At times, we face losing something, gaining something and accepting the new uninvited normal. Within these events, we need to make decisions. I decided that in order to move into my healing I had to confront fear, step out in faith into unknown outcomes while trusting and believing that I would live to tell about it.
The ninth child of Betty and Ivan, in a family of ten, I grew up in a time when society seemed far less complicated. I am now married to Jim and we are empty nesters with three grown children that have graduated into their own life adventures. My pancreas cancer story started in February of 2018. Since that time, my husband, Jim and I have beat this disease. This blog tells the story of how we faced a giant and found peace and victory.
No matter the challenging life event you face, my prayer is that this blog helps you successfully walk through your distressing valley by listening to yourself, your body, your faith and approach it with positivity, faith, courage and strength one day at a time while finding purpose, meaning and a life that exceeds your expectations. This is my healing story.
Peace to you,
Rita
Book of Hope
I wrote my book, Hope, as a response to fellow travelers that were moved to hope for their own outstanding outcome upon hearing my story of healing from pancreatic cancer. While sharing my walk down the pathway to healing, I disclosed my range of emotions from doubt to hope, from anger to joy and the full gamut of emotions that anyone encounters when they face a trial like this. I shared how I eventually surrendered to the process, put my trust in God and faced my foe with hope and belief for an outstanding outcome. And because of God’s great love, mercy and kindness, I am here today to talk about it.

A time of reflection
I pause and reflect on God’s goodness and acknowledge that He is aware of my struggles. No matter what my circumstances may look like, He still desires to give me His best. I recognize that He sees and knows the long game so to speak.

…recently interviewed by the Mayo Clinic in Rochester to talk about what life is like living without a pancreas post recovery from therapy and surgery. I share some insights on how I coped through the process and some of the blessings I have experienced by reaching out to others that are facing the same disease.
Peace in the battle
“… we may feel we are caught up in a whirlwind that spins us around, we lose our footing and don’t know where to turn next…”
