You do not have to be strong here

One thing I’ve learned listening to people in CancerTalks:

People get tired of feeling like they have to hold it together.

Strong for family.
Strong for friends.
Strong for doctors.
Strong at work.

That gets heavy.

Sometimes support begins the moment someone can say,

“I’m scared.”
“I’m angry.”
“I’m exhausted.”

And not be judged for it.

You do not have to perform strength to be worthy of support.

That’s part of why CancerWalk exists.
