I was SOBBING in the first chapter - I relate so much to this book, my mother too died of cancer, only the journey was 3 years long of, good days and bad days, her death was and still is traumatic to me and I felt everything Cheryl was describing all over again, then the bad behaviors for wanting to escape, feeling lost, lost without a mother, my best friend - to having no one. Just so much to relate to and learn from, I do not feel alone or broken or lost - this book brings me comfort. I am so grateful I stumbled across this book,
