“Health is not merely the absence of illness. A truly healthy life is one of creativity—where we continue to challenge ourselves, create, and move forward, expanding our horizons for as long as we live.”

I hold deep respect for the medical and psychological communities whose work supports survivors and their families. This story seeks to honor the resilience of those who have faced adversity and the professionals who walk alongside them, but it should not be taken as a substitute for clinical expertise or therapy.
