If you are a cancer survivor, a lot of this pandemic chaos probably feels remotely familiar. Anxiety over health and uncertainty, financial woes, the spreading of misinformation, the fear of impending viral doom- these emotions can be triggering and send us over the PTSD cliff. I’ve already had a few meltdowns.
If you haven’t had a major health crisis in your life yet, you’re getting a taste of the emotional world of those of us who’ve dealt or are dealing with cancer. Here are some coping tools and mindsets that have helped me get through my own personal health crisis.
Tomorrow marks one of my favorite holidays in the United States, Thanksgiving. It is a non-denominational holiday that revolves around the celebration and tradition rooted in the first Thanksgiving dinner- a time when Native Americans and Pilgrims came together to break bread, celebrate harvest and connect, despite any perceived differences.
Thanksgiving provides us a yearly opportunity to recognize those things for which we are grateful. For me, one of those things has been cancer. OK, maybe not cancer itself, but my experience with cancer. I am absolutely grateful for it. How cancer became the catalyst for me to make the connection between a joyful life and practicing gratitude.
