    LIFE

    Where do you turn when you need an answer and there isn't one? Most people would say the internet. But I did that and the answers weren't there. So I started to write about our life experiences with Type 1 diabetes, Addison's disease and marriage with diabetes in the hopes of finding someone out there who was also going through the same thing. And then life took twists and turns and I started to write about divorce and diabetes, then the passing of my ex husband at a young age, and then remarriage and blending a family. And I still continue to hope that if there is someone out there who needs answers, hopefully you will find the answers that you are searching for here. I've also compiled lot's of articles written from my work as a full time counselor and as a parent, wife and mom.
