Thank you for this, Susan. I bet so many people can relate to what you've been through. And yes, what of the layers that so many people deal with is having someone refuse to acknowledge their chronic illness OR become so identified with it that little else can see the light. How do we get in the in between? How do we meet people where they are? And take care of our own vitality and chance of living a thriving life? Big, messy questions. Thanks for being honest enough here to spark them.

I can feel my own beginning to stream back in in the face of his. I’d forgotten how magical hope and positivity and optimism and a belief in the goodness of the world can feel!
