When you become disabled - everyone will start suggesting fixes to you. People can’t comprehend the chronic nature of chronic illness.

Trying to accept that your life is forever changed is made harder by those constantly suggesting a magic cure will get you “back to before”.

When tempted to ask “have you tried yoga?” Please don’t. Take a breath. Realize we’re grieving the loss of our old life & body & trying to learn acceptance. You’re hindering that important process by making it seem like there’s a quick & easy fix.

Sit with us in our grief. Don’t try and fix us.
