This one really hit home for me, Courtney. Chapters 28 and 44 of The Mindful Grandparent: The Art of Loving Our Children's Children tell (some of) the story of the horrendous struggle our whole family faced when our daughter, a mother of a toddler, developed multiple symptoms of increasing severity that doctors could not diagnose. I believed my daughter, and we tried scores of remedies. I lost sleep and became depressed myself when nothing seemed to work. The documentary Unrest you mentioned is excellent, and this experience introduced our whole family to the world of the chronically unwell. Fortunately, our daughter is now healthy and vibrant and so am I, but we are now aware. I want to read these two books, and, like you, I think the chronically unwell people may be linked to a chronically unwell planet.

I'm so sorry you all went through that, Shirley, and I'm so glad your daughter had you through it all.
