Between illness and forgiveness

Dear readers, this work addresses the experiences of pain and suffering associated with the fear of disability and death among women diagnosed with breast cancer. We offer you a journey into the inner universe of women facing the drama of a cancer that is still considered potentially fatal. Between illness and forgiveness, the paths are forged in the redefinition of the roles assigned to them and in the search for a new perspective on the meaning and significance of life. The transformation takes place on an inner path paved with anxiety, fear of death, incapacity in the face of adversity, dreams for the future, forgiveness and an encounter with spirituality. Reading this work invites you to reflect on our finitude, the importance of conflict resolution and forgiveness in order to express our true selves. We recommend this book to healthcare professionals, cancer patients, their families and carers, and anyone who dares to look deep within themselves to integrate spirituality into a new awareness of what it means to be human. We hope you enjoy reading it!
