Bejuce, thanks for the article. I think it points to the major value of this very organization. Starting with Christine, who found a way to help others after she survived, each person who joins in is finding meaning and connection. As we share our stories and ask for advice, we enlighten (enliven!) our own lives, making them more meaningful. Even those of us who are too exhausted to write cheery encouragement receive sustenance from reading others encouraging and supporting our members.

Patrice, you are adding value to all of us by sharing this issue. The dreary parts of our lives are more bearable with all this compassion and friendship. I am very grateful to Christine and to everyone on this board, that HERsupport is here!

Carol
