Last weekend, I attended a conference where one of the topics was 'Community as a healing force.' Several women with various health and personal issues discussed how readers can be a tremendous source of strength -- as you mentioned in your post.
In turn, members of the community or readers said that the women bloggers were a tremendous source of inspiration.
Despite huge obstacles, the bloggers shared the humor in many situations, very human frustration and many times, grace and appreciation.
A few readers even commented that if they knew the blogger personally, the blogs helped to enrich their face-to-face time because they weren't recalling the various tests, procedures or outcomes of doctors or hospital visits. It was all already 'out there' and they could focus on other aspects of their relationships.
