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.

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.

Loss of a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide

If you have lost a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide please share your story or feelings here. Share the love and beauty of the one you lost. Losing someone any of these ways is not natural and can be hard to understand and ask why? I lost my Mother to an overdose 9 years ago. She also suffered from major depression. Her doctor got her hooked on pain medication and she was addicted most of my life. These doctors who were suppose to help her ended up killing her in the end. I also…See More
