Hi, My name is Cherie.
(as you can see by the name of this website).
Thank you for showing an interest in me and what I do.
The picture above is of my late husband Butch and I taken several years before he passed away after a cancer journey spanning almost three years.

Butch's passing inspired me to write my book 'Cancer Journey Handbook for Travellers, Carers & Friends. I wanted to help Travellers embarking on a cancer journey, to tell them about some of the options available to them and empower them at a time when they can feel disempowered. I also wanted to help Carers to feel less isolated and more informed, so I included a section for them in my book.

Grieving was a terrifying expedition into the unknown for me, so, to help me work through and share some of my emotions and experiences, I included a final section on Grief as well.
I self-published my book in 2008.

I am currently finalising my e-book 'Butch's Journey'. Although writing this has been a healing process for me, I'm sure there are some people who may want to read firsthand about a cancer experience, complete with the laughter and tears.

My next book is called Grieving with Honour, which I hope to begin writing at the end of this year. It is a warts and all account of the last three years as I have attempted to come to terms with my loss. I hope to inspire and uplift others who may be feeling isolated and lost as they begin their own expedition into grief.

I have also created a website Learning 2 Live Again for those of us who are grieving and want to share our thoughts, memories, fears and tears. I hope that by sharing with one another we can lift the veil on grief.
