Kathleen and her older sister Bridget, who also has OCD, share a bedroom. Although they have different compulsions, they talk with each other about how to work through their OCD problems. The life lesson Kathleen and Bridget have learned is that everyone has something they deal with each day and that "Life will be Ok!". These sisters realize the importance of making the best of what life brings and wish to share those lessons with you.

Kate Dunn, Kathleen’s mother, shares with parents that OCD or any mental health challenge can be frustrating, but maintaining a sense of calm during the challenges of daily life helps keep things in perspective.
