You know how they say moving house is the second highest stress besides death and divorce. Yep we have all moved house and it's pretty up there. Doesn't matter how organised you are, that last few hours seems like one of those horror movies where the hall way seems to get longer and longer but it really didnt look that long in the first place. Think we may all relate to that one!
Well being diagnosed with a life threatening illness is a terrible shock. There is a greiving process that takes place just like a divorce or death. All the people that I met with cancer and other disease has this same experience.
Denial - no way this can't be happening they have made a mistake.
Anger - omg! Are you kidding me stage 4 cancer 8 weeks to live.... I am 24 only!
Bargaining - oh wow what the hell, what can I do fly get a miracle cure.
Depression - ok that's it you win! I am outta here, I won't let you take me I will take myself. I can't do this it's way to hard.
Acceptance - this is it fight or die, the only way forward is survival!
It's normal to go through this, all of these or maybe some, I had my coffee days with lots of woman just like me. We were all scared, in shock, no idea what tomorrow would bring!
That's why sharing is important, isolation and thinking your the only one going mad isn't helpful to anyone. Join groups and reach out to others in the same place. It really helps others and yourself to go through this roller coaster ride.
