Healing

With the simple hope of helping others, CaringBridge users across the country have been sharing their stories to show that healing is possible, and valuable, even when cure is not an outcome. A resulting framework for healing, captured in words, videos and a short film, and podcasts, has become the How We Heal series, produced in collaboration since 2017 with National Geographic photographer David McLain.
