Such a shame, because I think her experience of life would have been a much happier one.walking the yarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02149462336943917095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252518187604003215.post-68344793839059667032015-09-21T13:31:28.609+01:002015-09-21T13:31:28.609+01:00Firstly, I love the way you live your life with MS...Firstly, I love the way you live your life with MS, realizing you have it but not letting it define you. Your example of Mary is so, so interesting. I got the sense that Mary knew she did not want to get to acceptance, so why go through the anger, bargaining, and depression. She would be terrified at the end, so why not stay in denial? To each his own.
