but mine is significant and I found truth in what you say. My partner developed MS and I have RA and both of us cannot work anymore. Disability covers the mortgage and that's it - everything else has been covered by savings for 2 years now and the end is in sight. We will have to move most likely, but that looms large in that we are both so physically diminished that someone will have to do it for us. We have animals that will have to be relocated as we know no rental will take our cats. Regardless, I have really looked long and hard at my life and have found some comfort in things I would have dismissed before. I also value very different things now. ANd that old saw, 'everything happens for a reason' is more poignant now as well as my Mother's favorite - 'this too shall pass'


I also know that we are not the first to have difficulty visited upon them and this puts it in a different perspective.
