Be it because of their career, their credit rating at the bank or the loss of their identity and the accompanying label as a cancer patient.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">It is also often deeply ingrained in us that we have to solve our problems alone.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">However, a cancer diagnosis is not an everyday problem, rather it has an emotional impact on the person affected can be compared to a tsunami. It is too much of a challenge to cope alone with the &#8220;new&#8221; everyday life caused by all this and the therapies. Accept help!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">Countless studies confirm that social bonding is one of the most important factors in promoting a person&#8217;s health. It even plays a greater role than, for example, exercise or nutrition.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">It is not about an exact type or number of supporters, the only important thing is that you feel lovingly supported, whatever that looks like for you is entirely up to you.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">You think that no one can be asked to do that? You don&#8217;t want to be a burden to anyone?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">That is complete and utter nonsense! If someone wants to be there for you, they are happy to do so, they decide for themselves and in many cases they will even be very grateful to be able to actively help you and\u00a0concretely contribute to your recovery process.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">Now it&#8217;s about you, about your life, which is just beginning again at this moment. It is OK to put yourself first, to be the most important person in your life and to take responsibility for your health. Hand things off so that you have the time to focus on what is important \u2013 your recovery.\u00a0It does not make sense to devotedly care for your children and your loved ones if that means that you do not have enough time to conscientiously deal with your therapies and all that goes with it. The most important thing now is that you have the strength, peace and time to optimise your recovery process. However, you can only succeed if you hand over the tasks of everyday life and\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">also the ones related to<\/span><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">\u00a0the new challenges to others or share them with them. You have to think in the long term now, this will make it easier for you! Instead of the amount of time spend more valuable quality time with your children or loved ones.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\"><span style=\"color: #ff99cc;\">It will take a lot of initiative <span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">and energy.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">Think of your recovery process as your new full-time job, the most important one of your life.\u00a0Therefore, find people in your social network, who you enjoy having around, to accompany you on your journey \u2013 choose wisely. Accept all the help you can get and ask for it openly and directly, allow yourself to be helped. Everything is easier together.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"cf0\" style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">A sorrow shared is a sorrow halved is a proverb that rings true. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\"><span style=\"color: #ff99cc;\">If you find it difficult to hand over tasks, ask for small things first.<\/span> <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">You will see that you and your helpers will soon get used to it, and everyone will feel better and be grateful for it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">Probably your helpers will do some things differently then you. If this bothers you at first, ask yourself if it is really important that things continue to be done the same way or if a different approach might be just as good. Since it is not perpetual, but for the moment, let go. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">It doesn&#8217;t matter now if the socks are hanging next to each other on the washing line or not. What matters is that the laundry dries. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">For things that are particularly important to you, you can ask for them to be done as you need them. Help should relieve you of stress, not add to it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">Remember that your children can take on tasks that are appropriate for their age. They, like everyone else, are happy to take over age-appropriate responsibilities. A positive side effect is the children&#8217;s self-confidence will grow when they are given tasks and they get the feeling that they can also contribute. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">For example, a 13-year-old can go shopping and an 11-year-old can clean the dishwasher. There are many small tasks that give you a few minutes of relaxation and can easily be done by children.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">You probably know the saying:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium; color: #ff99cc;\">&#8220;If you are given, take. If they take from you, shout.&#8221; DO IT!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">Actively ask for help, gratefully accept it. Coordinating appointments, shopping, cooking, picking up children from school, accompanying them on walks, tips, advice, financial help, whatever it is you need support with, ask for it.\u00a0 Help reduces your stressors and anxiety, improves your emotional mood and even your immune system.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium; color: #ff99cc;\">And there is something else that is important.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">It&#8217;s ok if those\u00a0who you pictured or expected to do so<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>don&#8217;t take on the role they are supposed to.\u00a0Forget about good or bad manners, that is not important now. The distribution of responsibilities has to work for you and your helpers but for no one else.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">Tasks can easily be done by someone else. Be flexible and don&#8217;t be upset or disappointed if your expectations are not met. Because you will get the help you need, but from someone else. Choose these &#8216;others&#8217; carefully, rely on your gut feeling!