Slogan for the Breast Cancer walk by my dear friend!
Or, in BNDs case "Replace the Tata's!"
Amy - nah, I don't think it's gonna be a tougher ride.
It's amazing how certain things come into your life. It's sad with your sis (not talking about it), but it's in your life now for a reason. Even if not to assist her, it's to look back at you.
Your H is opening up about that time. That's crucial. ANd, you're hearing it, and it's tough. But, always hang onto where you are now, how far you have come as a human being. That's incredible. You can face the past, but face it with the dignity, grace and strength of the woman you have become. Don't let that go to waste.
My brother went through a similar thing (probably QLC), and nearly destroyed his professional career (a Dr). He basically dropped out of life and blew it all. Only to wake up 1 year later and go for it again and finish. He had to go back to interviews, and explain what happened to him in life - and faced how it set him back and working hard to get back what he had. He said that it was the toughest thing he had to do....but doing it, and doing it himself, was also the most rewarding and life-changing.
