I wasn’t giving up without a fight!
I started reading books on psychology, disease, the spiritual and how the mind worked and tried and tested everything I was learning. That month passed, and so did the next with a new prognosis that she would live if our daughter passed five years of age.
So, we dedicated ourselves to getting to her fifth birthday, and we’re forever grateful that we did as she is with us today.
During that time, I often asked myself, “what is my learning here? Why has this happened to us? What am I missing?”.
Well, I learned about strength in the face of adversity, loneliness, how not to accept a victim consciousness and how persistence and resilience can reward you.
These learnings, however, were to be put to the test a second time when our eldest daughter, at twenty-one, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that the doctors could only treat experimentally without much hope.
My shock and distress were off the charts as, within the month, I also had to deal with both parents in severe conditions in hospital – at the same time. I walked away from my job and business to face this adversity, not knowing if I had what it took to do it over. I was running between three different hospitals, I couldn’t sleep, exhaustion and anxiety were my new norm, and this was the start of my health issues.
I cried I raged at the unfairness of it all, I began to lose faith in what I believed in, and doubt and fear became my constant companion. I found myself constantly trying to understand what I meant to understand or learn from all that was happening.
I spent countless hours with my daughter applying new learnings about mindset, the human spirit, setting goals and perseverance. Eighteen months later, things took a positive turn with our daughter and my parents surviving their ordeal.
