I read your story pretty spine-chilled. I know you didn't want to arouse pity, but let me say that it seemed pretty terrible to me.

it's fantastic how my personal belief in the great saving power of music is confirmed.

I am also very happy to see how much light and complexity there is in you. Thank you for sharing these thoughts with us.

I hope this comment is not clumsy, because I can never be satisfied with how I can express myself in Italian, let alone in English!
