Feeling Overwhelmed With What Your Facing?
A cancer diagnosis is not something anyone plans for and it invades out of nowhere. It’s never something we’re prepared for because we don’t expect it. Yet it happens–and it often turns our world upside down, sometimes shatters it.
And cancer does not just invade the cells in our body; it infects nearly all areas of our lives: physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. It creates a host of new stressors, struggles, and potential losses.
PHYSICAL. Cancer can affect how you feel physically, especially when undergoing treatments like chemotherapy. Cancer can effect how you look, like loss of hair, weight, and strength.
EMOTIONAL. Cancer can introduce or increase feelings of fear, anger, confusion, loneliness, anxiety, depression, and despair.
PSYCHOLOGICAL. Cancer can lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms and/or agitate personal issues and struggles you had prior to cancer.
SPIRITUAL. Cancer can raise new and fearful questions, like Where is God in all this? Why does God allow things like cancer? Does God really care about me? And, Does God even exist?
It can all easily become overwhelming, especially if you don’t have a strong and loving support team in your corner.

With one-on-one guidance and support,

Find Comfort and Hope Through the Storm. You Are Not Alone!
Beauty for Ashes is a three-month cancer-related coaching and counseling program with Rebekah and Joel Hughes, founders of Rebekah's Hope. We will meet twice a month via Zoom or Google Meets (6x sessions total). Each meeting is 45-60 minutes long. We will follow a game plan dealing with Grief, Acceptance, Emotions, Beliefs, and Purpose. But your personal needs are the top priority so this outline is highly flexible.
The Goal: The goal of BFA is not just to help you get through cancer in one piece as you were before cancer, but rather our shared goal is to use this as an opportunity to grow and transform into a hope-filled, badass fighter. Think of BFA as your therapist's office and as a life Bootcamp.
Key Elements:
- Coaching. This is the Bootcamp part. While we want to offer globs of understanding and comfort, we don't want to coddle you--we want to motivate you to run forward with courage.
- Counseling. This is the therapist's office part. You will find comfort and encouragement in working with people who know what you're going through and feeling. Our empathy muscles are ripped!
- Strategy. Our meetings game plan (below) works step-by-step through a concentrated plan, but this is flexible depending on your needs. BFA is not just us talking at you. Our heart's motivation is to listen to what's in your heart and give you a safe place to share and vent.
- Assignments. Based on you and your needs, we will give you some things to read, watch, and/or think about.
