Woman, 25, Announces Own Death On Social Media With A Powerful Final Message

“I chose not to mourn the life I was losing … but to instead enjoy every moment I had left,” wrote Daniella Thackray, who died of a rare form of cancer.

A 25-year-old woman with a rare form of cancer wrote her own eulogy — and her final message is resonating with many online.

“If you’re reading this then it means I have died from my battle with cancer and my family are posting my final message on my behalf,” read recent posts on Daniella Thackray’s Facebook and LinkedIn accounts.

Although the posts are dated Feb. 23, her fiancé, Tom Calvert, told Today that Thackray’s funeral was held Monday.

Thackray, who resided in Leeds, England, at the time of her death, decided to write a final message lacking any sense of bitterness about her tragic situation. Instead, she opted to celebrate her life.

“I LOVED my life,” Thackray wrote. “Everything I had achieved was what I wanted. I loved my job, my fiancé, my family, my friends and my dog, and the house we were going to buy and the future we were making for ourselves.”
