Isolation

My name is Angela, I worked in the family business. I always knew, you know, working on paperwork. I'm like, I can't see this, but I'm not gonna say anything, you know, I'll suffer through.

Once I got the diagnosis, I went into a huge depression. It lasted a very long time. “Oh my gosh, my life is over. The doctor said there's nothing that can be done. What am I gonna do with my life now? I can't drive anymore. You know, I can't even leave the house.” And even a, a thought or two about suicide. When you're in that state of mind, everything's despair. Everything's isolated. No one understood me. I had it in my head that there was no way I could do anything.

One day, I just sat up and I, I can't explain it, and all of a sudden, I heard a voice say, “It's not your time. You, you have things to do.”
