Sadness has a footprint we all know too well. He was crying in the hallway, as he leaned against
a wall with one arm wrapped around his head.
I walked up, gently waited and walked him into the chapel as he
whispered, “We’ll be okay”. Sadness, triggered by events of great impact,
is our longest lasting emotion and strengthens as we ruminate and look for ways
to cope. Life with or without a cancer journey
will have sadness. My beliefs, values,
and life experiences have blessed me with an emotional resilience that gives me
the ability to be present with my feelings, but ensures I don’t stay stuck by
reminding me I’m a “thriver” not just a survivor. Do you thrive or just survive?
