Blog #4

 For this blog I have chosen to take a look at a topic that is special to me, cancer.  This blog, http://beautyforashes-joannah.blogspot.ca/ is about a woman that writes about her journey watching her husband fight cancer and how she deals with the grief now that he has passed.
This topic is special to me as I have just lost my Uncle/Godfather to cancer and have struggled with acknowledging that he is no longer with me.  This blog has touched me and has helped me to understand that what I am feeling is normal, and with time it does get easier.

After reading some of the authors comments and postings it was very clear to me that she dearly misses her husband and you can feel her grief from the topics she talks about.  The authors tone is full of grief and often expresses her grief through postings in how she is dealing with having her husband not with her anymore.

 Although the author often writes about the grief she is feeling, she also gives tips on how to get through some of the hardest times after losing someone.  This helping other readers to better understand what they may be feeling, especially because it is coming from someone who has experienced it.

Readers of this blog often comment on the authors post, explaining feelings that they are experiencing or how the author has inspired that individual.

I truly enjoyed reading about this woman's experience and the other comments made by other readers.  It has truly helped me with my own experience of dealing with losing someone special.
