Yet, from that point on your world has been changed forever. You enter a vast terrain of uncertainty, isolation and insecurity when you finish treatment for cancer. What is it like to face daily life now that you are finished with treatment? Fear of recurrence, anxiety and depression related to uncertainty, along with loss and financial difficulties, as well as concerns around sexuality are all a part of this new territory. You may feel alone and distressed. You have all the knowledge within you to understand and create your own healing but sometimes you need guidance to help you find where you are and support you in discovering where you want to go.” Excerpt from Surviving the Storm: A Workbook for Telling Your Cancer Story by Cheryl Krauter, MFT Let's build a conversation on how those who have been diagnosed with cancer can find ways to thrive and engage meaningfully in their lives as they navigate their diagnosis.

What does it take to weather, say, a pandemic with true strength and resiliency? My guest Cheryl Jones is a grief expert, and a therapist specializing in helping people weather loss. I know you’ll find her story as inspiring as I did. But first, I share my thoughts about how to navigate those hellish moments when you feel super charged with anger. They happen to all of us—perhaps even more often when we’re weathering quarantine with lots of others. Including kids. Below you’ll find a link to the essay on my blog I read from. Cheryl Jones is a wise, grounded woman who just makes you feel reassured about life. And I love her message of resiliency. Correctly, she has identified one of the predominant emotions we’re all weathering right now: global grief.Here’s what else I learned: Tips for navigating all kinds of grief Dealing with our own ‘survivor guilt’ if we don’t get COVID-19 or lose our job The importance of gratitude … even now Signs you might be grieving How to identify where you’re struggling, and how to cope The difference between grief and depression How to use our grief to heal ourselves … and transform our lives It’s a great show.
