How can a person come to grips with the very real probability of losing independence?

IN response to your question, I know that the thoughts of losing your independence are so depressing!  However, usually the loss of independence is such a gradual thing that you do have time to deal with it over a period of time.  I always think of people like Christopher Reeves or others who lost total independence so suddenly, with no preparation whatsoever, then I feel fortunate to have what I have.  I have a strong faith in God that has helped me to persevere through all that I've been through.  I pray that he will give me what I need to cope and adjust.  Also, I always remember that everyone has limitations in some form or another.  I have a strong mind and maintain confidence in myself in other areas of my life and I focus on my strengths. -Bonnie
