Quotes to ponder:

"There’s nothing quite as painful as losing what you thought was a good solid relationship to something as unpredictable as illness."

"It just often takes a catastrophe to separate the good from the bad, the real from the fake, the strong from the weak."

"Our brains especially crave connection and trust, and thrive when we know we are part of a group - our 'tribe.'"
