My name is Christine and I lost my friend Brad to lung cancer in December of 2005. It is through that loss that I have become dedicated to helping others dealing with cancer. I hope you will find this a place of comfort and support, one where you can turn to when you need someone that understands where you are coming from, a place to vent and be heard, find advice and guidance and hopefully, find some peace.

CancerGrief.com is a website devoted to helping people touched by cancer. Whether you are a caregiver, a patient, family member or friend, whether you or your loved one are currently fighting this disease, are in remission or have lost their fight, it is my hope that the resources on these pages will be helpful to all.

The goal of this site is to provide cancer information, news, links and information on treatment and care facilities, blogging ideas and cancer events listings.

As sorry as I am that anyone would need a site such as this, I am happy to be able to provide this information. All of the resources found within this site are used and provided with written permission from the organization or author.

Thank you for joining me, again, in this effort..

As an advocate for the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society I am often asked to join in efforts to raise awareness and funding for research and treatment advances. Recently I was asked to join a letter writing campaign to ask the Presidential Candidates to please remember to include cancer research in their platforms.

I am urging you to contact your local political candidates and let them know how important this funding is. The recent cuts to cancer funding are not acceptable as we need to continue to wage war on this disease in order to find that cure. It is out there, we just need to continue the fight and uncover it. Lets find the end to this disease, sooner rather than later. Too many lives have already been lost. It just has to stop.

If you are uncertain of who you should contact for your area and/or state, this link is a great resource for that information.

The Butterfly is symbolic of Transformation. A symbol of birth, death and eternal life. Taken from the actual life cycle of a butterfly and the freedom of spirit it embodies as it evolves and transforms from the caterpillar to the beautifully coloured and graceful adult butterfly. I have chosen the butterfly to represent the deeper meaning of this project and therefore you will find throughout the site.
