Learning that you have a serious illness can be devastating. It can disrupt all aspects of your life. You may feel overwhelmed by waves of difficult emotions or frozen by the belief that you may not be able to cope. Whatever your diagnosis or emotional response, it’s important to know that you’re not powerless. Dr. Mark Salemi was given the gift of life when he received a kidney transplant. He talks about his healing journey and the steps we can take to better cope with whatever challenges life throws at us.
