Thank you all for joining us for round 2 of our Summer Reading Series. We hope you are loving Jessica’s book! This week, she joins us again to talk about adjusting to the new normal. What we all know now is that the “new” normal is something that is ever changing. We are always adjusting. Adjusting to life after diagnosis, life after hospitalization. For some of us, life after they have left us.

“For all this time, they define our identity and what happens after?” -Jessica

Here’s what you don’t want to miss:

• Welcome back Jessica
• Always new normal
• Checking the box
• The importance of sharing
