Never lose hope!

Life can be so unfair, mean and hard. I speak from experience. Because for the last four years I've literally been going through hell with my family.

It all started in January 2017. My mom had a doctor's appointment there because her right armpit was swollen and it hurt. That worried us. That is why we wanted to have it clarified so that we are calmer and have certainty. That's why we went to this appointment. Then the disaster took its course.

Diagnosis: malignant tumor (also called breast cancer). For us the world stood still. The head was full and yet so empty. We felt nothing and yet so much. So many questions went through our minds like: "Why mom?", "Why now?", "How long do we deserve this?", "Is there a way to treat it?", "How long does she have to live? "," Has the tumor spread? "... So many questions and no answers. You feel so helpless and deceived.

There have been ups and downs for four years. More lows than highs but we never give up hope. Because that's why you keep fighting, never let yourself get down. Hope drives you and makes things happen that you never thought possible. Believe me, no matter how hopeless any situation may seem, never give up hope. Because in the end everything will be fine. Fight, be strong, find someone you can tell all the crap. Because that is important. Because otherwise you will go on it, burn out and you can no longer be there for anyone. Take care of yourself in such difficult situations.

It's hard to give 100% 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, for four years. But you know who you're doing all this for. Namely for your family, your loved ones and you! Allow weak moments because these are also important. But never let them gain the upper hand. Keep telling yourself: "Everything will be fine!" and "I can do it!".

And trust in fate. Because that knows what it's doing. Trust, believe and hope that everything will go its way.

I wish you only the best from the bottom of my heart! You can do everything you set out to do. I know it!
