We are. And in surviving, we are stronger and more capable than we often realize.

Thank you for this, Dascha. Well said! You are so correct that we are more than our illness(es). I live with several illnesses and a paradigm shift from "I am" to "I have" or "I live with" makes a huge difference. Thank you.
