I have a sad news to share with all of you.My dearest friend and an active member of this group Harsimran has left us all.She passed away on 25th of this month.She was suffring with water retention in heart and liver since last four months,last month she got septesemia and was in hospital from past ten days.She has left us physically but will remain in our memorey forever as a high spirited,courageous girl who faced peaks and valleys of life with a never say die attitude.She was not only an inspiration to me but sevrall of us thahassemics for whom she founded a group called ‘HEAL THE FRIENDS’
I pray to God to grant her soul peace and her family and friends the courage to cope up with the heavy loss which we all have suffered by her leaving us.At the end I will just say: WE MISS YOU SIMRAN!

That's very sad news, my condolence to Simran's family. I may not know her but i feel terribly saddened by this news, that another thal has succumb to complications of thalassemia.

I had greatly admired Harsimran's efforts to help her fellow Indian thals and had always offered my support. In a way she reminded me of Lisa, because in spite of her own health problems, she was concerned more about helping others. I want to share the message she had recently sent to me. I had sent her some milk thistle to try and help with her hepatitis but it was just too late by then.
DEAR ANDY,
THANK YOU as a word is not enough and would never be enough.When I received the package I had just returned from the hospital where I had a day from hell.I have now developed scepticimia and for the past 5 days I have been relegated to bed and I am not myself these days!Well god is there holding on to my hand and guiding me through crisis.Thanx again for all the wonderfull medicines it was like opening a magic box.
Rest again
luv
Simran
Dear sweet Simran, now you are in the arms of God.

Oh My God,
This news is very saddening. I had been in touch with Simran and knew she was going through some tough times. The last time, I chatted with her she mentioned about the Water Retention problem. A very energetic girl who wanted to heal not only her but was looking for helping underpriv children (as Riya has mentioned). She used to give desferal injections to those who could NOT afford it and would collect funds for these underpriv children whenever she got a chance to do so.
She did mention to me how she was complying to the Iron Chelation and her friends jokingly used to tease her that - They have never seen Simran without a pump. Her Iron levels had gone from 4000 to 10000(for some unknown reason) even with her being on Combination therapy(Desferal and L1) and that was one reason why she was frustrated. She was going through a hard time with her diabetes, iron overload and water retention problems, but I was amazed with the spirit in which she wanted to help other's. She planned parties for other thals and was working to support herself and others. She planned Awareness Camps so that people would be aware of thalassemia. She was NOT happy when she heard other thals NOT understanding what is the importance of Chelation. I salute such personalities who try to help other's even when they are going through a rough stretch. Our best tribute to her would be to carry the torch forward and do something that would make a difference (like she attempted) and try to help other's, make people aware of Thalassemia, the importance of Chelation
I pray to God and hope her family gets the strength to cope up with this sad event

I'm extremely very sorry to heed this heartrending news, my truly condolence to Simran's family, friends and Riya as well. I might not know her but I deem appallingly in tears by this news.
Sorry for this sluggish retort cause I just come around to this forum.
May God give her family the strength to bear this loss.
I'm with you all in this hour of grief and sorrow.
