My heart really went out to Cheryl. Like her, I also lost my mother to lung cancer. The only difference is that I had 4 years to get used to the idea while she only had about a month before she lost her mom. My stepfather also died 2 months before my mom and I lost 2 very good friends a month and a half after my mom. It sucks and no one can really understand unless you have been through the same thing as well. People grieve in many different ways and it's painful to read the hateful things people have to say about her and what she did afterwards. No one is perfect. We have all done some pretty stupid things, myself included. The point is that we learn from our mistakes. We try and understand why we did the things we did and try and make sure that we don't put ourselves in that situation again. Personally I think Cheryl had a lot of balls to do what she did. I don't know many people who would have taken this 1100 mile trip by themselves like she did and then write a book telling her story and exposing everything she did to the world. Kudos to her!!
