When Life Defies Our Carefully Laid Plans
At 4 AM in a hospital room, fluorescent lights flickering overhead, a young doctor delivered the news that would shatter everything: Stage IV colon cancer with a 14% survival rate. "You'd better be holding my hand if you're going to say stuff like that," Kate told him as he reluctantly explained that "survival" meant just two years. In those early morning hours, she began calculating what remained: 730 days, two Christmases, two summers, 104 Thursdays. Not enough time for anything that matters. Before this diagnosis, Kate had spent a decade studying the prosperity gospel-the belief that faith, positive thinking, and righteous living guarantee health and wealth. Now, facing her own mortality, these promises rang hollow. The "best life now" philosophy permeating American culture through wellness industries and self-help suddenly seemed like cruel fiction. There is, quite simply, no cure for being human.
