Being positive has its place. Definitely. However, I’ve learned with June that it cannot be the only thing.
We’ve talked about how being positive is one ingredient to tomorrow and feeling better. June talks about working with the hand she has been dealt – I talk about how reality is the commonality we all have to work with.
Don’t these work together? Why can’t we be positive and understand the reality of the situation?
Are we talking about faith? Or is it actually bigger than that? I know people who were devote believers in Gods hand in healing – but they still died. They died knowing in their heart that they would be cured. It is both sad for them and their loved ones. I think I like how June approaches it – believing that her doctors are doing their best and working with the hand their were dealt – Cancer.
Faith is belief in what we can’t see. I have faith that death is the perfect healing. Any other healing is short-lived, and therefore, imperfect. We, of course hope for this imperfect healing and strength to lime many more years.
