The most comforting response someone could give to tragic events: "I am so fucking angry; I am thinking of you with grief and rage; I don't even know what to say I am so super fucking angry; it is so fucking unfair; I am sick to my stomach with sadness and anger; BLOODY UNFAIR!, I LOVE YOU and also WHAT THE FUCK? RAGE!"

On C.S. Lewis's A Grief Observed: "What's a devout Christian guy...to do with a big fat heap of despair when the God he believes in has arranged for a fabulous, postresurrection afterlife that doesn't accommodate despair and actually might equate it with sin? He digs and digs with the sharp instrument of his mind."

But if you fall too far out outside culture's ridiculously restrictive assumptions about what a "good" body looks like and does, people believe that one quick glance is enough to pass judgement on your quality of life, your prospects, perhaps even your state of mind and your basic goodness.

It would be nice, however, to move through the world without people assuming that when you are disabled, the devastation is constant, total, consuming and ever present. It isn't.
