Living with Stage 4 cancer impacts how individuals conceptualize themselves and how they conduct their everyday lives. Within this synopsis, I describe my experiences living with progressing Stage 4 breast cancer. The construct of chronic sorrow is applied to my experiences. I suggest that grief and chronic sorrow are largely spiritual issues and give examples of my spiritual practices. Finally, recommendations are offered for healthcare professionals.
