What this blog is not about: it is not seeking for simple answers; it seeks honest experiences of people from various backgrounds and countries, believers or non believers.Henry G Platthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09840501609035561625noreply@blogger.comBlogger21100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207632015058681722.post-8612962243926599522009-04-01T22:01:00.004+02:002009-04-06T18:36:36.265+02:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jaYNI4TpFaE/SdPJgZRKF-I/AAAAAAAAAAU/9o2ENIctsUA/s1600-h/MountainTree.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319817143230535650" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jaYNI4TpFaE/SdPJgZRKF-I/AAAAAAAAAAU/9o2ENIctsUA/s200/MountainTree.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br />Breakaway to some quiet places for meditation is good for one's soul. Just to be alone to reflect on life is healing in itself.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7207632015058681722-861296224392659952?l=cancerfam.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Henry G Platthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09840501609035561625noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207632015058681722.post-47540547606531921502009-03-31T20:24:00.006+02:002009-04-21T22:42:41.086+02:00This website seeks to simply enable people to tell their sad stories, as well as their stories of hope. People can tell their stories the way it is: some with a good ending, others without any ending .... how some people get through it with strength and courage, while others never get over it.<br /><br />I have decided to develop this website because of my own experience with cancer. My dear wife got cancer. She had never been sick before. She was a jewel, a ray of hope, a friendly person that loved to be of service to other people. By profession she was a nurse, by marriage the wife of a minister of the Word. Just after less than a year after diagnosis, she died. While I was praying, holding her in my arms, she gently passed away.<br /><br />I cannot forget how she faded away. The only thing that remained the same, was her most beautiful big green eyes. It was still full of love, wide awake. While death was taunting her, she told me that she thinks that the usual stages of cancer that she had learned about, should be rewritten. At some stages she believed all the stages were present at the same time!<br /><br />This website is different than other objective, scientific writings. It is where people can write what they feel, what they experience. For I have realized that humankind has feelings, and it has to be expressed.<br /><br />This website will tell the sad stories of life, as well as the stories of hope.<br /><br />You are therefore invited to share your own stories .....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7207632015058681722-4754054760653192150?l=cancerfam.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Henry G Platthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09840501609035561625noreply@blogger.com30
