Heavenly Father, please show your love and mercy to Mike,Treehugger, Pauline, Nanny Beach and her husband. Please restore them to full health, and don't let their gardens get in a mess while they're out of action. I ask these things in Jesus' name.
If you are going to get it, ideally in a bit you can have removed and do without, thank you for good wishes and prayers folks. Just rung Hospital hes still in "recovery".And I have cut the grass today, just to make sure.
Dear Mike, I’m truly sorry to read your difficult news. I can’t imagine exactly how you’re feeling but I guess your emotions are all over the place. In my experience, that’s natural. My own brother is fighting cancer too, so I know how overwhelming it can be.
Try to concentrate, as much as you can, on matters positive: it’s treatable and medicine is advancing all the time. If others can defeat it, you can too.
I have no doubt that, at times, hope is a thing a little out of reach. When I, personally, feel like that, I cry. Crying somehow relieves my pent-up pain, fears, frustrations, anger or sense of isolation and helps me regain some approximation of equanimity. I can then look my enemy in the face and know my enemy is beatable.
It takes strength to admit our own unhappiness, especially when we feel it’s a sign of weakness; but we can’t hide from our own minds, so accepting what we are is one way of unburdening ourselves a little, I think.
At times of overwhelming stress, I try to keep my mind and body as busy as possible. To avoid my own distressing thoughts, I keep the radio on day and night; just low so it doesn’t keep me from getting some sleep – when I can sleep - but there’s always a human voice in the room.
Paradoxically, at such times I find sad songs a comfort. Perhaps they help me feel I’m not the only one in such an unhappy situation?
I’ve heard that writing a letter, to whom or whatever you wish to address, in which you make all your feelings clear, is quite helpful.
At the time of my extreme emotional pain, I had a magnificent clergyman who helped me enormously. Talking to someone, in whom you have complete confidence, is most helpful.
So, say what needs saying and keep your thoughts positive: it can and will be overcome.
