โI was where you are nearly four years ago. For me it was a friend who stopped calling after the diagnosis. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.โ
โWhen I was first diagnosed, I didn't know what to say to my kids. I still don't have all the answers. What helped was small steps: a walk, a phone call, a nap. Don't rush to tell everyone. Take your time. The wig can wait. The tears come when they come. Just keep showing up for the next thing, even if it's just a cup of tea.โ
โHi, you. I was where you are nearly four years ago. Telling the kids without the word cancer at first. That was my life. This week I went back to my evening class. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.โ
โI was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. It was waiting four weeks for scan results and I couldn't see past it. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold.โ
