Limb loss is a very challenging time in one’s life, all types of fearful thoughts flood your mind, and it can feel overwhelming. I try to dispel those thoughts and feelings by being a living example and showing people that losing a limb is not the end of the world, but simply the beginning of a new chapter in life.
