[stylist] Help! I'm being tormented by my essay!

[Angela fowler]

Oh, I guess it does touch on that. Well, if you want to use it, go ahead.
It'd be good to see it put to some good use.

Yes.  I've been working with someone for about a year now.  The newly
disabled are in a different situation than someone disabled from birth. 
Besides myself, I know many people in this situation and all of us found
that when we first became disabled we needed help with coping skills, we
went through the steps in mourning that people go through when they lose
someone or something very dear to them and we had to get back to a point
where we liked ourselves again.  Eventually we are just as normal as our
peers, but it doesn't happen overnight.  Judith
