“Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it’s less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you’ve lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that’s good.” -Elizabeth Edwards- Chapter 84; Are you actually okay? She asked her softly, “Are you actually okay?” “I told you, yes…” said Alexis and turned to face her. And then she noticed the change in her demeanor, she looked at her with her eyes focused on her body. “What do you know?” she asked with her eyebrows furrowed. “I just…. It’s just….” She was unable to answer her. Alexis’s facial expressions changed as she deduced what she knew. “You know,” she said softly. She took her hand to hers and gently caressed it as she said, “I will be here for you”
