Talents can include the ability to help and to comfort, as well as to express yourself to others and the world. Your unique talent, whether it is one of comfort — adding light and humor to life, organizing, taking charge, or quietly listening, is the best thing to share with a loved one going through breast cancer treatment.

You may be a talented cook, a baker, a gardener, or a painter, to mention just a few areas that can bring great joy to a friend or loved one who is going through treatment. You may be the person who helps your loved one deal with the multitude of medical bills, helping to organize this daunting task when there are so many other daily life changes confronting her. Be creative and openly communicate with your loved one and share your special talents and make new memories to cherish in this most difficult time in both your lives.
