When my husband was diagnosed with cancer, I never will forget what he said. He told me he wouldn't be taking any treatments and then said "I don't want to live cancer, I want to live life." And while we did talk about it at times in order to make the necessary life arrangements, we spent 17 months enjoying each other. He's been gone 4 years, I miss him but am so grateful for those months. You have a wonderful attitude and I enjoy your channel so much. Blessings & Prayers for you.

Hi Cathy, I can relate to what you are saying. The trauma does crazy things to our minds, bodies etc I experienced my husband at 50 had a stroke I just got home from work he stayed home from work with a headache I was at the kitchen counter he walked in the dining room and started talking I could not understand a word he said I dialed 911 so fast ambulance came and Thank God he’s still with me BUT then he started using alcohol just sips then tried to stop which let to seizure’s I found him in the bathroom I almost broke his foot getting to him UGH so scary. I had no idea what was happening to him I thought maybe another stroke so again off to ER per ambulance 🚑 This happened several times, rehab all the while he got a break Me I still had to work take care of EVERYTHING it was HARD We are married from high school now 38 years only by God’s Grace my Friend!! This is why we should be kind to each other we are all going through something hard and we need that smile from someone not ridacule we are mean enough to ourselves like you said. Please forgive grammar I have to type as fast as it comes to tell story ❤ Thank You for sharing your life with us

My father died a month ago. I’ve been emotionally eating for the past two months since his illness and death. I got on the scale this morning and I have gained 8 pounds. I was trying to figure out how to pull myself out of this downward spiral. Your video was really helpful. You have been through so much. Thank you for keeping it real. Life isn’t easy sometimes. And another thing- I woke up paralyzed from the neck down. I had dealt with episodes of weakness until that day. Long story short it was my electrolytes, specifically potassium. My potassium was in the normal range but mine needs to be higher. The name of the condition is Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis. If I wasn’t airlifted to a major hospital and paralyzed for a month they would have never figured it out.

We really do not know how strong we are until faced with devastating news or diagnosis. I marvel at how much of what you speak is exactly as I went through with my husband’s cancer diagnosis. Big difference was the time spent dealing with these feelings, your 30 years vs my 5 months from his diagnosis to death. I was a complete wreck when he was first diagnosed and couldn’t stop crying, and decided it was ok to take an antidepressant so I could be mentally strong to support him, drive him the 3 hours to appointment, hospitalizations and decision making. Everything you talked about was great advice. Thank you for your candor. ❤

Oh, Cathy. You needed to make this video as much as we needed to hear it from you. The strength and the struggle are so human. I am currently in big stress territory myself, so I’m with you. The great thing about therapy is that it’s a person to talk to who has no ties to your family and can take no “sides.” It’s you and them and your feelings. Best of luck on your steps forward, my friend. Your internet family is here for you.

Thank you for sharing. I am on a weight loss journey too. It has taken me 2 years to loose 50lbs. I have realized that I didn’t see the weight. I have been shocked at the opening of my eyes. Getting in the habit of exercising has been difficult for me. I have a minimum of 50 more pounds to lose. I am trying to think of it in small increments. Losing a pound is a win.

Thanks, Cathy. I really needed this video today. I have commented before about my husband's cancer story: sarcoma in his stomach, followed by CML, followed by glioblastoma that took his life in 2019, leaving me a widow with 2 teenage kids at age 50. So much of what you describe resonates with me. On Wednesday, my 94 year old mom, who has dementia fell and broke her hip. I have been logging long hours at the hospital the last few days. I feel like I must be there to advocate for her. Her dementia has gotten far worse since she's not in her normal surroundings. There is no one else who can help me out with caregiving. And just like in my husband's final months, I am eating whatever comes my way and am stressed to the max. I don't want to go down that road again! Thank you for the reminder to take care of myself. I wish all the best for you in the challenges you are up against. Christine from Toronto

And I was just diagnosed with radiation induced valve disease and will have to deal with replacing my aorta valve in the next six months. My two daughters are trying to be strong but are struggling. Your advice is right on, even though following it is hard. We are all in this together. I wish you love and light.

