Dr. Dae - Thanks for your insightful comments. Finding support during difficult times is critical, and for many with serious health conditions that will mean seeking that support online from strangers who share concerns rather than people already in your life. It can be heartbreaking to ask people you work with or have known a long time to be part of your support activities only to find they have absolutely no interest in your needs.Those seeking support should be aware of this obstacle and advised that being open to meeting new people can open up a whole new world of good people and relationships that truly will provide needed support. Community and spirit indeed change lives, and thanks to the Internet we now have many new ways to build that community and obtain that spirit.
Take care,
Pat
