Lessons in Loss – What I learned from losing my hair

A couple of months ago, my friend Smell over at Smelly Socks and Garden Peas invited me to contribute a guest post to her Lessons in Loss series. She asked me to write about a loss I had experienced and how it affected me.

When she first asked me to participate, I wasn’t sure. So many people have suffered devastating losses. I didn’t feel qualified to write a post about loss. When she suggested it didn’t have to be about the loss of a person, I put my thinking cap on. An idea started to take shape. I was taken back to an emotional time when I lost my hair following my cancer diagnosis.

Hi there! I’m Michelle and I live in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. I am married with two young adult daughters. I’m a big fan of reducing waste, using less plastic, decluttering and simplifying life as much as possible.

  1. I really appreciate your openness in sharing your journey and story. It’s such a freeing thing to not have your identity tied to something that can be temporary (like hair) and love that you were able to own that. My hair is a large part of my identity and I know it will be a difficult process if I ever have to lose it.

I'd love to hear your ideas. Drop me a comment below.
