The holiday season can be tough for those with breast cancer, whether they are newly diagnosed, in treatment, or recovering from surgery.

Here are some ways to support someone with breast cancer during the holidays:

💕 Spend Time Together: Just hang out, in person or on video calls

💕Offer Help: Assist with cooking, cleaning, or errands

💕Create a Cozy Space: Organize a movie night or a quiet area to relax

💕 Include Them: Invite them to holiday gatherings but understand if they need to skip

💕 Send Care Packages: Gifts with comfort items or self-care products can be nice

💕 Listen: Be there to hear how they feel

💕 Be Flexible: Understand if plans change or they need to rest

💕 Check In: A quick text or call can show you care

These small gestures can mean a lot. 💕 Let’s spread love and support this holiday season.

I have been doing a lot of reflecting on my dear friend Monica - especially after reuniting with her during the pandemic, more than 20 years after our paths first crossed.

Our lives unfolded in different countries and different ways, yet they became deeply connected through a shared journey we never imagined: breast cancer.

In 2020, Monica reached out personally to tell me she, too, was facing breast cancer. From that moment, our bond deepened in a way words can barely describe.

We first met back in 1995 at a leadership camp for Deaf youth. Even then, we connected through our passion for leadership, empowerment and advocating for our Deaf communities - despite living miles apart: Monica in California and me in Toronto.

Fast forward three decades and there we were again - Deaf women facilitators, leading America’s first retreat for Deaf women affected by breast cancer, made possible by Image Reborn Foundation. Life has a powerful way of bringing souls back together.

Tragically, Monica passed away on November 29, 2025. Our time together was far too short but that reunion was a beautiful celebration of resilience, growth and the unbreakable bond we shared. In our conversations, stories, and laughter, I felt the strength born from everything we had endured.

I am grateful for the moments we shared. We empowered one another, believing in ourselves and in giving back - not fully realizing the “ripple effect” we were creating at the time.

Monica was more than a cancer fighter. She was an advocate, a facilitator and most importantly, a true friend who lifted me up and inspired everyone she touched.

When I look at Monica’s legacy - not only her accomplishments but her beautiful family and the lives she shaped - one thing is clear: she built a beautiful life. She poured love into all of us, deeply and wholeheartedly.

Until we meet again. 🤟🏻💕 Har Monica

Happy Sunday!

It was such an honour that I worked with CAFSQ (Comité d`Aide aux Femmes Sourdes de Québec) by providing a virtual workshop on breast health and accessibility. It was such a success, with 12 Deaf women attending and engaging with thoughtful questions. The event was made even more impactful with the support of a Deaf fluent signer, who translated in both ASL and LSQ.

If anyone is interested in having me present in your area, I would be honoured to do so. This opportunity would expand horizons, as knowledge is a powerful tool that can save lives. The workshop is free.

Given the existing language barriers, it’s essential that we work together to raise awareness about the importance of health literacy and make it a priority in our lives.

As a matter of fact, there are over 300 signed languages worldwide. Many Deaf, DeafBlind, and hard of hearing individuals have faced many challenges within the healthcare system and it’s crucial that we address these issues.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you would like more information on how I can support you.

I want to express my gratitude to CAFSQ for providing me with the platform to share my journey and, most importantly, to empower the LSQ community with the resources and tools they need to advocate for their breast health.
