Cancer as a Catalyst for Transformation

A diagnosis that turns life upside down. It topples the previous value system into a scattered pile, leaving only the most essential pieces worth keeping. The same happens with relationships—those that matter most come to the forefront, while the less significant ones fade into the background.

This diagnosis alters one’s perception and attitude toward life, as well as the way one experiences its colors. Even nature—a flower, a tree, a river, the sea, the wind, the sun, the rain—feels different. The gradual process of aging and individuation suddenly transforms into a high-speed train ride. This makes the process of symbolization and the search for meaning all the more complex—challenging, but not impossible.

Even while navigating such a profound and difficult experience, keeping one’s eyes and heart open allows for the deep recognition of love and support from family, friends, and colleagues. Blessings continue to unfold—both in personal life and in cherished moments with friends and in working with clients.

This diagnosis vividly highlights the uniqueness of every moment and, at the same time, its fragility. That is why I encourage you, now more than ever, to string together a necklace of beautiful moments—even in difficult times. 💛✨
