A 25-year-old woman diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor in January 2015 died Friday, one day before her wedding, People reports. A month after being given three years to live, Swabey joined Tinder, where she met Andy Bell. She told Marie Claire she disclosed she was going to die to Bell up front, knowing that it meant she was doomed to "break his heart." She figured that would be the end of it; it wasn't. They fell for each other, and Bell stayed by Swabey's side through 12 rounds of chemo, according to Us Weekly. They even managed to have a normal relationship. "We still bicker over whose turn it is to wash the dishes," Swabey told Marie Claire. "We just make up quickly."
After 10 months of dating, Bell proposed to Swabey last December. "I cried and asked if he was sure—if we went ahead, he’d be a widower before he was 30," she said. "He said that he’d rather be married to me for a few years than not at all." They scheduled their wedding for Sept. 17, and Bell said he couldn't wait to introduce Swabey as his wife. He never got that chance. Swabey died peacefully early Friday. "Amongst our sadness, we are so proud of her courage, her spirit and the determination she showed throughout her illness," Swabey's family posted to Facebook.
Anna passed away peacefully in the early hours of this morning. I cannot put into words the heartbreak we all feel, but amongst our sadness, we are so proud of her courage, her spirit and the determination she showed throughout her illness. If ever there was a person to show us how to live, it's Anna Louise Swabey, our beautiful, brave girl.
Today should have been Anna and Andy's wedding day. Despite how incredibly tough the day has been, their family and close friends are enjoying time together in the lodges we were to stay at for their wedding weekend; enjoying the sunshine whilst taking the time to reflect and share memories of our gorgeous girl. We are all so proud of what she's achieved and overwhelmed by just how many people she has touched. Her aim was to raise awareness of brain tumours and to raise as much funding as she can for research into treatments and a cure and we know she would have been so incredibly humbled by how much support she has received. Her running total for Brain Tumour Research Campaign is £92k to date. Thank you to everyone for helping Anna reach this.
