A Legacy of Healing: Inspired by My Mother's Journey
My mom was a beacon of joy, humor, and kindness, touching countless lives with her amazing spirit. In December 2023, she ascended from this earth due to complications related to pancreatic cancer. While many might say cancer claimed her life, her cancer was actually well-managed, with her numbers in the normal range. However, other organs began to fail, possibly due to chemotherapy, mismanaged medications, or a frightening drop in her blood sugar one night. The exact cause remains unknown.
Reflecting on her journey, I realize her inflammatory and autoimmune challenges began early in her adult life. If I can help prevent future suffering for myself or others by making proactive changes today, it would be a profound honor to her legacy.
The Meaning Behind 'Sana Sana'
The name Sana Sana is inspired by a comforting Spanish rhyme my mom often recited when I was hurt or unwell:
'Sana, sana, colita de rana.
Si no sanas hoy, sanaras mañana.'
This translates to: 'Heal, heal, little frog's tail. If you don't heal today, you'll heal tomorrow.'
In essence, it means: 'Have faith! You CAN and you WILL feel better.'
Healing is a journey. Whether physical or emotional, it requires time and dedication. Each day you devote to healing brings you closer to feeling better, and then even better. So, keep the faith, and keep moving forward!
