Laura J. Schubert is a mother, writer, and kindergarten teacher. Just after her thirty-fifth birthday, she was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. Following treatment, she heeded the doctors’ recommendations to delay another pregnancy for at least two years. But her happiness at discovering that she was pregnant with her second child was short-lived. Four months into the pregnancy, she was informed that her baby had a fatal genetic defect and was likely to die in the womb. When offered the opportunity to terminate the pregnancy, she declined, relying on faith and hope to guide her through the remainder of her pregnancy.

Schubert has published more than twenty editorial pieces as a community columnist for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Going Solo

I miss my right breast. There, I said it. It’s not often that I allow myself that luxury. It’s been nearly twelve years since I had it. My late breast was warm and soft, lovely really, even if it was a shave smaller than its mate, and parting with it saddened me deeply.
