Stories Collected While Living in France

French la Vie

embrace it and let it go is so so so easy to say

All of it embrace it

sad

angry

questioning

concerned

bothered

frustrated

depressed

sick

denial

pity

the why me

the why now

shock

betrayal

pain

vomiting

lack of appetite

suckiness

fleeting feeling

rage

Cancer is like taking a lovely rug (yourself) then shaking it out a window and watching every speck of dust (life's work, hopes, and dreams) go every which way and wondering how in the hell you are going to get it all back.

embrace it and let it go so so so easy to say

lean into love

lean in the forcefield of prayer 

the one hundred thousand stages of trying to live in the present moment and wanting to run one hundred thousand miles away from it.

    I am so sorry that you, and everyone in your family, are going through this. I wish there was something I could do to make even some tiny piece of it, better. I am so sorry.

    Your last line is exactly how I have felt in dealing with the cancer of a loved one. Wanting so much to be present and wanting so much to be away at the same time is a special kind of exhausting. I am sorry and send thoughts of support and hopefulness.

    A cancer diagnosis and treatment is one of hope and despair. With cancer comes good days and bad days. It is heart wrenching. My thoughts are with you.

    Serenity prayer comes to mind. Asking God to help us change the things we can change and accept the things we cannot change. Blessings.
