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.

What we love is not just lost, it is destroyed.
I fear for my life if she is to be taken from me. I fear what I may do. Without her, there is no me.
This is my worst fear, my worst nightmare. This is the bottom.
Today was most likely our final Mother's Day together. My final Mother's Day with a mother, or any parent at all.
