Empathy at its highest level

so so caring and thoughtful

Just as God has a purpose and an agenda for your cancer journey, so does Satan. Satan's agenda is to use your Road of Trials to make an assault on God's character. Satan wants you to stop trusting God, focus on the pain, and lose hope. Once you lose hope, your chances of survival are very low. I encourage you this week to have the mindset that you must battle with the enemy along your cancer journey. #mindset #hopeoverfear #faithovercancer #cancerjourney #selfcare #lifecoaching #thrivingwithcancer

We never know the hidden pain someone may be carrying. We don’t see the private battles those around us are fighting. We’re so quick to make assumptions based on what we see. But none of us are exempt from suffering. Everyone is tending some kind of pain. Real suffering can look invisible from the outside. Sometimes the story’s not ours to share. Sometimes the story’s too heavy or tangled to share. And sometimes we simply have to pull in close to use every bit of energy to make it through. Princess Catherine’s announcement is a reminder that we never know the hidden pain someone is carrying. It’s a reminder that we should never start with assumptions. We should start with compassion. #Cancer #combat #compassion

Surviving cancer can be tough but having conversations about it need not be. Some really good ideas here to shift and reframe questions to support those going through treatment. It has helpful conversations about what you can say to have empathy and connection to those with a cancer diagnosis. The last slide also contains the very important reminder to get your screenings as early detection can be a lifesaver. I'm 5 years out as a breast cancer survivor so I know whereof I speak. All of this is #goodadvice - and I am happy to share it far and wide.

“Acceptance of death and Cancer did not mean I intended to give up, just the opposite. I was prepared to fight Cancer not out of fear of dying, but out of the joy of living.” Edie Littlefield Sundby “Cancer is not a death sentence, but rather it is a life sentence; it pushes one to live.” Marcia Smith Awareness: If a person with cancer spends all of their energy fighting death, the focus is still on death. Instead, try putting all of your energy into embracing life, in whatever way you can, no matter how large or small. That way, the focus is on life…and in an odd twist of events…that ensures your life in every day you are alive. #livingbeyondbetrayal #betrayal #cancercoach #growthmindset #empoweredwoman #stressmanagement #intentionalliving #vacationmindset

An insightful and fun post on how to talk to someone with cancer. These points stood out to me: - Stay open to someone's story - Be curious about it, rather than offer a platitude. - Offering specific help - Just be present (and normal) rather than making them assign you a task. It is worth mentioning that if you are supporting or know someone who is going through cancer then this will impact you too and those feelings need to be taken care of. In the OET, some role plays are between a relative or carer and the healthcare professional. This highlights the importance of 'next of kin' relationships. In contrast, there is no roleplay about talking with friends of a sick person. This absence is for good reasons, namely confidentiality and privacy. Of course, people can nominate medical power of attorney (POA) to friends and loved ones so they can be part of these conversations, but this is not really a common practice. Author and podcaster, Dan Savage, notes that there are two kinds of closeness: 'the biological family and the logical family'. I agree with Dan especially after the experience of losing a close friend to cancer while I lived in Japan. We need to find healthy ways to help living with cancer and other illnesses. Thank you Sharron Moffatt (MHFA®/ACSM) for pointing us in the right direction.
