Handful Of Memories

Ever wonder what it's like for others that are battling Cancer or other long term fatal sicknesses? How should we treat them, or how should we react so that it doesn't cause stress or depression for them? Afterall they are having to endure months, sometimes year long battles to keep from dying due to this and yet we all are able to walk around living our normal lives while they're watching. Sometimes they need a little more than positive energies and behavior from us, but what is it they need? They don't need lectures on goals, they already have those set in their minds. They don't need educated on tips for survival, it really isn't in their hands bc it is a disaster that they have absolutely no control over. I think it would make them wonder about their fate and destiny, but they don't need religious lectures to save them, you can pray no matter what religion your coming from and hope nothing but the best for them. In my own personal opinion, I think the greatest gift we can give these people are true friendship and they need love from their family. So much support, that they shouldn't ever have to question if they're alone in this world, or if anyone truely cares. Live life as if there's nothing wrong with them and let them vent or cry whenever they choose to they will get there when they have had enough and are ready to talk, with whoever they choose to talk to. We should never push or ask them to talk about it.

I, myself have never had to endure this battle for my own body, but have suffered months and months of this battle with my mother. We lost her May 21, 2011 and we never thought it would be so hard to lose her even though it was a relief at the same time that she no longer suffered from this tragic and heartbreaking disaster. After that & being an empath, I somewhat understand and see through my own eyes at how they possibly feel from the inside. I have listened to the small talk long enough from family and friends that are having to endure Cancers so many times over the past 10 yrs, enough to know that they do not like too many questions and people always asking them if they're ok. I could only hope that they come up with better treatments and a cure for this, it isn't fair that so many people have to fight this and if they survive, they live in worry that it will come back. It is a silent killer that we all are afraid of with or without the diagnosis, if we have it or not so we should just embrace our loved ones and enjoy life to the fullest with them until their last breath. Never forget to tell them how you feel about them and that you love them because tomorrow you may not have that chance, and will be left with just a handful of memories.
