Adapting to Life Changes

My mom died of cancer about a year ago and now my dad is diagnosed with cancer and doesn’t have too long according to the doctors. I understand that we all face things like this in life but it sure does feel awful and painful and unique when things like this are up close and personal. When I was young, I used to foolishly think “things like this won’t happen to me.” Then they do, and we have to struggle and adapt.

I guess it just feels strange sometimes when I’m feeling sad, to think that this is the way life is… bittter and sweet. I know life is amazing and worth experiencing, but I just don’t quite understand “the plan” or the reasons for why things are the way they are. I suppose this is all part of the human experience.

Thanks for reading.

Feeling lost. Not giving up.
