@readtalkgrowpodcast You’re so right. The lessons I learned grieving for my grandmother were in my toolkit when my mother was ill then passed away some years later. Still extremely painful but this time around I had tools.

When I was diagnosed in 2021 with stage 4 appendix cancer some years after my mother passed I was amazingly calm. I had the tools ready. They worked again.

I’ve been 3 years now in remission. I also learnt during the years of grieving my grandmother and mother not to waste time. It has always helped in some way thinking what full lives both my grandmother and my mother had lived. One day I’ll be told my cancer is back. Hopefully we’ll win again. It helped me move forward as I don’t want to put off things in case I don’t get to do them.
