Lee, I hear you…I feel you. I’m a cancer survivor for 38 years now, doctors told me I only have 2 yrs to live the most. I’m still here and enjoying my extended life helping, encouraging, supporting people as much as I could in every way I can & now trying to give myself the proper and more love and care which I totally forget because I made myself busy for others and their needs. I did a lot of sacrifices for others, which I don’t regret and I love helping people. I am healing myself too in a lot of traumas (generational, childhood, sexual). As I read your writing I can relate and reminisced my past with gratitude. I appreciate your courage and vulnerability in sharing your life… it’s healing not only for you but for others too. I just want to share some insights here that I read before and something to ponder…Popular Holistic Cancer-Theory Insights by..

• Louise Hay, a prominent figure in mind-body healing, suggested that certain emotional patterns might be linked to specific diseases. For instance, she proposed that sarcoma could be associated with “repressed emotions or suppressed grief” or “holding onto anger and resentment.”

• Dr. Bernie Siegel, a surgeon and proponent of mind-body medicine, emphasized the importance of emotional well-being in cancer recovery. He encouraged patients to engage in personal growth, emotional expression, and holistic healing practices to improve outcomes.

I know that already doing… writing as expression of your emotions. That’s great! You are there… keep doing what serves you all the happiness in this life. Sending you healing energy, love and prayers. May the healing hand of the God of the universe touch your body and that you live more years to help and support people all over the world as you already started. 🙏💐

Thank you for reading and taking the time to share such a thoughtful and heartfelt reply. I am sitting here at the tail end of dinner reading it. A little teary to be honest. I love Louise Hay (and other Hay house writers) but I had not heard of Doctor Siegel. I have a strong believe in the body mind connection. At the moment I am struggling to make sense of all that happened in such a short space of time - and putting this into perspective with my cancer experience that started back in 2011. All I can do is be in allowance of it all and not judge. 🙏💫

Yes, you’re doing the right thing, no judgement, Lee. Just always remember that it’s not the WHYs but WHATs & HOWs of what’s happening in our lives. It’s not easy and hard to understand, but you don’t need to understand and just let it flow and fully surrender day by day with gratefulness in heart. I know easy to say and doing is different thing but just do it anyway. Let all emotions flow and process and then just let go whatever is not helping you. My spirit is with you and I can feel you right now. I can tell that you are not the person who will give up and so keep doing and keep fighting for your healing and the world’s healing, we can’t heal the whole world but the people reading this for sure will receive healing from you! ❤️
