Understood, as if the world suddenly fades away and it’s just the …
Invisible no more: the healing power of being present
April 29, 2025
He ran away at thirteen. Jobs came and went. Friends disappeared. Shelters became home. The worst part wasn’t the cold or the hunger – it was being invisible. The seizure hit like lightning – violent, sudden, unforgiving. One minute, Jake was trembling on the hospital bed, sweating and muttering through the fog of alcohol withdrawal.
