I started writing this when I was on dialysis. It’s intended to be both memoir and a practical tool to help folks who might be going through something similar or those caregivers and family supporting someone with a challenging diagnosis. I hope to include excerpts here as I write. NOTE: This is not intended to replace actual medical guidance. Please consult your doctors on your individual challenges and situations. Also names have been changed for most of my medical staff.

I read Zach’s story, powerful. You are both talented writers with a story to tell. I cried through “Be” and had to pull myself together to listen again. You are all beautiful- proof that love, hope and creativity can pull you through- to be all so vibrant together! With love, 💜
