Profile Information

About Me:
I am the oldest of three children. We grew up in Upstate New York, and the only death I really remember was that of my grandmother, when I was 15 years old. At that age, I was able to cry, and grieve the loss of her. The loss of her was great.
About my Loss:
My mother learned about three years ago that she had cervical cancer. She had a hysterectomy and received chemo and radiation. They then said that she had gone into remission. Periodic scans eventally showed spots on her liver. On about the third day of chemo, she broke her hip. That's when they learned from a biopsy that the cancer was in her bones. She lived for about three months after that, I visited her about a week before she passed on Oct. 1, 2012.

Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