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">People deal with a loved one&#8217;s diagnosis differently and that is\u00a0legitimate and perfectly okay. For example, if your husband doesn&#8217;t sit with you during chemo because he can&#8217;t bear it, it wouldn&#8217;t do him any good to accompany you and it would only make you nervous and sad. So find someone who finds it easier to take on this role, definitely someone who is pleasant, plays backgammon with you, brings good food and turns on some nice music.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">Your husband will take care of other important things in the meantime.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">Just as important as surrounding yourself with positive people is freeing yourself from relationships that are not good for you, that are toxic and rob your much needed energy. You don&#8217;t have the relationships for that kind of attachment. Define your boundaries and be consistent about it. Again, practice makes perfect. You will get better and better at it. Start with a small exercise. After meeting friends or family members, ask yourself if the company and conversations have been good for you. Think about it and be honest with yourself. No one can hear your thoughts, only you know your truth. It is not about putting others down, but about the fact that you need your strength for yourself. Some reactions of friends and relatives are based on hopelessness, passivity, powerlessness or fear. It is one thing to understand this, but in the end it is always you who decides what is right for you at the moment and what is not.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">The same applies to favours that are asked of you. Before you accept, pause, ask for a little time if necessary, before you answer. You can be honest, everyone will understand you or learn to understand you! Listen to yourself and honestly answer the question of whether you actually have the strength to be there for others, regardless of the fact that you would like to be there for them. And make yourself aware, again and again, that it is right and good to be there mainly for yourself now. Often you will be able to help and feel good about it. Just as often this will not be the case. Both are right as long as it is your conscious choice.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium; color: #ff99cc;\">Sometimes you will be surprised who is there for you. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">It may be people you haven&#8217;t seen in a long time, old friends or new ones you don&#8217;t know that well, or a chemo buddy who is going through the same thing as you and who you may have recently met online or through social media, or met in a support group or during therapy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">For others, it&#8217;s a four-legged friend who lovingly waits at home and is always there when you&#8217;re feeling down, motivating you to get up and leave the house together for a walk.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">A visit to the spa for a massage or facial, or to a TCM doctor for acupuncture, can also\u00a0be a way to receive caress<\/span><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium; color: #ff99cc;\">There are many ways to strengthen your social environment, go out and get it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">When I was fresh out of spinal surgery and got my diagnosis, there was this one special day. I call it Cocktail Day. That&#8217;s when I knew I could do it, just with that mix of people who all came to see me that day. Some I actively asked for things, others took the initiative themselves.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">Barbara brought me breakfast and dealt with care of my change of diet. Caroline called me via video and gave me a boost of confidence, while Zakelina gave me a cosy pink scarf to wrap myself in.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">Diana came straight from nature from a walk with her dogs and left the clay of her shoes all over the room, leaving behind the smell of forest and fresh air. She told me she had sent a photo of me and my children to the Poor Clares, religious order of nuns, they wanted to pray for me and my boys.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">Then my husband, my mother and my children were with me, they brought me drawings and raspberries and lots of love.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">Later, Lilian came with a wonderful soup of strength: a boiled beef with spinach and a radiant smile.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">Moisl stood by me with advice and support in all medical matters.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">Fanny, my sister-in-law and my friend Eva came at the same time, there was so much strength and hope in the room all at once.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">In between, my sister called to announce her visit for the next day, and last but not least, Resi and Louise came to spruce up my room and bring me only the nicest thoughts and things.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">I was completely exhausted, all in one day, but I knew full well that I was richly blessed to have such a\u00a0large group of friends and family at my side.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium; color: #ff99cc;\">They were all there for me \u2013 unconditionally.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium;\">As I write this, tears are streaming down my cheeks because I am so grateful. They all took on a role and filled it in, coping with it with me. Barbara the nutrition, Franz the companionship, Caroline the confidence and spirituality, Moisl the conventional medicine, Zakelina the security, Diana nature and faith, my family, my husband the support and keeping the family functioning, Lilian the joy and support on all levels, Fanny the hope, Eva the positive mindset and intuition, my mother the healing herbs and food supplements, above all she put her life on hold and took over my children together with our great Edyta, Resi the organisation, humour and much more, my sister the emotions and my children the strong reason to live. There were many who really were so much there for me and they were because they wanted to be, I actively let them be part of my situation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium; color: #ff99cc;\">I knew I needed them.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"font-family: noigrotesk-medium; color: #ff99cc;\">Thank you!
