I did the Headspace cancer series and it really calmed me. Acceptance is hard and slow. I look at the night sky and the vastness seems to help me have perspective. Hugs. ❤️

Hugs. There is a great Facebook group for people under 40. There are many in their 20’s. You are dealing with many things us older people are not. It’s called “Living with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer.” One thing is that it gets much easier. I promise. It’s like getting hit with a truck at first. So much overwhelm. But eventually it just becomes your new normal. ♥️
