My husband, infant son, and good friends Elizabeth and Heidi had gathered for my head-shaving, which I felt fortunate to have been able to conduct on such an momentous day. We created a ceremony that reflected our understanding of my loss (of my beautiful long hair, of early motherhood as I had expected it to be, and of my preconceptions of myself as a healthy young woman) as well as my empowerment. You might think empowerment would be a strange thing to find during such a chaotic time, but even when our backs are up against the wall we have choices to make. For me, preemptively shaving my hair while I still had quite a bit left was liberating. I felt like I was taking action and making a choice to assume a warrior position—and look. Bald heads are fierce, after all, and they leave nothing to hide behind. More…
