Peter,
Thanks for passing this along. My heart goes out to these people. They both
have a tough road ahead. I think I can help with the mental focus it takes
for the recovery they are going to have to work through. Please let them
know I am available when they are well enough to want to reach out.
This Thursday will be Week 17 for me... (yep still counting) that gets me
just to the 1/3 mark of a 52 week recovery.
One day at a time,
Vicki
