Earlier today I wrote a post that talked a bit about some of
the positives that have arisen from these past months and my mother’s recent
passing.
One of the people who reached out to me is a dear friend,
Beth, who lived in Riverdale until about ten years ago before moving to Israel
with her husband and three children. Life in Israel is never easy, but they had
a particularly rough period a few years after settling in Israel when their teenaged
daughter, Gabi, developed depression and anorexia, a severe eating disorder. After
five difficult years of hard work, she is establishing a life and career for
herself, and has now chosen to share her experience in the hopes that she can
encourage others in their struggles with this difficult disease.
You can hear and read more about Gabi’s experience by
clicking on each of the links here.
First, a video posted
on the YouTube channel.
Second, a blog posting on a website called “Times of Israel”
Third, a piece broadcast on a local English language television news program in Israel
Thank you, Beth, for sharing this with me and allowing me to pass it along to my friends.
