Friends I thought would always be there slipped into silence. Their absence hurt more than the paralysis. I realised I wasn’t only grieving my body, I was grieving my former life and the people who belonged to it.
Loneliness settled in deeply. For the first time, I questioned whether my life was worth fighting for.
And yet, something inside me refused to disappear completely.
