Personal Stories
A day at a time - Steph and Nic Collins This is a transcript of a podcast published in a Wilderness Conversation Stephen Dodson had with Steph and Nic Collins. It is a very moving, confronting but beautiful story of the way Steph and Nic coped with Steph's devastating illness. We are now sorry to advise that Steph passed away on Wednesday 29 May, 2024. We leave the transcript on the site because Steph, and Nic, wanted to go public with their experiences. They hope that others will be helped and understand more of the illness she had and the way it can affect people's lives. We are indebted to Steph and Nic for this love for their fellows, and pray that Nic's and Steph's family and friends, will be comforted by our loving Heavenly Father.
