My mom was recently diagnosed with advanced-stage cancer. She's been through a lot, and I'm trying my best to be strong for her. But the emotional weight of it all is getting to me. I often find myself breaking down when she's resting or needs privacy.
I'm really struggling to come to terms with the idea of death and what it means for her and for me. I don't believe in a god or an afterlife, and I'm finding it hard to find comfort in that. Unlike my dad, who finds solace in his faith.
I'm looking for book recommendations to help me process all of this. I'm open to anything that's honest and relatable. Maybe a fictional story about someone dealing with loss or a biography about someone who faced a similar challenge could be helpful.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
