Social media can be a catalyst for bad bahavior. It allows people to post insenstive messages and cyberbully-esque comments, that they otherwise wouldn't say aloud. Those comments can be hard to deal with for the people on the receiving end.
Nevertheless, Huitema is not going to let it get to her anymore, and she's hoping that her inspirational message will reach those it needs to and inspire them to face the battles they have on their plate and be able to get through feeling fine.