Thank you so much for this video!! I've been under the dark cloud of stress for over 30 yrs also, both of my children & hubby born with rare heart problems and I was the caregiver. Now at 66, the past 2 years has been my turn having chronic health concerns due to living under so much stress for so long. My immune system is very low and I have to get IVIG infusions every 3 weeks for the rest of my life, they make me very sick for several days!! You made me realize I should talk to a counselor to try to get thru this! I tried years ago when Drs told me my children were dying, but no one could understand the feeling! Sometimes only God can help.

Thank you for sharing Cathy. It helps to know you’re not alone. I am 74 my husband is 77 we both have health issues. My husband was diagnosed with bladder, kidney and lung cancer. Chemo is part of our lives. His health has gotten so much worse and his insurance is cheap and not helping. I am his caregiver. This is my second husband that I’ve cared for because of cancer. It is a difficult path but with the grace of God I make it every step. I’m a believer a child of God. I will pray for you and your family. ❤

Thank you for sharing your journey. You seem to be such a positive person. My son's father was recently diagnosed with CMML-2 and is facing a bone marrow/stem cell transplant. Scary times but also something to deal with as you said and enjoy what time you have on this earth. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow. I think it really does change your outlook when both of your parents are gone, you do move up in line so to speak. You are looking great, I saw your previous videos when you started your healthy eating/weight loss plan. I'm trying to lose 20 pounds along with my husband who needed to lose about 60 pounds. He is down 30 pounds and I'm down about 5 pounds. I told him it will likely take me a year to lose 20 pounds, it is what it is. Prayers for you, your husband and your family.

I stumbled across your channel this evening, and I cannot tell you how much I related to just about every word that you said. My story is different than yours, as you stated. But the trauma over the past ten years was extreme for me. I won't go on and on about it, and spare you, as you seem like a lovely lady. But after listening to you, I came to realise many of the same things you did. The main one, however, was understanding my weight gain is a result of dealing with the trauma the best I could. Sadly, I lost my husband 3 months ago to terminal bowel cancer. Now I'm finding I need something to focus on, instead of the painful things. And that something is losing weight. In 3 weeks, I have lost 7 pounds. I'm still working on it, little by little, pound by pound. Two things that have helped me: I don't buy anything that will tempt me; and I plan my meals to some extent. I also look at this experience as a lifestyle change, and not a diet. I wish you the very very best; I understand what you're going through, and I want you to be proud of all that you have accomplished. You go, girl. ❤

All you have said is true, honest and real. I recovered from stage 4 cancer last year after 6 months of chemo and was given three months to live. Now in remission, I have both been a caregiver and also a victim of cancer. Having a supportive family, a positive mindset saw me through. I had to retire at 60, but gaining purpose back, I am now back mentoring educators part time. It has helped me cope. I still suffer from anxiety every three months with my scan. Seeing a nutritionalist through the hospital was the best thing I ever did. The weight came back after chemo and now it is slowly coming off. My life partner and my daughter have been my champions. We all live on borrowed time. Thank you for the video. I have coped by talking about it and not been afraid to show my feelings. It is a bummer but also living each day with purpose can be incredibly freeing. Good work with the weight loss. I don't think what ifs anymore. Realize you are not alone.

This hit so many cords with me. Both with my mom passing with cancer and my own breast cancer. Definitely easier for the cancer person (from my experience). My sis and I took care of mom. We found that if we ‘had a good conscience’ about what we were able to do, it was enough - for all of us. My cancer changed me. I’m softer, happier, and take less for granted. 5 years since mom passed and 2 years since mastectomy and we are all in a good place. Glad you made this content. I wish you peace within yourself.

Cathy, very emotional subjects. Unsure how you can speak w/o crying. Death of loved ones and stress do horrible things to our bodies as well as living w/our fears and dealing with our emotions. Staying positive and focused is important. Agree, our mental health is ours alone to treat by seeing a good therapist. Some ppl have an overwhelming amount of adversity for which to deal. But I'm not one to compare what each of us are going through as we are individuals and we each have our own journey in life. And life is so unfair. A couple sayings I try to say to myself every day: "This too shall pass" and "Good mental health to you" (me, all of us) b/c our mental health is key. Please take care Cathy. Thank you for sharing with us your very difficult life journey.

