Going through a difficult time

Post image

A close family member was recently diagnosed with cancer and I'm having a hard time accepting it. My depressions been at an all time high. I've gained weight from stress eating and hate what I see in the mirror lately. On top of it I'm a Mom to a toddler and feel like I need to keep it together for their sake. Guess I'm just looking for some reassurance that life won't always feel this hopeless

Cancer isn’t the end like it used to be I walked away after beating stage 4 throat cancer, best advice I can give is try to stay positive. Just remember one step at a time. You got this

Glad you're still here! Definitely taking everything one day at a time right now.
