I just do not undertstand. Why me? Why us? When will this nightmare end? I find myself looking around at other people thinking I would o anything to be them-to be normal and healthy. Meanwhile my prayers go unanswered. As hopeful said there has got to be a reason for this....
Most—if not all—of us have been through this—and more. I've accepted that the answers may never be found/known, and I'm concentrating more on adapting, taking better care of myself, and trying to enjoy what I still have.

A couple of things that have helped me move on are knowledge/understandings of some things we have in common—the stages of grief (a.k.a. Kübler-Ross Model) as applied to chronic illness, and the Vicious Cycle(s) of Chronic Pain (and one or more of anxiety, insomnia, stress, depression...)
