Being diagnosed with a major illness can feel like many things:

• Like a veil has dropped overnight between your life and the land of the well

• Like being strapped into a rollercoaster you can't get off of

• Like a never-ending series of choices between options that all sound bad

Suddenly your life is split into a before and an after.

As a cancer survivor, I've been there. And while there's no going back to the before, we can build a safe container to hold all of it—the grief, the anger, the exhaustion; all of those moments when you don't feel anything like the brave inspiration everyone seems to think you are when you get sick.

Getting the right support can really make a difference, and now more than ever you deserve a space that's just for you.
