Stories of Healing & Growth
Welcome to Wizdom Words, where understanding meets compassion. Here, two of life’s most challenging journeys intersect: battling breast cancer and enduring the breakdown of a 33-year marriage.
This blog is a personal exploration of navigating these simultaneous life-altering experiences—events few expect, but ones that can lead to profound lessons and unexpected transformations.
When I faced a breast cancer diagnosis in July 2022, it brought with it fear, uncertainty, and an entirely new battle. It’s a path no one chooses, but one that so many brave individuals are forced to walk each year. At the same time, the end of a long-term marriage added emotional complexity and the need for deep personal rediscovery.
This space is a lighthouse for those navigating the turbulent waters of a breast cancer diagnosis or any major life-altering illness. It also stands as a testament to the power of facing adversity with courage and emerging with a renewed sense of self.
This blog is not just about medical treatments—health professionals are there for that—but about the human experience behind the diagnosis. I’ll explore the emotional, psychological, and personal aspects of my journey with honesty and empathy.
Whether you’re seeking guidance for yourself or supporting a loved one, my hope is that you find comfort, information, and inspiration here. Together, we’ll uncover that even in the midst of profound challenges, there lies an opportunity for growth, healing, and new beginnings.
