When the tumor turned out to be cancerous, Caroline’s writing on CaringBridge shifted from providing updates for family and friends to recording what could have been some of her last words.
Caroline vowed to turn her posts into a memoir for her young sons, which she did, after surviving a year of treatment. She said the exercise of writing took her to a place where cancer couldn’t touch, and preserved her thoughts for the sons who might not remember her.
The CaringBridge Projec_t, first self-published in 2018, was followed in 2018 by _Lasting Love, a book in which Caroline shows how the bond between parent and child will last even beyond death.
