I'm sure that editor meant well in saying the story isn't finished yet, but I couldn't agree more with you that the whole point is the uncertainty which you've captured here so beautifully and tenderly it brought me to tears (and more than a few laughs along the way too). I'm so glad you wrote this and decided to share it, even though I wish you hadn't had to write it at all. Sending so much love 🫶

This is such a powerful and moving description of what you went through. I can only hope others will take strength from your honesty and bravery (not to mention the gorgeous writing).
