Keeping in Touch With " Breast Friends "
At certain times of year I feel especially blessed. My birthday ( I've survived another year!), each Christmas ( catching up with family and friends) and when my swim kids are learning - having fun and succeeding!
Keeping in touch with my " Breast Friends" is a precious blessing , too. I guess it's because we really listen to each other's stories, share openly and genuinely inspire each other. Sometimes we have never met, just spoken over the phone or sent emails or cards or blogged - yet our bond is so strong and enduring!
It's a reflection on how significant breast friends are - offering support, care and comfort when someone has breast cancer. They sow so many seeds for learning so many life lessons about yourself and your relationships. They nurture self compassion, empathy and resilience. They empower confidence and courage - that you can face your fears, plus the challenges and changes ahead on your breast cancer journey.
For me, my breast friends will be my very best friends - for life !
