Strong Enough to Feel

In a world that celebrates stoicism as strength, I discovered that true strength resides in awareness, acceptance, and the courage to feel. I was in Barcelona when my husband told me he had cancer. My first reaction was confidence: a quiet certainty that everything would be all right. But minutes later, that confidence was joined by sadness, fear, despair, and even joy, because the next day I would finally visit La Sagrada Familia before returning home. It’s fascinating how w
