It is truly stories like Sarah's that will help, not only others who suffer from MS, but for those who don't.
Then, there's the role of the caregiver or "givers" in this case. Sarah's been blessed with a husband and a son who are more then willing to do whatever they can to pick up where she left off.Yet, it sounds like Sarah is stiil able to contribute in many ways. Its just different now. Her role has changed but, she is still wife, mother and sister to her family. That will never change.
No one signs up for this. Its just handed to you. And you can embrace it, yet, continue to fight....Or you can wonder, why me??...Which I have to admit...I've asked myself.. why me.. many times after my hysterectomy.
But, you can also do something to help others, while accepting what is and learning how to manage it. Its a tall order and a lot to ask but we can learn so much about ourselves and others. As I've learned through my own health situation, its all part of our own journey.
Sarah and her family are Empowered by one another. That's the true gift. Out of something bad, always comes something good. But you have to be willing to look for it.
In Sarah's case...she will touch many lives by telling her story. She will change peoples lives for the better because she was so willing to share. That's a womderful gift she's given to all who will read her story. We can't change the world but because of people like Sarah, we will see great change. But we need to remember, its one woman at a time.
