One Week Ago

One week ago today my mother died. She was 50. She had breast cancer that spread to the lining of her abdomen, after 8 years of being cancer-free. I will chronicle my grief on this site to the best of my ability. I began writing e-mails last week after I went home, to communicate to the masses as best I could. It was easier than calling people individually. I could cry and write e-mails and nobody could hear. And it was much easier to get through. I knew that everyone was getting the same information, the same way, at the same time. Eventually I'll post those e-mails here. For now I'll write about my mom, her battle, my sadness. It may be a good way for me to grieve.
