And I had no idea how to face that truth. As my physical health declined and I exhausted every avenue for a diagnosis or root cause, my family and I packed up and moved far from my home province to a little sanctuary on the ocean. It was there—on the land by the Bay of Fundy, with the highest tides in the world—that every stitch of every seam began to unravel.
