It makes sense! I was reading about different stages of grief (5-7 different stages). A traumatic experience like stroke is linked to a feeling of loss and a period of grieving. I think it helps understanding where you are, so that one is aware how it impacts you and your loved ones. M
That is exactly how I would describe my mental state.I am grieving for the loss of my health and old life.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for sharing this. Often people think of grief as associated with the loss of someone or loss of life, but grief takes shape in the loss of many things after stroke.
