She had survived, and for the first time, she allowed herself to breathe, to imagine a life not dominated by hospitals, medications, or the constant anxiety that accompanies a life lived under the shadow of illness. She had fought death and won—multiple times. But her life, which had been a testament to resilience, was cut tragically short by an act of violence so senseless it defies comprehension.
