Grief Fragments is a raw, ongoing diary about being by my mother’s side as she faces terminal cancer. It is an attempt to process—and survive—grief in real-time, to stay connected to life in the midst of death, to write the unspeakable, to bear the unbearable, and to record the final months, weeks, and days I have left with my mother. I am writing for my life.

Everything I love is being taken from me.
She's all I have in the world.
I can't conceive of life without her.
Life as I knew it is over.
I just need to protect her.
I can't be completely alone in this world.