His sibling rarely helps although she lives closer. Our adult daughter has medical problems and has changed our retirement years as we need to help her and she is currently living with us. Stress is the main reason for me to gain/regain weight over the years.

I am a fellow emotional eater and sugar is my crutch as well. I have also learned to “feel the feelings” and let them process. I need to lose about 50 lbs and it seems every time I lose a good amount, I have a setback or just give up. I am so sorry that you have had to deal with such horrible issues for so long. I will pray for you and your husband and both of your health situations. I worry about my step dad who is sole caretaker of my mom who has dementia. She is like watching a toddler now and he has his hands full. We try to help when we can with working full time. Take care of yourself dear. ❤

I have tried every wt loss ritual out there and YOU made the difference. Thank you!

Oh Cathy, I knew I would have a hard time watching this. In the midst of yet another round of specialists, tests, that lead to more tests, I have fallen behind in lots of things. But I had to watch, and then comment. You know I have said before you could give a TED talk. Hearing about your life, loss and grief, and how you have come to understand it and your reactions to it is so profound. My admiration grows exponentially every time you talk about this. Weight control isn’t just about calories or exercise. It is bound up in our experiences, our losses, our deepest coping mechanisms for the life we have been handed. Take care friend..

Totally understand what you are saying about not talking about illnesses. I think that is part of why I'm struggling with videos for my channel right now. Things are part of my life, but not my whole life, so once I healed it is hard to go back and think about it. Starting to work on weight since I've gotten my blood sugar levels a bit more in check and feel strong enough to start working through my food issues. Big hugs on your parents by the way. It's a hard ride, but eventually life gets easier.... never the same, but easier. Look forward to hearing more about your weight loss journey.

Cathy, thanks for sharing about your life! I found Balanced Plate on this channel and I’m very grateful. I know restaurants and drive-thru can be a tough habit to break! Getting waited on feels like self-care even though the food is way less healthy than what I make at home. Fortunately the Balanced Plate is so visual that I’m happy playing with my food, but I still need to prep ingredients and make some meals ahead or it all falls apart. One day at a time, right? So glad your hubby is still with you. Take good care.

Thank you as the person with an illness and have to be more dependent on my spouse and children .. I can see why they need time to themselves and an outlet for them other than just focused on this illness. I believe in the power of prayer and God is on the throne and He still heals and He still hears our prayers. Bless you Cathy and your family. Thank you for your videos and sharing with you. 🙏🏼

I’m so glad you shared your life with all of us. It’s probably good to get it off your chest. I feel for you. You have had a rough way to go. I had five surgeries in five years. And I thought I had it bad. But I’m just happy to be alive. I’m an optimistic person. I guess it’s the way I was raised. I’m feeling a lot better other than my weight. I have to take steroids to keep my cortisol level up. So evidently I don’t have enough stress in my life. And I can’t seem to lose weight taking them. I’m going to a new doctor in October, the soonest I could get in. And I’m hoping they will change my medication. I have done it myself but I feel like crap when I do. If they don’t want to do it. I can keep looking for a specialist who will. I won’t give up. My husband just tells me to deal with it. But I’m not going to. I’m 65 and I won’t give up until I get what I want. I know my body. And the stuff they want you to put into your body isn’t always good. So I refuse to take medicine I don’t want for the rest of my life.

You deserve so many kudos for the last 30 years. I appreciate this kick in the butt from you to look after me. Keep up the great work and for sharing your very personal story.

Cathy, thank you so much for opening up about what's going on and sharing your experience. I especially appreciate what you said about feelings being 100% valid and that we need to take care of ourselves. I've lost many family members recently and others are dealing with various health concerns, and you are so right about caregivers needing care and comfort of their own. My heart is with you through this hard time. You are helping so many just by sharing honestly. Thank you.
