There is a kind of grief that comes with chronic illness that isn't always talked about.
The grief of losing your independence. Of plans that never happened. Of dreams that suddenly feel further away.

Sometimes, it's missing the person you used to be. Sometimes, it's grieving the things you can no longer do, or the things you have to think twice about.

And sometimes, it's grieving a future you imagined so differently.
You can learn to live with your illness and still feel that loss.

You can find beautiful moments in your life and still wish things had been different.
These feelings can exist together.

And you don't have to pretend that everything is okay to appreciate what you still have.
