Receiving confirmation of ALS creates feelings of shock, fear (or terror) and great sadness.
It's like standing in a dim hallway staring into a pitch black room. We need to enter, but fearing the anticipated, unknown potential dangers lurking inside, keeps us rooted in place.
The longer we stand still, not knowing, the greater our fear and immobility becomes.
It requires great strength to step forward and reach out.
Turning on the light gives us power. Power to prepare rationally for the challenges that come. To attempt to be one step ahead or at least, break even. Courage to live each day, one day at a time.
I enjoy the movie "Galaxy Quest". A satire on science fiction space shows. In it the "hero" says,
"Never give in!
Never surrender!
If you fall behind, run faster!
Rise up against the odds!
May you find courage and strength sufficient unto this day.
Tomorrow we begin again!
May Blessings abound -
