This is beyond tough
I’ve faced an adversity recently that has affected every part of me. My workouts have been intense as a way to vent my emotions but my diet has become irrelevant as all my mental strength has gone to just leveling myself after the bad news I received. Someone who is very important to me has, after receiving chemotherapy to treat a rare cancer, is stopping treatment. This person is my niece who is only 24 years of age. My niece and I shared a room growing up and became each others rock and carried each other through some very painful times. Now I face a world that may be without her.
I realize that life is out of our control sometimes and there is purpose behind everything. I will remain strong in the gym and have faith in Gods plan

While I know we are in different places - I did lose my dad to a brain tumor that was too far gone to treat. Were that to happen today - I realize that a strong and fit body, good rest, and good nutrition would not only help me deal with the situation better for myself - but for him as well. Take care of yourself outside of the gym as well - just my 2 cents.

There is no doubt that you have the strength and character to comfort your niece through this most challenging time. I send my kindest thoughts for both of you to be as positive as can be as the days move forward. Harris.
