Touching series of pictures. I don't know but I guess I have a weak spot for black and white photos and this sequence captured the love, hope, pain, and eventual loneliness so well. Almost hauntingly beautiful. I thought I'd share.

"The first time photographer Angelo Merendino met Jennifer, he knew she was the one. They fell in love and got married in New York’s Central Park, surrounded by family, friends, and loved ones.

Five months later Jen was diagnosed with breast cancer..."

damn........................... this ruined my night.
 
I feel his pain but strangely enough..the thing I took away from this and what touched me the most is how much love they had for each other. He loved her so much...and she him...I can feel it...

It is hard to think about but that is one thing we all have in common...the inevitable death we will all have to face. Hopefully...when that happens...we will be able to say that before we died...we lived...and we loved.
 
Those pictures together was a work of art, a memorial to their time together.

It's not easy to see your loved ones waste away and die before your eyes. I didn't feel sad or emotional with the pictures. They were too beautiful to feel sadness for them. They have had each other, she had him in her time of need, and he, bless him, stuck by her. In the end, we all enter the final journey and we should be glad we have someone to stand by us and appreciate who we are.... right to the end.
 
Black and white photos look less confronting and more like a memory.

Mine too. I couldn't help but cry.

I've lost several family members to this terrible disease, as well as neighbors and friends. I've made up my mind, that if I'm ever diagnosed with cancer, I will not have any surgery, chemo, or radiation, I'll just take it as it comes. I know what these treatments did to my aunt, a guy I worked for years ago, and my neighbor of many years. None of it helped, and just made them suffer more. In my opinion there are worse things than death in and of itself...

Exactly. This love is something I have longed to experience all my life, but that has eluded me entirely. I can see it in others, but I have yet to feel it. Is it better to have loved and lost, or to have never loved...
 
Cancer is a terrible disease. I'm sorry he lost his wife.
 
I thought the photos were incredible, too. Not just the execution, but also the story they told from beginning...through challenge and up to hope...and then the end.
 
I apologize if the photos made anyone cry or ruined anyone's night. I was in semi-melancholic mood (listening to Skylar Grey's "Love the Way You Lie" will do that to you) and enjoyed the beautiful, sad, yet uplifting series of photos. :)
 
Annie Leibovitz's chronicle of Susan Sontag's illness and death is also compelling, raw, uncompromising, tragic and somehow uplifting.
