In an essay for HuffPost, guest writer Sarah Hunter Simanson opens up about the trauma of losing her mom to cancer four years ago at 27. “Death is an inevitable part of life. We need to talk about it more,” says Simanson, who remembers feeling alone and unprepared to watch a parent die. She’s since been to grief counseling to help cope with her loss. “The less mysterious it becomes, the better prepared we’ll be.” #LosingAParent #Cancer #Grief #Storytime #HuffPostPersonal
