Kasey's mother was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer when she was a sophomore in high school. There is a very long family history of breast cancer on her mom's side of the family. She was in remission for one year but then the cancer came back on the other breast. Eventually it spread to her brain and bones. Kasey is an only child and has been on her own ever since. Kasey understands that no one is ever prepared to lose their parent, but feels like it is much harder to grieve alone.
Kasey's Take-Away: If you have your mom, cherish the moments that you have with her. Whatever maternal figures you have in your life, tell them thank you and let them know how much you appreciate them.
