Rhea, that was a beautifully written piece by a beautiful person... Nope, you are not her anymore, neither is anyone who went thru cancer, concentration camp, death of a child, war, etc... Or who just grew older... The difference is that it was a drastic, fast change, though... shocking one... But life is about that - the changes, the stages, the acceptance and adjustments.... Cancer did not steal the person you were - it is going to be always inside you, it is your "Self #1" on the first stage of your life, it is combined now with your "Self #2" that went thru the horrible experience... it will be a "Self #3", etc, like the onion or cabbage, they cover each other with the center being the CORE...
You had many wonderful years of life, you are so very lucky - say the gratitude to Universe for having a chance to become what your Self t#1 was, to live that kind of life in the past....And ask Universe to help you now.... to help to lose the Fear and refine your Self #2, to show you the right direction, to enable you to enjoy and be in piece every living day NOW, while never forgetting your fantastic past, your youth efforts, your successful adulthood...
You are going to have a long life, I see it from your blog and your signature, and your potential at having fantastic Self #3,4,5 etc is tremendous... Live it all to the fullest with your new attitude, new perception, new feelings... do not fight negative feelings and fears, just accept them and meditate on losing them, on transferring them into realization that the circle of Life was created by Universe and is sacred... Who are we to question 'why", to be angry or bitter or jealous, to claim life being unfair? We had a chance to have Earthy experience, to love, to enjoy, to cry, to go thru pains, and, yes, to die when our destiny says so... How many people die without having experience you had and without even hope that they might survive? You have even more than a chance for your long life, not just a hope... Cherish that, dear Rhea... You are a very intelligent, deep person, I know you will understand very well all what I said above... I am not consoling you with cheap wordings, I feel everything and cry with you... But I am twice older and perhaps more experienced in tragic parts of Life. I would be really sad, if what I wrote did not help you a bit...
Sending you hugs and love, Vilca
