, To all crisis workers who give selflessly to alleviate the pain of
others. This work is also dedicated to my family, who has sacrificed
and continues to be my source of support: my husband, Jim; my
daughters, Gabrielle and Alexandra; and my parents, Barbara
Jackson and Francisco Japzon, M.D. I am ever-mindful that all my
fortunes and blessings are gifts from God.
