This is me and my Mom at the party she gave me for graduating with my Bachelor’s Degree, this was one of my accomplishments that she was most proud of
My mom sufffered many personal and financial setbacks in her life, but she did manage to purchase her own home without as she put it the help of a man. Unfortuanately, she never got to enjoy the dream of home ownership for very long,,,it was short 4 years from this moment until we received her cancer diagnosis.
This is my mom enjoying the patio life at our first home in Kelowna
Mom was an amazing co-parent to my son with me and this was one of the many events she attended with us
Mom loved being in the kitchen and entertaining
Christmas was my Mom’s favourite time of year

This is a personal story of my journey with my Mom through her terminal cancer diagnosis and the after effects in my life and the grief and healing. I am sharing it to help me and to let people know that you aren’t alone.

I am only going to talk about a small chunk of time in each post as there is so much to process and I want to give you… Continue reading A Gut Feeling
