Session One:

    The homework /creative idea for this week was to bring in a picture of our loved one

    The journal homework/prompt was to write about how we felt about the group, and why it was important to us that we go. Since I talked about mother's day, I decided to add some extra stuff into it.

     For some reason I immediately felt like crying during the group session. i think that it might have been because, I felt comforted in knowing that there are others that are persevering through too. It was nice coming to the group after a long day of working, and knowing that they're feeling the same thing that I am. This group is important to me, because I think that having a place to cry without a train effect is a good thing, because I won't be worrying about upsetting other people.


Mother's Day (Minus Mom) Plans:

Plant flowers, write on a balloon and release it at night, Sorbenots coffee, live, breathe, laugh, pretend like every breath I take isn't burning my soul up, because my mom isn't here.

     I feel like I just want to see her one more time. See the happy version of her, full of life and hope. You hear the sentence "I've got cancer...!" your whole body trembles as visions of bald, elderly people, gaunt and clearly near death dance in your head. The only noise to be heard is your own breath. "I know..., I've been spending the last hour alternating between crying and being in shock" your mom says on the other end of the phone, as if she can read your thoughts.
