This is such a beautiful post and attributable to more than illness. I think the comment about how we feel like we must be invincible so we don’t ask for help is so true. This has inspired me to think about how I might ask for the support I need during a transition I am going through. I so think we were made for this kind of community and feel sad by how siloed we have gotten from each other. Thank you Mia and Courtney.

Thank you for sharing such a helpful experience. It is one of your many posts that I have put into my 'save this' folder. It also makes me realize, I need to learn this as well. Reaching out to others is not my strength and leaning on my private weaknesses is not helpful. This is a wonderful post. May Mia's health remain and flower.
