It is inspiring to see how people deal with some of life's biggest challenges and go on to become beacons of light to others facing the same problems.
Both these women make it clear that they are never free of their challenges but they at least have found ways to deal with them and carve out existences for themselves despite them.
I found myself feeling thankful that I don't face these kinds of difficulties.
