Inner Strength

From today's FB blog... I'm still struggling today, mentally and physically...don't know what else to do but rest..

 

Day 6- after round 2

Still struggling a bit....don't know what else to do but rest...

So I'll leave you with these beautiful words from Jill Eisnaugle Poetry Collection..

INNER STRENGTH;

Faith can move mountains and heal wounded hearts,
Beauty will linger where'er hope imparts;
Love can bring comfort when life seems too tough,
But, when day is finished, strength shall be enough.

Inner strength is a fortress where sanity reigns,
A pillar of peace, far from grief and pain,
A place where the sunlight so effortlessly shines,
Enshrouding the spirit in warmth, undefined.

In each moral fabric, one thing remains clear,
Through times of much hardship,
strength falls with each tear;
Thus, with every teardrop, the soul shall be cleansed,
Thanks to inner strength and support from a true friend.

No moment of struggle, marred by loss or grief,
Shall ever be greater than the wide belief,
That every challenge has reason to come,
For each heart is tailored to never succumb.

Inner strength is our light through the forest of trees,
Guiding our way, always, with the greatest of ease,
Embracing our purpose, down each earthen trail,
And the single reason, we'll always prevail.

    Hi, I think the mental struggle has been really hard - particularly towards the end of chemo. So my only advice is take it one day at a time....and rest, rest, rest.

    You'll find your 'inner strength' and get there. I have a few 'go-to' songs that help lift me at times. My friend who has gone through chemo recently used to listen to Rachel Platten's 'Fight Song' when she needed a pick me up. 

    Know that lots of us have gone and are going through what you are going. So use this forum to share and I hope lots of others give you advice/tips etc.

    Cheers
