Help me out , what's your thought's ??

I could never begin to even understand the depth of your pain, because I have not experienced it. And I pray that I may not have to. All I can say is that my heat goes out to you. I hope you know that there were people who care about you...people who have given me this link so I could extend a hand, or a comforting voice to you. There are people who care. They are people who say a silent prayer after reading this.

I hope you find the reason in all these. It may not be easy, but you will soon find the hope and the reason for life -- you are alive. That is all that matters. You are alive because you are meant to touch people's lives. You are alive because your children needs a mother. You are alive because there is something good waiting for you. Just keep on believing that.

I had written a post just last night. My close friend @freezywater thought of YOU after reading my post. And he thought I should visit your page. And I am glad I did. I was touched by your story....let me share with you a few lines from my post:

"You may have lost something, but that does not make you a loser.
You may have failed at something, but you are not a failure.

Your wounds are the sacred parts of you in which you have been transformed. They are the signs of your redemption; they are not your weakness. They are just the path you have travelled; they are not who you are.

Do not hide them, apologize of them, or judge them.
EMBRACE YOUR SCARS OF THE PAST. Honor them.

Everytime you see them or every time others notice those 'scars', just say:
"These scars tell the remarkable story of my life and how I have lived bravely, generously, with all I have to give."

I can say that i know how this feels like. Im paralyzed as a result of drunk people shooting at 9 yo kid. My injury is at level c4-c5. I can breathe on my own, but need also 24/7 care with everything. Now im 23. Ive had a lot of time to think about why this happened to me. I will never figure this out.

Good luck to us, we deserve and need this!

Hi Parawch:

I can completely understand how you feel as I live in that same world you do. I am now 38 years old. I was injured in a car crash 2 years ago when I was 36 years old. I broke my neck, crushed C-3-T4. I was in a coma for 14 weeks and when I woke after a few days I was told about what happened not remembering a thing about the accident. I was told by my family and drs. I was pralyzed from the neck down. I was on a vent to breath. All I could do was cry and think how did this happen to me, why me and what do I do. I have a business, 2 stroy home, and 3 kids and a husband.



After being in the hospital for 3 months, I was moved to a rehab center. Where I spent another 3 months. . Speaking was a new challenge for me and still is 2 years later. My best friend came to stay with me and he made things so much better. My other friend was an older woman and son would help me when I was in the hospital and rehab. Other than those 3 people I was alone in a world I never knew before.



Each day since the accident is a new challenge. I need and have 24/7 care. Everything is done for me. My paralysis has never improved at all. And neither has my speech. I am still on a vent to breath and other things.



So I can completely understand your world. If you or anyone would like to chat or talk please feel free to email me at snugglesmylove@aol.com. Good luck on your journey and God Bless.

Hi there,

There are definitely a lot of resources for mothers who have disabilities. I would definitely google it and see what comes up. I know that the Care Cure board has a section about parenting with disabilities. Madonna Long has a SCI and is a mother of four. She also had a website at one point. Maybe you could contact her ?

Best,

Jessica
