The Gift of Grief

A Stepmom Remembers Her Ex-Mother-In-Law

By Krista Giovara

My ex-mother-in-law passed away recently. We knew it was coming because she’d been sick with an aggressive cancer for a long time. I got the news via text from my ex-husband. Luckily he was with two of our four kids and was able to tell them himself. He had to call our other two since they were away at school. As “expected” as her passing may have been, it was still brutal.
