A mother has announced her own death on social media after losing her battle with cancer.
Judith Gree, 44, shared the moving Facebook post via her brother following her death at the end of November.
She had been suffering from sciatica-like pain on various occasions over the last decade but medics allegedly misdiagnosed it as being a trapped nerve that would rectify itself over time, the Daily Record reports.
Tragically, she was later given a diagnosis of blood cancer but vowed to fight the disease so she could "meet her future grandchildren".
The mother-of-two received a stem cell transplant but was left heartbroken when doctors revealed that her cancer had returned just seven months later.
Judith bravely battled on and even managed to launch a campaign to recruit new bone marrow donors in a bid to help others attain the treatment.
She announced her death with a pre-arranged Facebook post on her business page, Getting Crafty.
She wrote: "Hi all, Judith here. Well it was me who wrote this but it will be my brother Dale posting on my behalf.
"So, this is it. My time is over. I am no longer alive. I just wanted to say 'thank you' to every single one of you. Thank you for supporting my Getting Crafty page over the last eight years. Thank you for allowing me to create gifts for you and your loved ones.
"Thank you for the kindness you gave when my hubby nearly died. Thank you for supporting my cancer Journey. Thank you for everything! All my love Judith xXx."
Tributes have been pouring in for the cherished wife and mother.
One friend said: "May you rest in peace Judith. What an incredible lady and mummy who fought so blooming hard. Sending my sincere condolences to your hubby, children and the rest of your family and friends. Rest in peace now your pain has ended."
Another wrote: "So sad to read this. We used to have such a laugh at work. You were such a beautiful person Judith, hope the next place is better to you. RIP, love and prayers to your family."
A third commented: "You were an inspiration to all. I will never forget the first day we met and the support you gave me in my very first job and your caring, understanding and loving personality. My thoughts are with your boys and family."
