Since last year, I have never weighted as much as I do now. Clothes that I wore for decades, don't fit anymore. But four years ago, I was terrified to look at the scale as my weight kept rapidly falling. I am so very grateful for my chubby alive body.

I've been listening to this Novena for over. nine days and the number on my scale hasn't changed much. But I have noticed some changes. I've stopped overeating. I've been exercising with re-discovered joy and stamina. I don't eat more than one big chocolate bar a day. I do feel better in this new, mature body.

Maybe I'm not supposed to be size 4. Maybe my ideal weight is different now. I definitely don't want to be the size 0 again. Never again!

As I listen to this Novena each day, I center my awareness on my heart—the seat of my soul, and, as I currently believe, the part of my body that connects me to the other side. Sometimes I move through my daily tasks or exercise while the Novena plays, but I always try to focus on my heart.

Speaking the Novena aloud alongside the recording adds power to this prayer.

I am not a doctor or medical professional. The content shared on this podcast is based entirely on my personal experience as a patient who lived with terminal Stage 4 gastric cancer. Nothing discussed on the Paranormal Happy podcast should be interpreted as medical advice.

I am simply sharing my journey—the choices I made for myself and the information I gathered, as I understood it at the time.

Please keep in mind that what worked for me may not work for everyone. Each person’s experience with gastric cancer is unique.

My hope is that my story may resonate with others or offer a sense of connection—but it is not a substitute for professional medical guidance. Any decisions or actions you take based on what you hear here are entirely your own responsibility.
