strong and keep stepping forward,’ he wrote.

‘You will forever be loved, and we thank you for being a beacon of light in all of our lives.’ 

Close friends of Emma’s started a GoFundMe for the family, which has raised more than $80,000.
