That's never bothered me before but now I'm facing the chasm of my future and it feels so empty.
I know I'm posting this in the philosophy forum but I'm less interested in the philosophical question of meaning and purpose in life and more interested in what gives your life meaning and purpose and how I can find that for myself, post-cancer.
I think you are on the right track, because you are able to look at your feelings objectively.
Sometimes that is more important than good feelings, it allows you to stand back and decide what to do.
You have experienced a big life shock, which people generally avoid by distracting themselves until they are cornered by a life threatening event.
And it can leave you feeling powerless, and that's when the future looks bleak, because you want to have some say in how things work out.
You don't want to be totally vulnerable and you deserve a much better outlook.
You are an incredibly brave person.
SDA's have had the knowledge on how to beat cancer, for over a century, even though the majority are somewhat ignorant of it, they still enjoy an average of 25 years longer life than average, and that's just by doing the very least in health reform. Not to mention a life free of disease and illness.
It has a lot to do with prevention. This is where people are turned off, because they are afraid of missing out on their garbage diet. But the food on the new diet has more color, variety and tastes, and it encompasses the best dishes of every culture.
An old fashioned book called "Back to Eden" by Jethro Kloss is a rare but comprehensive book. Jethro was a doctor some 100 years ago. He lays out what to do to cure cancer, and by reading the book you'll also become aware of a whole world of knowledge about health.
He did not have the benefits of some modern medicines, but the principles of health apply in any age. Read the introduction carefully to find out where he got his information from, and follow that lead as well.
I don't know your predicament, but you will soon have a pretty good idea of how well your body can recover, after 3 months of the new life style. You have lots of learning to do, and some exciting changes in the future.
