This Line Hit The Nail Squarely On The Head...

"If you lose your purpose, it's like you're broken."

~ Asa Butterfield as 'Hugo Cabret' in the 2011 film, "Hugo"

ONE OF THE STAGES OF GRIEF:

I'm a thirty-six year old woman, and have been in a nursing facility ever since December 20, 2012, and will always be in a nursing facility, due to advanced and aggressive Multiple Sclerosis. As a result, this line immediately resonated with me upon hearing it. Before, I was the "Donna Reed" housewife, where the inside of the house was my domain. It, along with errands such as the banking, grocery shopping, etc... were my purpose. Now that I can't even bear weight, let alone walk, I am unable to take care of the household, OR, for that matter, myself.

I feel like I lost my purpose: BROKEN.

This is a stage I go through every once in a while, as my legs are "Phantom Limbs", even though I still have them. Seriously, autoimmune diseases are a frickin' *itch!

Like I said before, this line hit the nail squarely on the head.

Thank you so much for sharing. I don't know what you have been through but I hope that you are doing well.

That line was so, so true. I think it hits home for us all.

If you're a proud follower of Jesus Christ, post this as your signature! 😀

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. Best I can hope is that medical research continues, a cure is found, and your family remembers and cares for you so you can feel you have purpose. Best wishes!
