As a mother of four children, one of them newborn, I was diagnosed w/Multiple Sclerosis. I thought it was the end of the world, and that my children would be better off without me. I wanted to die, but couldn't bring myself to abandon my kids.
That was seven years ago, I am now a mother of five, and very happy to be alive. I can't walk, sometimes can't sit up, have limited control of my body functions, but Hashem shows me every day how much I have to live for, and what a blessing I am in other people's lives. I have no doubts about the blessings I get through people, and just from being alive. I wish that there was more support, we each of us seem to have to fight through the initial despair alone ... that's why so many don't make it. I mourn for all people w/disabilities who can't appreciate just how perfect Hashem's world is, that even with these 'hardships,' we can and do not just survive, but can contribute to the goodness in the world.
Thank you for this. -0/2-/2002
