Frances, that is adversity for sure (more than I’ve ever dealt with). Our definitions are definitely different based on personal experience, but it’s enlightening to hear from others like you. It’s humbling, in fact. To me, adversity is any hardship to overcome, big or small. Whatever it is, my goal at least is to persevere, adapt, and overcome the situation. Thank you for reading, but more so for sharing your story. Wish you the best.
