Mother with incurable cancer wrote a book for daughters

Available for over a year

A cancer charity in Northern Ireland is helping people prepare for the end of their lives with some book writing. Evie and Emma Telford's mother, Lorna, died in September 2014, after living with lung cancer for five years. Mrs Telford died just before her 50th birthday leaving behind her husband of 25 years, David, 51. In the book that she wrote for her daughters, she described her feelings at missing their weddings. "I don't want all those special days to be ruined because I'm not there. I want them to remember and to think that 'Mummy would be so proud of me today' and 'Mummy would have loved this." Evie, 12, said the favourite message her mother left for her in the book reads: "All I want for you is to be happy and enjoy your life like I have done. I want you to know I am so proud of you and always will be."
