First things first: You find your medical team and plan your treatment.
After that, you lean.
On each other. On nurses and doctors. On Dr. Google. On science. On faith. On counseling.
On your friends.
Our friends wrapped us in their arms and didn’t let go, even when most of Mike’s treatment took place during Covid. Friends sent painted rocks, books, flowers and plants, lobster bisque, and fancy cheese.
They brought meals, pillows, and prayers.
Our friends made it possible for us to bear the unbearable.
They still do that for me.
