From people who came through it
βTo anyone just starting this: I won't say it's easy. It's not. Losing part of yourself is a grief. But you find new ways. My kids don't care about my eye. They care about me. The prosthetic still rubs. I still cry sometimes. But I swim, I make playlists, I pray. You'll find your new normal, even if it takes a while. God willing.β
Lorry driver W Β· been through adjusting to a disabilityβEighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. Losing sight in one eye, every single day. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. From someone who gets it.β
Tired dad W 55 Β· been through adjusting to a disabilityβI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't, but you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong so I had to stop googling so it made everything worse.β
UΔur from Istanbul Β· been through adjusting to a disabilityβFor whoever is where I was: I've been there. For me it was two years ago. An amputation below the knee, every single day. I laugh properly again. It doesn't stay this heavy.β
