english: In those lonely first weeks and months of my recovery, these strangers and their words became lifelines, dispatches from people of so many different backgrounds, with so many different experiences, all showing me the same thing: you can be held hostage by the worst thing that's ever happened to you and allow it to hijack your remaining days, or you can find a way forward.
non_english: U tim usamljenim prvim nedeljama i mesecima mog oporavka, ti neznanci i njihove reči postale su spas, pošiljke od ljudi toliko različitog porekla, sa toliko različitih iskustava, a koje su mi pokazivale jedno te isto: možete biti taoci najgore stvari koja vam se ikada dogodila i dozvoliti joj da vam otme dane koji vam preostaju ili možete naći način da nastavite dalje.
