When the partner
of a disabled person leaves him/her after the accident, no matter the time
period thereafter, people always come up with the assumption that he/she just
gave up because of the condition. Not being fully aware of how difficult it
must be for the patient to have to accept what has happened and how such a
thing could change someone completely. When a person becomes a paraplegic it
must change ones whole outlook on life and the way you carry yourself as a
person with a disability. I can only imagine how difficult and lonely it must
be to have to go through with the recovery stages alone in the hospital, even
though in the back of your mind you know that your family is right there
supporting you all the way. Having to deal with something that has happened to
you can leave you with so many unanswered questions, especially when you don’t
remember a thing. Most of us live a selfish and ungrateful life, when we should
actually be thankful to the Almighty for sparing our lives no matter the
situation we are in. it is like something bad always has to happen for us to realize what is really happening around us, which is wrong because that
something bad might just not happen to you and then you will continue a living
a lie until one day it is too late for a full recovery.
I agree with you a hundred percent. Majority of people always have a drastic change of heart or way of living, once something equally as drastic has happened to them. Some individuals don't even have a change of heart, they just feel sorry for themselves and they think life and the entire world owes them something. Its really sad that things like this should happen for change to come about but people like Zuki are truly an inspiration. I like your way of thinking hey....:)
ReplyDeleteMany people do not understand that life is actually a journey, it has its valleys, twists, deep valleys and even high peaks, each and everyone goes through that journey and there will always be those deep valleys and high peaks where one is expected to face up with so many challenges, some even lose hope and give up , its very fascinating that Zuki went through her journey and dealt with that even though it was not that easy but she made it,people like her are truly strong. she inspires other disabled people who have that thing at the back of their minds that they simple can't do it.true we have to thank the Almighty for it is his will that everything happens
ReplyDeleteIn most cases people do leave the ones they use to love because of their disability or because of what ever happened to them that lead to them being disable or paraplegic and i strongly believe that it shouldn't be like that no matter how hard it is you should support your partner because when things were fine you were the, why not now? but then again ones happiness doesn't depend on anyone
ReplyDeleteAn experience like this should not be dealt with alone and I admire your response to recognizing the Almighty in any situation that you might find yourself in. We should all be grateful for what we have and appreciate life as it goes by because we never know what tragic experience might come our way. If it does, we should also be able to accept it and grow from the experience which can also bring about change in your life. We should also remember that in any delicate situation we might find yourself in, God wouldn't lay down a burden on you in which you cannot handle. There is a reason for everything.
