Making better use of my time

Today I decided that perhaps a blog would help me better cope with my life. I am a woman who has a life-threatening and life-changing disease -- pulmonary hypertension. I was once a journalist. I miss the writing, so here goes.

I have many friends I have never met except through the Internet. Many of them have the same disease I have. Some of us live with this disease better than others, but we all understand how important friends are.

Losing these friends is the worst part of the disease.

Everyone dies; it is part of life. But some deaths are harder to bear than others. After awhile the deaths take a toll on the living.
