生命中發生每一件事情都有意義，人往往經歷過艱難和黑暗，才有機會成長、蛻變。曾因 抑鬱症而經歷人生低潮的Sammi，現在不再事事執著，而是享受生命每一刻。走過高山低 谷，Sammi鳳凰重生的故事鼓勵和啟發了無數患病、歷經挫折的人，就如她所說，她成為 自己和別人的祝福。 Every event in life has its own significance, and oftentimes we need to go through hardships and challenges in order to grow and become stronger. Although depression had put Sammi through her lowest point in life, she has since overcome that phase and now enjoys every single moment of life, instead of being persistent in every single thing. Having gone through the high and low points of her life, Sammi’s “rebirth” story has encouraged and inspired countless patients and those who suffered setbacks in their lives. As she always says, she is just trying to be a blessing to others, including herself.
