Guilt After Remission?


Aug 26, 2017:

I sent the following message to a friend who battled cancer and was recently in remission.

I would love to stand beside you in prayer for your concerns. I can feel and relate perfectly to the struggles and challenges. I'm honored that you shared. Thank you. As for me, I have a question. After you went into remission, did you ever feel overwhelmingly guilty? I don't feel it all the time, but often enough. Mostly if I pass by children with scarves or busy moms with bald heads. I know God has everyone on their own path and they must walk it, but it does make me physically ill sometimes. I realize I'm walking around living life, doing things I want to do… and they are not. I've been praying that God would give me peace about this, but I'm having a harder time than I expected with this. Obviously, no harder than them, I realize.

Also, my doctors found a hairline fracture in my lower back, but I’m totally functional. My tailbone is just super tender. I'm anxious to see what God has in store for me. I feel totally ready for whatever that might be. I've been given too much to not be grateful, for whatever way He chooses to use me.  

Thank you for praying for me. It's priceless.
