To add on, my ex-boss tried to make me angry so that I can leave on my own when she finds that I have not recover much from my disability ( so that she can saved 2 months of "standard rate" retrenchment fees), etc. Hey, I can still find peace within myself. Life was never meant to be easy anyway, its just a little tougher for us, thats all!

Somehow Ben..I don't know why... but It is through the pain that we find the deepest and best part of ourselves. I wish and pray that it  wasn't that way. But I never met a good, sincere and caring person who did not at some point suffer greatly. And no matter how hard we think we have it,  It seems there is someone whos story makes you think you have it good.

Well Ben, I'm with you today.  It's a beautiful day outside and I sit here wondering why,after 12 wonderful years together, my husband asked me to go (putting that nicely) when I need him the most.  I never, ever, thought I would be disabled and have to re-learn how to talk, understand what people were saying, read, (I was a great reader) etc, etc.  I don't know why I had the AVM Beast, I don't know why my husband can't live my disability. I try my best to think "In God's time" and other days I get a bit cross as it's very hard to live with  a disability pension.

I want to travel, ride a Harley, do many things I thought I would be able to do and the funny thing (?) is, I can't even say some of the things I want to do! lol

 

 

Like Louisa, my wonderful 'twin' friend, I thank God every day for my life, my loved ones and this site; though I must admit, I'm finding peace and serenity rather difficult jusst now.

 

My brain injury cannot be healed more than it has been, though I' keep on keeping on', as I know you and so many of us do; we have to as we are Survivors, thank God.  I always enjoy your plogs and comments Ben, so take care and as you know, this too will pass!! lol

Oh, Ben..I've had several days just like the one you are having today.   When I pray, I thank God that I'm an AVM Survivor and I pray that God blesses me with peace and serenity because of disability.  Hang in there!

This post couldn't have come at a better time for me. I got my disability decision letter in the mail today. As you know... denied. I dont get it. I never thought at this age that I'd be disabled either, or unable to work or unable to take care of myself or fully provide for myself. All in all ... this sucks.... It's true what you said though that this situation will definitely make me stronger if it doesn't kill me first. Some way I need to turn my frown upside down.... but how......
