Having examined my feelings and fears, my hopes and dreams, I now stand strong in who I have become.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I.S.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<p>Surprised by the mysterious image I created, I sat with it, letting the colors and symbols direct me. I allowed myself the chance to reflect on my feelings and emotions, something I did not permit myself to do while I was undergoing treatment. Reaching deep within to find meaning and seek understanding about my life, I am now at peace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; E.M.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\nI gaze into a sea of sadness, tired and unsure of my future but trying to live for today. Creating art soothes my spirit and I am held in this sacred art studio.&#8221;\n<p>&#8211; H. Mc.D.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<p>My cancer diagnosis has left me feeling shocked &#8211; emotionally, physically and financially drained.

The opportunity to express my inner thoughts and feelings in the accompaniment of others experiencing a life-threatening condition was incredibly encouraging as well as healing. While working on the art project people feel relaxed, comfortable to talk and share feelings instead of just sitting in a circle waiting for the next person to talk like a traditional support group.
