From our family
Heather attended a virtual support group through her illness. At first she sat quietly, rarely speaking. Over the weeks she began to open up, and the meetings became a gathering of friends — our family would join after supper to listen and encourage her. When she could no longer speak for herself, we joined on her behalf, and the group kept reaching out. It is one reason this directory exists.
