During our darkest times it can often seem like everyone else is living the perfect life, when in reality, we are all dealing with our own difficulties, often in secret.
I want to share one thing that has been very challenging for me this year, I hope that you will do the same. Maybe somebody who needs to see it will see it and feel just a little less alone even if it's just for a minute, sorry if my above paragraph made you cringe.
At the end of last year, my 52 year old mother was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. It came totally out of the blue as it does with cancer. We were all utterly devistated. The diagnosis came just as her first grandchild was about to be born and as I was planning to get married.
It has been so difficult, stressful and draining for her as well as us, and chemotherapy was the worst part of it all. Thank goodness. She has now had her surgery and all that is left is radiotherapy and then we can hopefully say goodbye to this terrible disease once and for all.
Don't lose hope everyone ❤️
