Uncheck Health and Reference Center (surviving illnesses)
Uncheck Informe (articles in Spanish)
Uncheck Business and Company ASAP (companies surviving)

Use Keywords survival personal narratives
Limit results to "Full Text"
Look at clues in the title of the article, the number of pages, document type and the name of the periodical
Use "Citation Tools" for your bibliography
