Discovering Inner Strength
As the hours grew into days, and the weeks turned into months, Caitlin’s grief gradually morphed into resiliency. She dove headfirst into pursuits that not only made her happy but also gave her a sense of control over her life.

Considering Her Options
The more time Caitlin spent by herself, the more she began to think about the events that had taken place and how she felt about them.
