It\u2019s huge. You need the support of others who understand,\u201d she said. \u201cI tell people, doctors saved my physical self, but Wellspring saved my life,\u201d she said.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">At age 45,\u00a0Joline\u00a0was a busy business owner, dividing her time between work and family when she was\u00a0diagnosed with melanoma.\u00a0Like many, she felt blindsided.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Prior to that point,\u00a0Joline\u2019s life path\u00a0was\u00a0paved with\u00a0turbulence and\u00a0adversity, including teen motherhood, a\u00a0son born\u00a0with a\u00a0life-threatening\u00a0disease,\u00a0the loss of a husband\u00a0to suicide, and a devastating car accident. But it was when she was on her feet, happily remarried,\u00a0kids launched,\u00a0running a thriving business, that life\u00a0put\u00a0cancer\u00a0in her path,\u00a0an obstacle\u00a0she felt ill equipped to deal with.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cIt\u2019s\u00a0crazy how hard it hit me. I have coped with so many challenges in my life, and\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0always been\u00a0a\u00a0person who could get through anything.\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0also\u00a0been there for everyone else; my kids, my parents, my husband, grandkids,\u00a0but when it came to me, I had no idea how to be there for me,\u201d she said<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">It was about six weeks after surgery, and\u00a0the healing\u00a0was taking\u00a0much\u00a0longer than\u00a0Joline\u00a0was led to believe it would\u00a0take. \u201cI had all this\u00a0idle\u00a0time\u00a0and\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0not used to that\u00a0at all. I like to be busy.\u00a0Spending day after day alone with my thoughts, I started\u00a0to spiral.\u00a0I hit rock bottom,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Then she remembered learning about Wellspring at the Grande Prairie Cancer Centre. She made a call and along with a referral for counselling, she was invited to join Wellspring Alberta\u2019s online support programs and guided to the in-person <a href=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/alberta\/program\/cancer-connect\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cancer Connect program<\/a> in her area.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cI love\u00a0the Cancer Connect program.\u00a0No one understands cancer like other people going through it.\u00a0At this group you\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0feel abnormal. You\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0feel crazy for having these\u00a0fears and anxieties.\u00a0People listen and make suggestions\u00a0\u2013\u00a0ways to help you cope.\u00a0Your feelings are\u00a0validated. And\u00a0it\u00a0means so much\u00a0to not\u00a0feel so alone,\u201d she said.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Joline joined Wellspring online\u00a0as well, signing\u00a0up for\u00a0a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/alberta\/program\/meditation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meditation\u00a0class<\/a>\u00a0and the <a href=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/alberta\/program\/healing-journey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Healing Journey\u00a0program<\/a>.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cI did the first level of Healing\u00a0Journey\u00a0and it was\u00a0very\u00a0informative\u00a0and helpful. It\u00a0gives the science behind cancer and offers some ways to calm yourself.\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0been in a fight or flight state for quite some\u00a0time\u00a0and this helped\u00a0settle\u00a0me.\u00a0I always felt better after the sessions.\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0really looking forward to taking the next level\u00a0of Healing Journey,\u201d she said.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">More recently when Wellspring launched\u00a0yoga,\u00a0its second in-person program\u00a0in Grande Prairie, Joline was delighted to add these sessions to her weekly routine.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cI\u2019ve\u00a0just been to one yoga class\u00a0so far,\u00a0but I can already tell it is going to be\u00a0really beneficial\u00a0for my nervous system. I am really looking forward to going every week for the next eight weeks. It will help me be calm and present. I need that in my life,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Less than a year after her diagnosis,\u00a0Joline has been\u00a0given a prognosis referred to as NED, meaning there is currently\u00a0\u2018no evidence of disease\u2019\u00a0in her body. While she feels elated about this\u00a0news, there are still days where underlying fears creep into her psyche, and\u00a0though\u00a0her husband and family are tremendously supportive, leaning into Wellspring\u00a0helps her return to her centre of gravity.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cThe sense of community at Wellspring has changed my life. I love knowing that once a month, and now once a week too,\u00a0I can look forward to\u00a0dedicating time just for me and the journey\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0been on. Being with people who\u00a0understand\u00a0and care is\u00a0really important. Sometimes you just need someone to listen, and even though they\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0fix you, you feel better sharing what\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0feeling. In a Wellspring group you always feel seen and heard.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On a chilly overcast April morning in
