I need something to offset the deterioration I’m seeing. I’m deeply disturbed. Also, I’m 54, healthy and energetic. I still have life in me and this situation has expanded to be the majority of my world.

I think it’s a positive decision that will benefit all of us.

Jennifer, absolutely! Do please be kind to yourself. There's no need to make YOU unwell, too.
