Walks With Cancer Mirella Coacci Van Der Zyl

From readings, conversations with other people, and her doctor's comments, Mirella gathered information about this mysterious disease, cancer. Even though Mirella was a pastor, ministering to those in hospitals, she felt she should have been more positive. Faced with her own illness, though, she had no words to reassure the patients that God was in the midst of their suffering. Mirella had no arguments to help them cope, to give them the courage to fight one day at a time. How could she say these things if, at times, she struggled to believe them herself? Mirella realized we are all human when these sorts of things enter our lives, but as she journeyed through her bouts with cancer, she also realized how much her faith helped her along each step of the way.
