Before becoming disabled I loved being involved with all of the activities that I can no longer take part in. A friend of mine from England shared with me that I was not only going through the grieving of the death of my husband and the serious illness of my only child but that I was now physically unable to be independent as I once was and that is another major loss that I need to go through the grieving process over.
(Update 2007) - The physical, mental and emotional harm that was caused from these past five years of trying to survive this situation without needed help has only caused my physical and mental health to suffer more then I would have thought possible back when my husband first died and I was left ill and alone. I still have not been able to fully understand the harm that has been caused from being pushed out of the way and left to suffer alone.
