The story, "What's Next?" shares the experience of a woman's journey with chronic illness and her persistence in overcoming the mental and physical challenges that come with illness. This story touched me because I dealt with medical issues last year and my faith was tested. I called myself in with prayer and believed the support of my family would bring me through that challenging time. This story helped me see and recognize that we must be empathic about others just as others did during a vulnerable phase in my life.
