The mom was emotional and appreciated the lovely support she received from her husband and children. The family video chatted to ensure that everyone showed their support in real-time.
One family member, Randy Meyer Julius, shared the now-viral clip with the caption:
“Mom was not expecting this ending. I draw a permanent boundary line. The enemy has no right to come near my family. No scheme could ever undo God's plans, no matter the circumstance. The cross has sealed my destiny. Every name needs to bow down to the name of Jesus! We have your back, always.”

5 ways to support cancer patients
There are several ways to support a loved one battling cancer. An article by Mediclinic listed five ways people could show up for a family member with the disease:
Be honest
- Being honest with your loved one is essential, and sugarcoating their situation may leave them feeling unheard, which can contribute to their sense of loneliness and isolation.
Be present
- It’s possible to show up for your loved one even if you don’t know what to say to make them feel better. Cancer can be very isolating.
Be practical
- Find ways to show up for your loved one to make their life easier. Organising a meal plan for them or helping with chores is also an idea, as cancer patients are often exhausted from their treatments.
Be realistic
- A person battling cancer may undergo different changes and their loved ones need to support them during these transitions.
Be inclusive
- Always remember to visit or include them in group dates to avoid making them feel isolated and defined by their illness.
