  • I have had it for 11 years

    I have always loved Christina applegate while growing up but to know someone I wanted to be like has the same thing I do. Well it throws me for a loop. She’s right it freaking sucks! At 41 I shouldn’t be doing half the stuff I have to do until I’m 90! I feel like I lost alot and I lost a lot of friends.its not an easy disease to deal with. I envy all of you and I hope one day I can tell my story. 🧡

Q: What has all of this taught you about what really matters in life?
Being present with the people you love and showing up truthfully is what matters most, as it fosters connection and allows others to speak their truth as well.
Look for the Signs with Kate Doerge
Q: Can you describe Penny's last days and the decision to bring her home?

Look for the Signs with Kate Doerge
Q: How did the 5 Actions framework come together, and why is it meaningful for others facing grief?
The 5 Actions—connect, celebrate, open to signs, get moving, turn pain into purpose—were developed from Kate's experiences, emphasizing practical, non-linear steps to reclaim agency, foster community, and help others instead of remaining in isolation.
Look for the Signs with Kate Doerge
Q: What was Penny's condition, and how did your family respond to it on a day-to-day basis?
