A social media influencer has died at the age of 35 after almost six years of battling stage 4 breast cancer.
Nicky Newman, a breast cancer campaigner, wrote her own farewell message to her supporters as she emphasized the importance of spending quality time with your loved ones.
“If you’re reading this it means I have died,” she said. “And none of this ‘she fought her battle nonsense’, I didn’t lose anything, the cancer eventually took over & that’s okay, we all knew this would happen.”
She urged her ‘Instagramily’ followers: “So please promise me to cherish those around you and give your friends and loved ones the biggest squeezes! GO GRAB LIFE.”
Nicky thanked her followers for being with her throughout her journey. “There is more to come (with some amazing things in the works) that will aim to continue that legacy, so stick around and keep being the amazing bootiful hoomans you already are!”
After her heartwarming farewell, her husband paid tribute to ‘his lobster.’
He wrote: “A truly rare joining of souls that were simply meant to be one.”
The couple have known each other since they were 14 years old.
Instead of mourning their limited time, they decided to focus on the remaining time they had. “People instantly love and are drawn to you because ever since diagnosis, at the worst time of our lives, we chose not to mourn the time we are losing but rather to celebrate and cherish the time that we have left—however long that may be.”
Throughout Nicky’s journey, she provided hope and inspiration to many. She urged everyone to hold onto the positivity her page generated, declaring: “Then I will always be with you.”
