"You have to go on with living."

Here is a heartening article I read at BBC.

Ten years ago, Sarah Cornelius was a lecturer who travelled widely and studied international criminal law. She was busily occupied. But when her son, seven-year-old Joshua was diagnosed with cancer, her life took a turn.

After Joshua was diagnosed with a very rare form of abdominal cancer at the end of 2007, Ms Cornelius decided to fill the remainder of his life with travel and fun.Together the pair went to California, New York, Florida, Lapland, Israel and took four trips to Euro Disney - she called it "a whirlwind of living".She realized the benefits it had for Joshua - his energy and constant tan fooled people into not realising how ill he actually was.

And then one day, while she and Joshua sat in the Planet Hollywood restaurant in London, Joshua asked his mother if she could arrange for his friends on the oncology ward in Llandough Hospital in the Vale of Glamorgan to also visit the restaurant. It inspired her to ensure that other terminally ill children have as full a life as possible. This idea became  all-encompassing for Ms Cornelius, and out of her drive,.The Joshua Foundation was born.

She started the charity from her parent's bedroom in Caerphilly.  It has since grown and has a staff of 15, offices in Cardiff and a cafe - Comfortably Numb - in the city centre.The Joshua Foundation also works with 11 paediatric oncology units in the UK and has close working links with two overseas units - Melbourne Children's Hospital and Haddasah Hospital, Jerusalem  This charity, which provides holidays and life-changing experiences for children with terminal illnesses, has gone on to raise over £5m and help thousands of youngsters and their families.

"I think of the way Joshua was when he was ill. I don't want to lock myself away and feel sorry for myself... Joshua was constantly on the go. Now I literally don't have a cut-off point [in my work] on a Friday and start again on a Monday. We have events on all of the time.", Sarah says.

"I learnt to live from my seven-year-old son."

Many of us give in to anger at the injustice of it all, despair and hopelessness, But in Sarah, who has found the way of love that outlives grief, we should find inspiration.
