When we're apart from the people we care about, there's a desire to find ways to feel connected. The Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 kept families and friends separated, fearful and uncertain about what lay ahead. These stories, developed from video interviews, were just one of many ways to remain united and not feel so alone, in the face of this incredible challenge. We all have stories to tell. Some tales are told to share the experience and the knowledge that comes from it. Other stories are intended to share pain and struggle, with the hope of finding strength to go forward and a little understanding. You should be engaged with each story, they're captivating and sure to pull at your heart strings. Follow along on this journey of trials and triumphs. By bravely sharing their experiences, these people allow us all a glimpse into their lives. We learn about the hurdles they've faced and how they've conquered them. We can see ourselves in their place, facing our own adversity. We're not alone. There's always hope. Life may not be about happy endings, but situations can improve and move in entirely new directions. Change can be a good thing. We all fall. Sometimes it's hard to get up and continue on. In our social circles, surrounded by people we care about and trust, we can unburden ourselves and find support. The process of sharing allows us to spread the support to others. Communication matters. Share your stories. Reach out, connect, draw on your inner resources and heal.
