“I had no idea what the future held – whether I would be alive for one more day, or for even another hour. At that moment, the clock stopped…That was the day I began journaling. My boat had started to rock, and I could not see a clear course forward through the oncoming storm.”

A life-threatening illness crushes the world around you, and around those you love. How do we all cope with the diagnosis physically, emotionally, and spiritually?  How do we move on? What are the most helpful ways to support others in crisis? In the end, what does it all mean?
