Via cat mat Can we just take a second to acknowledge how absolutely traumatizing and terrifying it is to lose your health? Feeling your health decline, not knowing if you'll get worse, but knowing the permanency of your new reality is scary. Often, we don't hear about the fear that comes with a health decline. We are praised fir being strong and enduring so much. We try to keep going despite the terrifying feelings knowing that there's no going back from this. There's a lot of trauma we face, a lot of grieving, and a lot of repressed fears. So, I'm here to say that these feelings are valid, and you're not alone.

It is a lot to process, no matter how many years in you are.
