What a compelling and an informative read! I do not have MS and I only knew a few things about this health issue but after reading this it has shed so much light on this topic. The author Tara Fetcko is a strong warrior who may have MS but will not be a victim to this terrible disease. We need more people’s voices like Tara to shed light on health issues to show someone that they are not alone in their struggle.
As a 27 year old who had an accident this past year and has a neck and back injury this read was incredibly relatable. One thing that resonated with me the most while reading this was Tara speaking about how when you are stunted with a disease or injury or any kind of health problem it’s difficult to be able to do things on a whim. I was a workaholic and social butterfly my whole life. This past year has been a struggle and adjustment for me getting used to a “new normal”. It’s important to have people around you who do understand you and can understand that life looks a bit different for you nowadays because of something completely out of your control. One thing this book shared as a hard lesson I learned this past year was that everything goes day by day and we must be kind to ourselves , bodies , and minds. Just because you were unable to do something yesterday doesn’t mean you won’t be able to do it today.
Thank you so much to Tara for allowing me to read her story. You are a light in this world and I hope everyone can learn something from your story.
