I don’t mean to sound arrogant, because I am not disabled, but in a way, when you go from being perfectly healthy to facing a serious physical challenge, it can feel very much like the life you knew has come to an end, and facing the new and different life you will have can be daunting. Any kind of change in your life, whether in your relationships, body, work, or schedule implies the end of the old way of doing things and an adaptation to the new. I have heard it said that even a divorce must be properly mourned, as it is the death of a dream; a dream of a life lived a certain way. I imagine it could be the same with a person who becomes disabled; they may have to face and recover from losing opprotunites due to their injury. This can be a long process involving many attitude adjustments along the way; and some may never recover, emotionally, from their physical problems. If you know someone that this has happened to, try to be patient with them and encourage them when they show sparks of hope and optimism. Good luck.
