The bombings in Boston have occupied my mind this past week. I’ve been especially thinking about the people whose lives were lost and those whose lives were permanently changed in an instant - so many who will face a long road of recovery with some of them coping with the loss of limbs. My heart goes out to them.
Good health is a gift that is often not appreciated until one loses it. As ME/CFS sufferers, we know the loss of a normal healthy life and not being able to fully function. And although the causes of our loss of functionality are different, the struggle is similar. While we work to unravel the clues to our own versions of ME/CFS, we fight many of the same emotional and psychological demons, the endless hours of being forced to ‘be a patient’ and the loss of parts of our self-identity. It is a long road to recovery for many with dis-ease. The key to getting there is focus, determination and support.
There are many in our communities who are on similar paths to recovery. Our hearts go out to those in Boston. Do you reach out? Are you connecting? Please COMMENT or Send in your thoughts and I’ll post them. You can use the Contact Form or send an email to Martha at DefeatCFS dot net.
Look for a weekly posting on Tuesdays. And consider being part of the conversation.
Be Well Again,
