When my little brother (aged 60) was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I had a hard time with anxiety, sadness and stress and so that's when I picked up my crochet again. Cancer is a brutal disease and affects not only the person with cancer, but everyone that cares about that person.

I learned to crochet (a chain) at around 5 yrs old, but only crocheted occasionally during my child rearing years.

My brother has passed now, gone almost a year, but this was my therapy during that time and after his passing. Crochet allowed me to clear my mind of sadness for periods of time and was very helpful to me.

I am working on a Barbie bride doll outfit now so until I run out of room for them, I will keep crocheting. lol
