When my husband (and biz partner) Matthew Cameron got diagnosed with Stage 4 non smoker’s lung cancer, we decided what we wanted to do was to LIVE through his healing journey.
I’ve been exploring Turning Points with my guests on Waking Up in America show for three years, encouraging my audience NOT to wait till something (like cancer) kicks us out of our tracks and ‘wake us up.’
Matthew’s diagnosis is definitely a turning point in our lives. But it’s one that won’t break us, or prevent us from living.
Eleven years ago, when my Dad got diagnosed with Stage 4 brain cancer and passed away only nine months later, I did break. I slipped into fear and anxiety and so much grief, it took me several years to heal from it. Despite prayers and my faith life, I wasn’t able to live. I was grieving the past. The ‘everlasting life’ was far away in the future and I wasn’t able to enjoy the miraculous life I already had in my present moments – my toddler sons, my music, my husband, my beautiful life.
