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.

I am alone inside myself. We all are.
Nothing can prepare you. Nothing.
Alone with my thoughts. Terrified.
Earth, swallow me.
I am made of longing.
