October: Comfort for Breast Cancer

Dear Friends,
We all know someone who has suffered with cancer. This disease has touched all of our lives in one way or another. It can be difficult to know how to help, express comfort, and bring hope.
That is why we are so proud of  Comfort Silkie's Hope line because it brings the powerful gift of comfort.

Comfort gifts bring a message of caring and empowers healing. 
Comfort has the power to restore the body, quiet the mind, and renew the soul

Comfort: to give strength, to quiet one’s fears, to give hope, to refresh, to calm

Cancer is not just a medical issue it is also a psychological and emotional journey

• 1 in 7 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime
• Women perceive breast cancer as their greatest health threat

Comfort therapy products, skills, and techniques are essential for wellbeing.

Comfort is a life skill that reduces stress and enhances healing. Studies note that interactions among behavior, the brain, and the body’s immune system show that psychological comforts can enhance (or stressors can interfere) with working of the body’s organ systems, in particular the neuro-endocrine and immune systems.
• Cancer treatment is physically demanding. Comfort techniques can help reduce some of the side effects; nausea, muscle tension, loss of sleep.
