Editor's Notes

  1. Assumptions – I figured you would probably really love this mug. You probably never get stressed by the small stuff anymore. Great Expectations – You should really write a book. You can’t waste this experience, you have to do something with your survivorship. Fortune Telling – You are destined to do something significant because of this. Judgement – Don’t you think its about time you stopped being upset and move on. Attention – Who doesn’t crave some attention? And, after feeling alone, the attention and care from others feels nice. Perfection – Pressure to do cancer “well”; ward off recurrence or progression Holding on – Can be hard to shift focus; fear of minimizing or diminishing significance Comparisons – measuring stick; competition; compensation
  2. Who is Viktor Frankl – his life work. Heintzelman & King argue that finding meaning is an adapative function for survival. Another prominient researcher in the work of meaning making has found that meaning making, when successful, leads to better adjustment to the stressful event.
