A Piece Of Peace : Overcoming Adversity

Hello and welcome to a piece of peace. Your weekly dose of motivation and inspiration. This week, I would like to share with you on the topic of “overcoming adversity”. What are you made of? When the chips are down and push comes to shove, what lies beneath all the bravado and ego? Life has a way of knocking us down in a way we never saw coming.

Sometimes recovery from such a set back can be one of the most difficult things to do. I read somewhere a long time ago, that successful people in life are not people without life problems, they are people who respond to problems quickly and positively. My friend’s dad has gone through a series of traumatic events recently. He lost his wife about 10 years ago to breast cancer.

It was the most difficult thing for my friend and her family to handle. They battled the disease for a number of years before he lost his wife. My friend was a young girl at the time and the loss of her mother was something that she could not handle on her own. It took the whole family pulling together as a unit with love, care and determination and taking each day at a time to be able to overcome that set back.

10 years later, my friend’s dad re married. The pain of the old wife was still there but over the years, it became easier and easier to deal with. One day on a routine trip to the doctors, they noticed a lump in the breast of the new wife. Turns out she was also diagnosed with breast cancer. The cancer was aggressively spreading and she had to undergo chemotherapy. That was an even bigger blow for my friend’s dad.
