T1 did not disclose her personal life to me at all, but reassured me on many occasion that I was not alone, I was strong and so brave, and she understood. That was enough for me to keep moving forward. One time, when I was sharing a particular painful story, I burst out into tears that came from a very deep place. She burst out into tears too and cried with me. She told me with total conviction that I could get through it. I absolutely believed her. I love her with my whole heart for that. She empowered me.

(I get teary now just remembering that moment. She was the best)
