Graphic Novel about losing my Mom

I lost my Mom to breast cancer about two and a half years ago. Her ten year battle and the abrupt end completely crushed me. The only way I knew to process was to write about it.  This has been a painful and cathartic experience that has resulted in a graphic novel (comic book) called HOMESICK.

I would be honored if members of this group would take a look at the trailer I have created for it. It is only about two and a half minutes and can be found at the following link - jasonwalz.blog.com

The trailer is at the top right of that page.

This is not a plea for attention, this is only my effort to begin meeting with people that have shared similar experiences. This book was made for us. Feel free to post here or at the blog link. I would love to talk to you.

Thanks so much.

Wow Jason.  Amazing.  I know the horrific loss and the ravages of cancer.  My story is complicated but the final chapter is sadly the same as yours.  I'll open up some time and share a bit about my situation but for now I wanted to let you know I know what you've been through and what you are going through now.

Thanks so much, Mark. Isn't is horrible that as different as all our stories may be, if cancer ends up taking the life of someone we love, it all ends in the same place. When I'm feeling optimistic, I guess i can find a little bit of comfort in that also. Communities can be extremely powerful. Take care.

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
