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.

Grandma sewing room

So I am almost done with cleaning my grandmas sewing room that wasn’t touched in 10 years because of all the mess, but now that she passed away 2 days ago, I don’t know if I should continue, I wanna finish what I started but I don’t know what to do, my grandpa is still alive and I don’t want to leave this burden on him.See More
