A Perfect Year for Cancer
Breast cancer was her September 11, robbing her of a breast, and then allowing her to live free of it and cancer for ten years. The first five years of this decadent decade were supplemented by a daily tablet that battled the disease by limiting the normal supply of estrogen, which also served to sustain its persistent onslaught. But the tenth September 11 Memorial piercingly pronounced the expiration of her reprieve. The disease thrived undiscovered for close to a year thanks to an ER physician, surely a misnomer, who did not uphold his Hippocratic oath. But where does this recurring story begin? Beginning and end are equally unpromising; the beginning then, and only for the sake of chronology.

Cats are proven to help humans deal with grief
After my husband died I reluctantly purchase a cat from a local shelter. I recalled how being given a puppy helped me move forward after the death of my great grandmother. At that time I was only 17 and had slept in the same bed with great grandma. Even so there were teenage things to think about like boys and dates so I moved along quickly without much thought. This time my husband , whom I had been with for 45 years passed away and I did not really think a cat could help but I decided to try.

Embracing the Grieving Process
I spent most of my life being blissfully unaware of what it felt like to lose someone close. Then within 2 years I lost my Mother, and my dog Echo, who is more aptly described as my daughter. Ironically, they both passed from cancer.

Twelve First Dates
With the clink of two wine glasses, Mason and Amelia agreed that their first date officially began. Mason had circled May 12th on his refrigerator calendar for weeks and kept counting the days. The cloudy but bright sky, and crisp clean air of the late Spring afternoon added a touch of freshness and newness to the occasion.

My 5 Time Cancer Surviving Hero! A Miracle Story!
My mother has been a phenomenal mom from as far back as I can remember; approximately the age of 2. She and my father met through my mother’s brother. My father and her brother were best friends. My mother was 16 at the time and lived in a very abusive household. She and my father magically clicked and back then was her knight in shining armor. His mother loved my mother and they got along wonderfully. In fact, my grandmother even before my parents got married, told my parents they better name their first child Sadie after her. It was the English translation of her name Severina. My grandmother was sadly ill at the young age of 50 and while she was able to see them get married at the young ages of 18 and 22; she was unable to witness my being born 2 years later. My parents did honor her wishes and named me Sadie however; which was a beautiful tribute to her. Shortly after that, less than 2 years later my other brother was born. My parents, while always loving each other; were very young and divorced when I was 4.

Grief may affect your appetite in several ways
Grieving is a process that is not one-size-fits-all but it can affect your appetite. When I got the news that my brother drowned in 1993, I went 24 hours without eating anything except half of a Kentucky Fried Chicken biscuit. I was in shock and had no appetite but eventually, I began eating normally again. The death of my husband of 40 years also affected my appetite but in different ways. At first, I did not have a desire to eat and family and friends kept telling me that I should. For the first week, I felt as if I had eaten a huge meal and was never hungry. I did force myself to drink water, juice, and eat a little but I could not consume food as I did previously.

Those Stages of Grief Everyone’s Been Talking About
It’s weird when you suddenly notice in your own behaviour something as “cliché” as the famous “Five Stages of Grief”. I say “cliché” becomes I’ve heard about these so often from popular culture, books, and movies that it seems more like an narrative invention than something that could affect me so deeply.
