I remember the days when I was at the hospital, looking after my mother-in-law, I practiced The Chair of Joy even if it was so hard for me to do. This was back in December 2022. It was so hard for me to build a relationship with my fiance and at the same time being in a situation where I had no control over my mother-in-law’s health. She was fighting cancer. One day, the doctor told me and my fiance(at the time) she had 3 months or less to live. I was frozen… I had nothing to do but hold my fiance’s hand and took him to the outside of the hospital. He was super sad and frustrated by the fact that he had no control over what was happening for his mom. We just got engaged a couple of months ago and were about to start planning our wedding. And he just got a great job in Hungary a couple weeks ago. If I didn’t know about The Chair of Joy, I probably would have been super angry at everything in my life. To be honest, I felt the anger a couple of times, but because I connected with Sheryl everyday and knew that it would pass. I kept focusing on what needs to be done at the moment and what I could bring to the table. I told my fiance to go back to his job and I would take care of his mom with his sister. After a couple of days of him considering it, he agreed to go back to work. I sent him back to Hungary because I didn’t want him to lose his job and his mental health at the same time. I put myself to handle the hard part and do my best to take care of her and help my sister-in-law. So my days were spent at the hospital from morning until midnight, going home and doing the laundry, ironing whatever that needs to be done and practicing the chair of joy especially in the mornings. I wake up and pray until I head back to the hospital. I was against my family to do this for my fiance now my husband. I lived in a city that is 4 hours away from the city my mother-in-law lived in. In our culture, it is not very common that you are this close to your in-laws. So I did what was right for me at the moment and I am glad I did. My mother-in-law stayed at the hospital for a month and then 10 days at home. Jan, 19 we lost her. You probably are thinking, “Why is she telling this sad story and where is the joy in here?” Joy is in any moment and anywhere. Of course it wasn’t joyful to send her peace but it probably was joy for her to become an angel. It was a joy for her to leave the pain in this world. I hope she has been resting in peace.
