Overview

'The Disability Experience II' focuses mostly on the first three years after surviving the accident, a period of time I call 'The Aftermath'. This was a time of profound change in lifestyle as I worked through the stages of grief to slowly reach some degree of acceptance. Nearly every aspect of my life was impacted by physical disability. Learning to cope was a difficult and not always graceful process. Writing has helped me continue to work through these issues as well as others in my life. I write primarily poetry, so have also included a selection of poems I've written since my first book. My three goals for this book are: 1) To let others with disabilities know they are not alone. 2) To give the non-disabled a chance to see into our world. 3) To show the therapeutic value of writing in dealing with illness.
