Many times I expected people to know what kind of support I needed. But I realize now, I didn’t know what kind of support I needed. As soon as I was diagnosed, people would offer to help, but I never knew exactly what to tell them. I lost myself. I never truly knew the extent of help I would need.
Trust your child can handle it. They are more resilient than you think. Also, when you see them shutting down, get them help to deal with their feelings. Lastly, you are doing your best with your kids. Adding cancer into the mix is just another opportunity to get it right.
Take your life back and continue to press on. Speak life over yourself and focus on living.
Life is truly a minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour, day-by-day process. Time is valuable. Don’t waste it!
I didn’t know how to cope with having breast cancer.
I am a miracle! Despite what it looks like – if I can make it, you can make it! Find what gives you hope.
I know cancer comes in to steal your peace and joy, while turning your world upside down, but let me tell you, it changed my life.
I want the world to know that I am living with this, but it isn’t my entire identity.
I’ve had a good life and while it’s not going to be as long as I hoped, it’s still going to be significant.
