Donna’s mom had breast cancer in the late 60’s early 70’s, right when Donna was coming of age. Right as her mom “lost her femininity,” Donna’s journey into embracing hers was nipped in the bud. Her identity, moving from a girl to a woman with breasts, was eclipsed by her mother’s ongoing struggle for her life and failed reconstruction surgery. She even felt a little like she should hide her body change to protect her mom’s feelings.

Learn how Donna weathered the stormy nine years of her mother’s illness. Find out how an ongoing mortality moment and anticipatory grief fit into Donna’s life and identity. Discover which main principle of mastering uninvited change was the most used by Donna.
