Footnote

a If your disability has just recently come about, you may understandably be struggling with feelings of bitterness, anger, and sadness. In fact, it is perfectly normal​—and healthy—​to go through a period of grieving when you have suffered a serious loss. (Compare Judges 11:37; Ecclesiastes 7:1-3.) Be assured that with time and the loving support of family and friends, the storm of hurt feelings will eventually lessen.
