I know you are in pain and that you feel alone. You are feeling like life is over and that you can't do anything anymore. The harsh truth is... you still have a life worth living.

I too, had things thrown my way in life. For a few months I sat in silence and anger. I had the biggest pitty party you could ever imagine going. Funny thing about that party, the only person attending it was me. In the end, I realized thanks to the help of friends, that my pitty party was doing me more harm than good.

After cleaning up from the party, I realized that yes, something were different, but I still had my life. I still had great friends, and more importantly, I had the choice to live the best possible life I could until things got better.

Sure, I still had bad days. There were days, I could barely get out of bed, but the other days, I did all I could to have the same life I had before. Yes, there were limitations due to surgeries and medications, treatments, physical therapy and fears, but reality was, the days I tried to live as close to normal as I could, the less my pitty party affected me. I found that a day doing anything to avoid my pitty party was a day better spent in getting well.

The pitty party really only served to make things harder. I was in control of how that party made me feel. When I let it go, my life slowly returned to normal. It was soooo much better when I realized that yes, I had to take some things easy, but I still could go to a movie, could still read books, could still listen to music, could still have friends over, could still laugh, could still sit on the porch watching the sunset... my life was still the same. The only thing different was some days I needed a little more rest to get well.

I pray that you will give up the pitty party and allow life to continue. Yes, days will be hard, but you are stronger if you continue to live the best possible life - even on bad days. You need to see that as long as you can make choices, you still have a life - one worth living. The choices may have changed, but you still have them. The only difrerence is you allow yourself to heal and your body to get well.

Think about what I'm trying to say and if you need to hear it from me personally, your friend will tell you how to get in touch with me personally. You have more to live for than you realize. I pray you give yourself a chance to do just that.
