One of the episodes of the Walking Dead was titled “JSS.” In this brutal episode, one learned by the end of the show that one of the characters, then others after her, had learned that all they could expect to do for the moment was JSS, or just survive somehow.
I met a patient recently who embodied that mantra.
Small, petite, with stringy hair and sun-browned skin, she did not look the part of a survivor. She looked frail, unsure of herself, weak and defeated. She had been living in the woods behind a local store, and she did not even have a tent or other covering to sleep under. She had made do with tree branches for coverings and leaves and pine straw for bedding.
