Embracing our Healing Journey: Our Story
Here we are, sitting in the hospital, confronting the unknown while seeking truth and understanding, only to find ourselves needing to defend our choices. It’s disheartening to explain our story and our “why” to those who seem confined to such a narrow perspective, often lacking compassion and empathy. I’m working tirelessly to shield our spirits—and our hospital room—from fear, darkness, negativity, and lies. This is a crucial time for us, and I remain committed to creating an environment of hope and light. God has revealed so much to me about myself and the reasons behind my past experiences. I believe He has placed me here to be the strongest advocate I can for my cowboy, ensuring that I honor and speak His Name throughout this journey.
This has inspired me to share our story again for those who might not be familiar with it.
At the tender age of 23, I faced the unimaginable: I became a widow, left to navigate life with a five-year-old and a one-year-old in tow. My husband’s battle with cancer—marked by the harsh realities of chemotherapy and radiation—was something out of a movie, filled with despair and heartache. Adding to this pain, I lost my mother, my best friend, to the very same mainstream treatments that promised hope but delivered heartache.
Our journey took another turn when my father-in-law was diagnosed with bladder cancer. After surgery to remove the tumor, we were devastated to learn that the cancer had spread throughout his body just months later. It became painfully clear to us that the conventional medical system was not providing the answers we desperately sought. This experience ignited a quest for knowledge, leading us to explore alternative healing methods.
Through extensive research, we discovered inspiring places around the world that successfully treat cancer with holistic approaches—focusing on nutrition, pure oxygen therapy, supplements, and other natural modalities. We made a pact that if anyone in our family faced cancer again, we would share everything we had learned.
This decision to pursue alternative healing methods became even more personal when it was time to confront my cowboy’s cancer diagnosis. As we sat in the hospital, discussing our choices with doctors, I couldn’t help but feel a deep sadness. It was disheartening to witness their skepticism as they looked at us, confused by our commitment to a different path. Its as if they are trapped in a narrow perspective, unable to see beyond the confines of conventional treatment options.
Our journey isn't focused on challenging the mainstream or proving a point. It's more about embracing a more comprehensive understanding of health and healing. We’ve learned that true wellness encompasses not just the absence of disease but a holistic approach that nourishes the body, mind, and spirit.
As we navigate this challenging journey and deepen our understanding, we recognize that it hasn't been easy. Thankfully, we have a mighty and loving God guiding our path. Yet, as our journey unfolds, we’ve noticed that some supporters have chosen to step back, and it's in these moments that we truly discover who belongs in our tribe.
We've come a long way, and it’s been a draining experience. Those who remain in our circle have been our pillars of strength, offering encouragement and prayers that keep us motivated to press on. We are profoundly grateful for each of you who has taken the time to love and support us along the way. Your presence means the world to us as we continue to embrace this journey together.
As we continue this journey, we hope to inspire others to explore all avenues of healing, to question everything, and to seek what resonates with their own truths. Our story is one of resilience, hope, belief that healing is possible in many forms, and the unwavering belief in our God Join us as we share our experiences, insights, and the holistic choices that guide us on this profound journey.
