This series explores a type of grief many people don’t talk about..
The grief of losing the version of yourself that existed before disability or chronic illness. It’s about the emotions, the identity shifts, and the ways we learn to adapt.
Here you’ll find my story alongside the stories of others in our community, each one showing that grief isn’t weakness.. it’s part of being human.
