Please don’t sit in her chair,
It makes me ache that she is not here.
Two Christmasses gone,
Her place at the table will never be forgotten.
I know you are a nice person,
Not wanting to hurt me –
But when I see you sitting there,
You tear a little piece from my heart.
Living with Mom’s cancer
@Shackleford_LB
I am a scientist and a blogger. I have a PhD in the genetics of cardiovascular risk. My Mom died of cancer last year. We learnt a lot and met some amazing people. I want to share with others how to live positively with cancer, and make choices in end-of-life care. My top tip: Ask the difficult questions.
