You can no longer go home: you will instead build a new home.

Trauma is such a journey. Once medically stabilised, it takes a while to realise life will not go back to what it was – both because the body has changed, and because one’s mind and narrative now live somewhere else.
I appreciate this challenge, even if derived from an unfortunate accident: allowing Life to change you, and reinvent yourself accordingly, namely in ridding yourself of whichever dead ends might have been lurking.
 
All this said, it’s not all new-agey existential ruminations: recovery still includes very tangible pain and frustration. But hey, it will pass – and will be replaced by other kinds of pain. And joy.
