Sandra is speaking about what happened after her diagnosis of incurable cancer.

It has given me a huge sense of being loved and supported. I feel my God is love; God is in relationships. The response was there in the people — and it was without strings. It had nothing to do with what I did or what I contributed. It was just me. I have always known that I have been valued, wanted, esteemed — but I never knew before that I was loved!
