My Life

[Onedayok]

I'm forever searching for the life I will never find. Lost in sadness while the steps i see never reach the light ahead. Everyone looks happy there.

Hi.

Can I assume that by "the life I will never find" you mean the life you had before the injury?

Agreed you will never get back there: nobody can.

Life has this very annoying habit of continually moving forward whether we are ready or not.

Don't let people looking happy fool you.

Everyone has their own issues and just as your brain injury can't be seen or understood from the outside.

Best advice I was given was to grieve for what I'd lost and forge a new, different and, as it happens, in some ways better life.

Celebrate every little win .

my son came to see me the other day my ex has given me so much pain and stress. Mark said you need a six months plan I said really but thinking about it makes sense. A six months plan.is what I need apart from my head injuries caused by my ex. My leg has decided to become deformed my foot is deformed too. an infection all before I was able to buy any Christmas cards to anyone and I feel so guilty but I can’t change what’s happened but what I can do is plan for a better future. I’ve never thought of it in that way but I am 75 and I need to be secure, and happy. As we all do, I wish you all a very happy peaceful and healthy Christmas and if we can walk on into a much brighter future so.God bless you all love Liz and my adorable and naughty doggy Shelly ⭐️🎄

agree to shit times!! Why this is a life saver of a site!! We all seem to be suffering the same, so can relate. Normal people have no idea, find us scared, all I can suggest is to SMILE to spite the injury?!! Others will think u mad but I find it very therapeutic!! Just look out for the men in white coats!!….
