Manage episode 428007699 series 3309061
Ever wonder how a career in corrections can prepare someone for the battle of a lifetime? Meet Jim Tabler, who shares his incredible story from working in the psych ward and teaching trades to inmates, to facing a colon cancer diagnosis. Jim’s experience is a testament to the power of resilience.
Jim and I discuss the practicalities of dietary changes and the emotional highs and lows of medical check-ups. We talk about the role of a supportive family system, specifically the encouragement from a spouse. Prayer and community support emerge as pivotal during the healing phase, and we highlight the invaluable resources provided by HealingStrong to help guide those on similar journeys.
Jim shares how cancer has a way of reshaping life’s priorities and perspectives. Jim opens up about the spiritual growth spurred by his diagnosis and the significance of addressing diet, stress, and emotional well-being. We discuss the joy of grandparenthood, the impact of small acts of kindness, and the transformative power of community support groups. Plus, learn about how you can support HealingStrong’s mission to empower healing communities. Join us and find the inspiration to face your own challenges with renewed hope and strength.
