A cancer caregiver reflects on a time when all seemed lost.

Kim is a nursing student who is hoping to find her place amongst the phenomenal oncology nurses and doctors who cared for her sister. She loves reading, volunteering and enjoying the outdoors of Colorado.
As we approach two years since my sister received her life-saving bone marrow transplant, I wanted to share a writing from when I thought it wouldn’t happen. From when all hope was lost and I was trying to reason with the reality that we were facing. My family and I are luckier than so many that despite her diagnosis and all the odds, she is here.
Having said that, I hope what wrote during that time may help others process through a similar experience.
I feel so alone. Stuck in a place that I have been before and a place that I want nothing more than to escape from. Yet I feel unable to move my legs no matter how hard I will myself to do so. Despite every want that I have, I feel as though I am not going anywhere.
