Mentors and Muses

Loved your article Rebecca! Thanks for sharing your story! I agree I never could have made it these last 5 years if it wasn’t for this site and all the resources, friendships and pictures!
Girl, I think you have accepted yourself. Think about your next chapter and write it in first person!
I am a writer and long to get back into it since I am retired now. I have cared for my wife with MS for 20+ years and it has been rough but good now,
Please embrace your true self. You were made this way honey. We don’t choose this path…we embrace it as you have!
Hugs,
Hope

Hope, many thanks for your kind comments; much appreciated! I wrote it in the 3rd person because I wanted it to be not only autobiographical, but also to some extent generic. It was also intended to be a recognition of the profound value that we have all derived from CDH.

As for a sequel ... well, I have wondered about that recently and have tossed a few thoughts around in my head, but I have not really focussed on any specific ideas yet. Mentors and Muses was probably a couple of months in gestation, so I don't expect a sequel to emerge any time soon!

Caring for a loved one is tough; I am finding similar challenges but for different reasons. I am pleased that your situation is good now. Take care ❤️ .

Hugs, Rebecca x
