Nobody Prepares You For The End Of It

My mum was discharged from oncology. Everyone told her it was wonderful news, and they were right. She came home with a clear diary and no idea what to put in it, and I've been thinking since about how much structure the treatment was quietly providing. This is about what happens when the scaffolding comes down at exactly the moment you're expected to feel relieved, and about being congratulated on an ending while privately managing a beginning nobody has acknowledged. It's October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this is my contribution to it. There's nothing for sale in this one.
