May the ones we have lost to the terrible effects of RA Rest in Peace, and may they know no more pain.
May the families left behind remember the good over the bad, and may the walk forward in peace. Knowing that the ones lost will be forever at peace.
Remember we choose to live or die with everything life throws at us. Some of us have more to deal with, but in the end we are all just trying to navigate through life with as little pain and suffering as possible. For some of us we get a double dose of the pain, and those of us who do...
We know they joy of life and the sorrow of lose.
We know how bad the pain can be.
We know the sting of rejection, and for some the real meaning of true acceptance.
We struggle daily, for some of us to WANT to live.
In the end we cherish the people around us who accept and love us despite our limitations. We give the ones we love so much more than our love, we give them each and everyone a bit of our soul. If you are truly blessed to know a person who is chronically ill and in pain daily, then remember to tell them you appreciate the effort it took them to just wake up on any given day. For some of us we need to hear that. We need to know that our efforts to live are appreciated and recognised.
Above all remember that EVERYONE has a struggle to overcome...
Sometimes just a kind word could make a difference.
I wrote this a couple of months back when I had heard that 2 women, RA Chicks had taken there own lives. At the same time I had heard that another RA Chick a blogger whose blog I just adored had passed away. Her death was not a result of her RA, still it made me start thinking.
