recovery
is not a team sport.
It’s a solitary distance run. It’s
long. It’s exhausting and it’s lonely
as hell.
…
The length of your recovery is determined by the
extent of your injuries and is not always
successful. No matter how hard we work at it, some
wounds might never fully heal. You might have to
adjust to a whole new way of living. Things may
have changed too radically to ever go back to what
they were. You might not even recognize yourself.
It’s like you haven’t recovered
anything at all. You’re a whole new person
with a whole new life.
