Season six of the hit Netflix show highlighted women’s need for female camaraderie. But they forgot many of us.
I’m a huge fan of the Netflix show “Virgin River.” I’ve watched every episode, and I’vethat every new mother – especially one like me who has a chronic illness – needs a place like the fictional town of Virgin River. Its residents find themselves among extended family ready to provide support physically and emotionally and to fight their battles alongside them.
As I started streaming season six right before the holidays, I only longed more deeply for the small-town vibes of this magical community. There was one scene I was drawn to most — but I found myself conflicted, loving the message and despising it all at once. On the one hand, their unwavering compassion was everything I’ve always needed as a woman with chronic illness. I lost out on what should have been the best years of my life — my 20s — searching for a diagnosis. I spent my 30s continuing that search and then adjusting to immunosuppressive treatment and accepting a lifelong, progressive disease. The few friends who stood by me made all the difference, but a circle of female camaraderie was everything I needed in my darkest moments.
