The Grief Sister

Dear Ones,

I have always been a writer and in recent years have chronicled my journey with my sister, Mary Mallette, throughout her original diagnosis in 2015 with Breast Cancer and 2019 diagnosis of AML due to her exposure to chemo and radiation from the Breast Cancer. As many of you know, she died on July 7th after a VALIANT fight and a LIFE WELL LIVED AND WELL LOVED.

Part of my self-care and therapy is writing. I have picked up my abandoned “memoir” from 2015 entitled, The Grief Sister. It is now fictionalized. I said in my original GoFundMe post, my story was about death and dying, but my mentor disagreed. She says it is a love story;  about women and how we love one another. It is particularly a love story about two sisters; and I have to say now, I agree. I also cried when my creative community told me this was how they saw the story. One of hope, one of humor (Dear God, M2 was THE funniest person I have ever known!!!) one of grace and grit and intentional love and respect.

Part of our assignment was to create a fundraiser for our projects. I have done that with GOFUNDME and I exceeded my original goal. YAY!!! 

I have raised LOTS of money over the years for non-profits, bricks and mortar projects, issues, candidates, community initiatives, but not for me and for my dreams. I am MORE THAN HUMBLED by your love and support. It has always been easier to give than to receive and I want to see this dream come true. Again, thank you for validating my efforts and I will continue this project with a heart filled with love!

Every Day Is A Day,

Be Swift and Make Haste,

Love, Love Love
