Hannah Whittall, a 33-year-old mother from Staffordshire, tragically lost her battle with breast cancer, leaving behind her two young daughters. Despite bravely concealing the seriousness of her illness from her children, Hannah's determination to spend one last Christmas with them highlighted her unwavering love and devotion.
A 33-year-old mother, Hannah Whittall, from Tamworth, Staffordshire, tragically passed away from breast cancer after a courageous battle. Hannah discovered a lump under her arm just months before her diagnosis. She bravely concealed the severity of her illness from her 11-year-old twin daughters, Isabelle and Emmy, who had already experienced the loss of their father the previous year.
Hannah underwent several months of chemotherapy and a double mastectomy in August 2024, which included the removal of all lymph nodes. A month later, she was declared cancer-free. However, the disease returned swiftly, spreading to her bones. In December, Hannah was hospitalized with fluid in her lungs and pneumonia. Determined to spend one last Christmas at home with her daughters, she was discharged but her condition worsened, leading to another hospital admission due to complications from pneumonia, the HMPV virus, and sepsis. Hannah passed away on January 14th, surrounded by her family. Her daughters were present at her bedside, expressing their gratitude for everything she had taught them and for the meals she had prepared. Hannah's brother, Thomas, shared how deeply the girls adored their mother. They were inseparable, spending almost every moment together. After their father's death, Hannah became their world, a constant source of love and support. Thomas described her as an incredibly active and devoted mother, always involved in their lives. The girls, now in the care of Hannah's father and his wife, expressed their concern about their father being alone in heaven but found comfort knowing that their mother would now look after him.Thomas spoke about the heartbreaking reality of Hannah's illness, highlighting the aggressive nature of its return and the ineffectiveness of treatments. He witnessed her gradual decline and the numerous complications that arose. Despite the sadness, he cherishes memories of Hannah's final moments, especially her presence at his gender reveal party in October. Thomas is now actively raising funds through GoFundMe to support his nieces' ongoing medical needs, having already received close to €35,000 in donations within days. He expresses his immense gratitude for the outpouring of support and love received from the community
