It’s Not Always Easy
Hannah’s Journey Through Grief
Hannah’s Story Continues
Despite being strong, I grieve. One does not preclude the other. I understand that. The accident changed my life. Does that mean it is over? No, but it does mean I am not always as put together as I seem.
I want my life to be a reflection of Christ, and I know he loves me whether I can walk or not. I just wish others didn’t view my disabilities as punishment. People, especially Christians, who act as if I asked to be hurt make an already difficult situation even more difficult.
I am generally happy and upbeat, but the past few months have been difficult for me. Adapting to this new normal isn’t easy for me.
While I could be bitter about what happened, that’s not who I am. There is no need for me to sit around being angry, I need to be a better role model for my children, but I need them to see life is not always going to go smoothly, life is full of roadblocks, but if we turn to the Lord, we can move forward. I hope others can see that in me, not just the Sunday School kids. Also, I want them to see that sometimes we struggle and that’s okay.
