MOM I FOUND A LUMP

This is a story of relationships. I have not told it to make anyone feel sorry for me and it certainly was not my intention to elicit tears or sadness. It is a story of mother and daughter and how family members can support each other as they confront the worst blow ever dealt to them. It is a story also I hope of communication. The renowned Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross whose life study concerned the dying believed and often said that the dying have unfinished business and cannot properly prepare to leave this world until it is done. As we try to help those who are terminally ill we find that they may have conversely helped us. Thus this is a story of incredible bravery and strength. If you are going through this now or watching someone you love go through it I hope you will find something in here to make those last days more meaningful.
