Doug's Breast Cancer Story: My First Year Anniversary Without Keri

I have found that writing out my thoughts helps a lot, and what I find even more helpful is to re-read some of the entries to see where I have been and how I feel now. I know we all have our own way of "dealing" with grief after the loss of a loved one, but I would like to highly suggest keeping a journal.

It helps to get all those feelings and emotions off your chest in the times you don't have someone to talk to. And, even if you're in constant communication, there will always be those feelings you just want to keep to yourself and in your own personal place.

I pray for all our loved ones we have lost due to this battle against breast cancer and live in the hope that one day we will have a cure.
