Just two days ago the journalist, who had been at the BBC for more than 15 years, bade "au revoir" to her friends, revealing she only had days left to live. She was diagnosed with cancer in 2016 and recorded the You Me and The Big C podcast, following her while she underwent treatment, and documented her cancer journey on her blog Big C Little Me.
Her family confirmed that she had died this morning shortly after 3am. Mrs Bland's husband Steve told the BBC
The Telegraph

DeleteYes told the world she had few days and was like she had accepted her fate. May she RIP. She is victorious now , above pain and sorrow
ReplyDeleteRIP
ReplyDeleteI have been down since morning because of her death. I have read every post on her blog and listened to some of her podcasts. I just don’t get why people die. I feel sad. It’s just not fair. Why can’t we all just live and not die?
ReplyDeleteRachael please say hi to my dad for me. Tell him I miss him so much. I can’t go a day without crying and remembering him.

ReplyDeleteso sad, just imaging the look on the husband's face when she died, he wouldn't know what to do. rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteRest in peace brave woman. Good a thing, she knew she was going to die and as such had the chance to make peace with God. Some people never had that chance. I believe she utilised that privilege.
