In this week’s column by UTMB’s Dr. Victor Sierpina and Michelle Sierpina: As a family physician, I frequently meet and work with individuals and families in which a major issue is some past choice that led to a hurt, a mistake, a poor investment or an abusive relationship. That path weighs heavily on their hearts and health. The death of a child, a divorce, a job loss or other deeply felt disappointment may sometimes become an overwhelming burden. If we let it, such an event can overshadow what is otherwise a reasonably good, healthy and prosperous life.
