May you rest in peace Andrea,and may your family find the peace to bear the sorrow they must endure.I,like many of our Camino family ,have tears in my eyes as we yet again mourn the passing of one of our own .please look after her Saint James,she had a hard time on your road,and now deserves her eternal rest and reward.It is with a heavy heart that I am informing you of the death if a fellow Pilgrim.
Andrea Driscoll passed away on 13th October. Details are few but we know that she made it to Santiago and was headed to Finnestere. I don't know if she made it.
She'd had a troubled pilgrimage being robbed twice and left with no money, she was struck by a motorbike and treated for bronchitis.
Her family have informed us that a mass was held at Santiago this last Friday and her name was read in a dedication.
I'm sorry but that is all the information we have at this time.
Despite this being her second pilgrimage, Andrea just wanted to get home.
Thank you all.

Excellent sentiments, Michael. I could do no better than to echo your thoughts. She must have been truly committed in her faith for the evil one to put some many obstacles in her path. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in eternal peace.Going home is never a bad thing. How joyous to return home while on pilgrimage!
The parting is bittersweet for those left behind. The void left by the departed is never filled though we may find others to fill in other places in our heart. Our heart, our mind, re-plays the memories left from a life time of experiences.
Her leaving is painful, but her path is eternal. The Sun will always shine, the gentle winds will be at her back, and may paradise surround her every step.
I am so troubled with how pilgrims are being treated in Spain! This poor woman God rest her soul for being strong to the end even through several difficulties. Spanish authorities should realize this situation and they should remember that pilgrims are their bread and butter bring much revenue in Spain.It is with a heavy heart that I am informing you of the death if a fellow Pilgrim.

well said! on a recently ill fated attempt on the vdlp and near collapsing i asked someone for water as i passed their house. he said NO and went indoors. he came back out a minute later with a grin on his face and two cans of lager! He then got his car out and drove me to the nearest hostal! Now THAT is Spain and its people and is the kind of thing that has happened consistently to me over twelve years of Camino.Hello Nathanael,
It is particularly troubling to befall a pilgrim when their time on earth was so short. However, it is worth knowing that this is a rare circumstance that I have never heard of in the experience of a single pilgrim on a single camino. If we look forward reasons, let us assume that troubles befell her in order to confirm that she really was an angel and a pilgrim saint. She endured well, she ran the good race, and was ready when the call came for her.
I have learned that it really is about how we handle adversity that is the measure of a true pilgrim. It does not matter how cold or wet, how locals respond, or how other pilgrims act. It matters how we act.
Be assured that Spain and the wonderful Spanish people are well aware of the value of the Camino. They cherish the Way and most are grateful for the many experiences they have greeting pilgrims, welcoming them to their country, and wishing them well on their way to Santiago. Try not to judge them all by the actions of those few who target pilgrims.
Buen Camino,

There is a video she made about her previous Camino in 2014. thought it would be nice to post out of respect.
Lately happened to me that I see some the sign. I look video and I saw a date, he start from SJPP 22 may, exactly the day when I start my first Camino next year.I did not know Andrea personally. I am new to the forum but I have been moved by her death. Words are never enough to express the heart felt loose of a young person. I have made a short video tha I posted on 'YOU TUBE" in memory of Andrea. It is mainly based on her 2014 video.
My condolances to all her family and friends. Buen Camino Andrea.
