NPR: How Do We Fill In The Gap?

My Cancer

How Do We Fill In The Gap?

Everything new is new again. Over and over and over again. A birthday, Thanksgiving, and now the holidays.

All "new" after so many years, celebrating with Leroy. So what do I do? What do we do? We can all use some help here.

If you're in the "loss group" like me, is there a way to fill in the gap? If you're navigating in cancer world, you've undoubtedly had to make changes. How to celebrate special days? Altered celebrations.

Too bad we just can't meet at the corner IN-N-OUT and drown our sorrows in a
"double-double" and what is arguably the best bag of French fries this side of Mars.

Come on, we're smart and we certainly have a life experience in common that should result is some very savvy suggestions.

This is a day when all of us can really make a difference. We can help each other.
