On Grief and Acceptance

The image is based on the Stages of Grief by Kubler-Ross. I have definitely been through the acceptance process multiple times as I have learned ever more about not just surviving chronic pain, but also learning to live life fully in spite of chronic pain. And, in my case, it gets harder each time as all losses of ability are cumulative. There is no such thing as "practice makes perfect" for this.

Then, with the death of my mother 6 months ago, learning even more at a far deeper level--certainly not through it yet. With this loss, things are still too new and deep for full acceptance to even seem possible.
