An update from Justyna.
March 24, 2026
As March 28, the one-year anniversary of my diagnosis, approaches, I can feel something shifting.
My body is getting stronger, steadier, more capable, but my emotions… they’re just now catching up.
And they’re arriving all at once.
The enormity of what I went through, the space I had to hold for myself, the reality of doing so much of it alone, it’s all hitting me in waves.
I am so incredibly tired.
And deeply, quietly sad.
Not in a hopeless way - but in a grieving way.
Grieving the version of me that existed before all of this.
Letting her go feels, in many ways, like a death.
And yet… I am so proud of her.
For how she showed up.
For what she carried.
For what she survived.
She did what she needed to do, often by herself, so that I could be here now.
And now I stand in this new space.
Still tender.
Still processing.
But here.
Alive.
Becoming.
With something important left to say, to build, to finish.
Not fully there yet, but for now, that’s enough.
Justyna
