Reading back through your posts and loving your bravery, wanting to cheerlead your beautiful evocative truthful writing, feeling myself and my cancer journey in your words, understanding why I can’t cut my hair anymore after losing it, re-experiencing hormones again, hanging onto seasons, and nothing lasting forever, understanding the complex PTSD of what we lost, including dear friends on the road…and how loss and grief shapes us differently now that we have really lived it…keep writing and sharing….we need your voice.

P.S. I just realised I somehow wasn’t subscribed to you! Sorry about that. I have rectified the error :)
Thank you so much, Lydia. I so appreciate you, your kindness and your wisdom.
Cancer takes so much from us, and it’s a journey to find ourselves again. I’m glad we’re in it together!
