I spend a lot of time in my life practicing gratitude, which, as an experimental psychologist, I know has been proven to increase one's overall level of happiness! On the other hand, I know sometimes I just need to be allowed to be angry over what I've lost to the damn disease. It IS a part of grieving to be angry and I think sometimes women have a harder time feeling it's OK to feel that way.
