REFLECTION
A Poem by Debra Harrison
To Bear Witness by Debra Harrison
Walk in prepared.
You will be the anchor
In the coming storm.
Take a deep breath
then say it.
"There is bad news..."
Then be present.
Hold them
with your eyes
with your heart
with your arms
if they'll let you.
Watch for the signs.
The shock,
the denial,
the tears,
the recognition.
Be sure they really heard.
Information and any
offering of hope comes later.
Be ready to clarify and repeat.
Just sit and be with them.
Nod,
and cry,
if they'll let you.

We Need Your Help!
Sales for Survivors!
The time has come! Sales For Survivors is BGHP's annual "shop and dine for a
cause" campaign held during the month of October. BGHP promotes these
partnerships through social media, our website, and direct publicity to over
4,000 BGHP supporters via our mailed and electronic newsletters. We also
provide posters, brochures and other promotional materials for your
business to display!
Sales For Survivors is a win/win/win for local businesses that participate, the
Breast & GYN Health Project and most importantly for the friends and family
in Humboldt County who are able to access cancer support services!
Participating in Sales For Survivors is a great opportunity to increase sales at
your business, distinguish your local business as a supporter of BGHP, and
provide essential financial support for the resources that our community
members need.
If you are interested in being a participating business for
October 2021, please call us at 707-825-8345 or email
volunteer@hcbhp.org - thank you!
NANCY NOLL LIBRARY
Information is the antidote for fear
The Nancy Noll Library was built from a generous 50th Birthday
fundraiser organized by Nancy Noll in May 1998, in hopes to educate and
empower those along their cancer journey.
If you've read a book from our Lending Library and would like to share your
thoughts with others, email volunteer@hcbhp.org to submit a book review.
