losses

[Guest guest]

I too have been dealing with the acceptance of loss again. I went throughout

this when I first became ill and now that the Dx is about ten years old

(although I fought with illnesses related to stills since my childhood) I am

finding myself struggling More than normal

for those that know me... I am an optimistic person, but lately.... The constant

pain drags me down and by night time I usually am battling the cup is empty and

have a harder time with acceptance. what I can share with everyone new to this

is that acceptance always comes and it comes faster if you fight it less. I

have my faith and family to help me . Don't be ashamed to lean on others you

are close to.. they want to help in .most cases but are not sure how. Let them

know what yoU need ...Talk to them about your fears etc. We don't have to be

totally alone even though it may feel that way. Hang in there everyone . Hugs.

Marty, what you wrote brought tears to my eyes. This is one of my biggest

losses too. I just can't negotiate the tree roots on the trails or the uphills

and downhills or the unsteadiness of a tippy rock. Hey, at least we can sit in

an innertube and float down a stream--just clench up your butt cheeks in the

shallows.

>>for me that my hardest part any more the I want to but can not any more even

down to simple things like a walk along a stream
