I knew the feeling.
When I first got back, car backfires would send me sprawling on the
ground looking for cover. They were from
New Orleans, and it was easy to see the fear that had worn him down in his
caregiver journey. She was on her third bout
of cancer; but now she took care of him.
Last week, an oncologist introduced me to the term “post-traumatic
growth” (PTG). There are people who when
faced with a major life crisis flip the experience into positive, meaningful
change. My 8-year cancer struggle has
brought me new opportunities; deepened my spiritual beliefs, changed my
priorities, and given me a greater appreciation for life. Are you going through hard times, be open to growth!
