I agree, Phil. I just think both grief and acceptance is
needed to find emotional stability and to live
life without every day and every hour focus on illness or
disability.
Life is a wondrous thing, TM or not.
It goes without saying that we all wish we didn't have to
deal with this, as well as our common
desire to get better, but enjoying life "in spite" of these
speed bumps is perfectly possible, and in
my opinion an important factor of continued growth, both
physically and emotionally.
