@balvare. I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. That’s incredibly tragic and difficult under any circumstances but having children left behind is so heart-wrenching. Certainly understandable why you’re so concerned about your own continued good health right now. Taking care of your grandchildren is a full time job. And I dare say a good distraction. But it’s the quiet times when you’re alone with your reflections that gives you time to ponder all of the ‘what ifs’… This is where it’s important mentally wad up the negative thoughts and toss them in a basket! Replace them with one or two positive thoughts. It’s amazing how easy it becomes the more you do it.

Tell me a little about your daughter. What type of cancer did she have? How old are your grandchildren?
I think being optimist about how well you’re doing right now is a good place to start.
