The Kiss of the Angel of Hope

Do not grieve, dear soul, even if your body remains ill and bound to a bed of suffering. I will carry you on my back so that you may bring the flame of hope to the world — the flame that God first kindled in your heart.

Having dreams crushed by disability is such a deeply traumatic experience, the realization that you’ll never be able to do the thing you want most in life because your body isn’t able to handle it. Waking up the day after you received the news and feeling that utter sense of heartbreak in your chest. Watching people go on and do those things while you sit on the sidelines, forced to watch bitterly. That feeling of being trapped, imprisoned by your inability to do what you love. The grief, the anger, the sadness. All because your body doesn’t allow you to.

I don’t understand how when a doctor runs a test for a symptom, and the test doesn’t explain the symptom, that doctor decides the only logical conclusion is that the symptom isn’t real rather than their test not being the right one. How does that make any sense???
