After a few recent losses in our cancer community, we have decided it was time to dive in and chat a bit about grief. There is never a good time to talk about this, but there is no time like the present as so many of us know. 

When you become a part of the cancer community you form relationships with other cancer patients and care givers. It’s something that’s so comforting, because this person gets you - they know what it’s like to be in your shoes. There are times that the people we meet, who become our friends and support system, are no longer with us. 

No matter what, always remember to keep going. Do it for them, do it for others battling, and do it for you. Because that’s what they want for you to do. They don’t want you to look back and only remember the loss. Focus on the good times, the best parts they brought out in you. 

So continue to support others impacted by the loss, advocate, keep living, keep doing all the things that bring you joy and are important to you because if they could, they’d be doing the same.  

We don’t think this ever gets any easier. We don’t cry or mourn each loss any less…each one hurts just the same. We have learned what we need sometimes to process is time and support from others. 

Please share this episode with someone you know may be dealing with a loss of a loved one and needs a little reassurance that they are not alone.
