Taraz, thank you for sharing this! I'm sorry you've had to go through this. It sounds like a hard time. I appreciate that you are taking the time to share your experience though, as i know some don't know how to put this kind of thing into words, nor can some do so after a stroke. So it helps those that can't to feel a little more human when they aren't alone, even if it is shared pain.
I want to add that I find your writing honest and easy to connect to, even though I haven't experienced what you have.
