Cruel Cancer - 1249120

Last night my dearest mother fled her cancer ridden body for the next big adventure in life. I have only written on here a few times about my mom, but I came on and read posts weekly, to gain information and to understand more from the patient perspective, the experience of this disease. I am still processing this event and am sure that my meager brain can only handle tiny amounts of the grief headed my way.

Thank you so much for all of your wonderful comments, your personal stories, and good solid information. I know my mom did many late night searches for info on here too. Thank you for your commitment to this cancer that gets so little attention. My family and friends are planning to attend a Breathe Deep event to show our support for this community.

Thank you again,

Lacey

Lacey, I'm so sorry your mom has passed. It's interesting you put your thoughts about grief as accepting it in tiny amounts. A friend of mine told me when my mom died 3 years ago that it seemed I was letting out my grief in small amounts, bursting into tears then ok. It seems true we only allow bits at a time not to become so overwhelmed.
I hope you are able to celebrate her life as intensely as the bits of grief fall.
