today is the 15th anniversary of my mom's death. my mom was my whole world. I was only 14 when it happened, it was both expected and unexpected all at the same time.
she was diagnosed with stage 4 Ovarian Cancer when I was 4 years old. they told her she only had a year to live but she somehow made it to almost 11. sitting and waiting for all that time wondering if today would be our last day.
when it finally came. I fell back asleep like nothing had happened. I told my uncle "that's good" after he gave me the news.
I hate this day. I hate the way it makes me feel. I hate that so many people don't understand. I hate that I never got to say goodbye.
how do you handle your grief and how do you handle the depression it can cause?
