“Because our children need so much from us, that feeling of ‘am I doing enough’ always seems to be at the forefront.”
“Every time I bake them, the smell in the house gets everyone in the kitchen waiting to eat them. That satisfaction is enough to fill my heart.”
“I remember my partner saying, ‘I can’t see anything going wrong between us.’ I replied, ‘I do, my drinking.’ He didn’t seem to grasp that I couldn’t only have a couple of drinks. With me, it was all or nothing.”
“It’s been a crazy but enjoyable ride. That’s probably weird to hear. But this amputation really brought a new perspective on life.”
“Nobody can make facing cancer easier, but he makes the rest of my life easier. Joe is an example of all the good in the world.”
“As a mom who struggles with chronic health issues, easy dinner plans are a must.”
“I’d cry every single day, unable to sleep out of fear of not being able to control my eating the next day. I was afraid to hang out with friends because of how I looked. I returned back to my younger self, inside her room struggling with food. I felt like a total failure.”
“I hid behind baggy clothes to blend in, or at least not stand out as badly. When anyone took my photo, I’d put something over my stomach or, if it was a group photo, hide in the back. I was so afraid to be seen. I was so afraid to fully live. All because I’d been taught my worth was based solely upon my body.”
“I was convinced it was my fault. I was the abusive one. Everything could’ve been prevented if I just acted differently. I thought everyone would turn against me and finally realize what I already thought I knew — I was a bad person.”
“During cancer, I had a theme song and all sorts of support. Once all the dust settled and life was supposed to return to normal, I realized the enormity of what had happened. My life was no longer normal, nor could it ever go back to what it simply was. My identity was now a mish mash of both pre-cancer and cancer, fitting none of the molds.”
