Feel Alone

Cancel

Now that I have finished my treatment for breast cancer, why do I feel anxious and alone? I can’t seem to find my way back to the life I had before cancer.

I have experienced this loneliness first hand and so have my clients. Cancer poses issues fundamental to our being, such as "who am I", "what is my purpose", "what is my legacy", what is really important?", "what do I want to do with the rest of my life?. These difficult questions need to be answered to move forward with the "new" life.

When the loved ones return to their "old" lives we may feel stuck and lonely sorting out what our "new" life will be.

Do what you feel your body, mind and spirit are calling for. Your loneliness will dissolve, replaced by the feelings of peace, comfort and love.
