    Heather, First thing… G’Day 🙂 I am a full time wheelchair user as a result of Multiple Sclerosis. Unfortunately, MS can include all manner of other challenges…. vision etc… My life is NOT over but certainly has changed ! It is all in the approach really…. my life on a day to day basis is the opposite of what it was in so many ways… but I smile, challenge myself and give it everything…. My advice for people who are struggling is to find something they like to do or want to do, or learn to do and then have a go. 🙂

    Life is not over for the people born with disability. People who were born with 5 senses, mobility in their limbs, in other word, ‘normal’ (which is inappropriate term because it implies disabled people aren’t normal), to lose one of the functions can be devastating because they’re not used to this newly acquired life with disability.
