I went through this with my fiancée, while 8 mos.pregnant, in a workplace accident that shattered our lives. No doubt, it's the therapy that makes the difference, whether your country has "complete" healthcare or not. I spent 99% of my time filling in what was "not covered in job descriptions" or "allowed by the union". I had zero training, but a keen mind and the determination to learn. Thank you YouTube. If you love someone, you lend them your will to live for a while, along with a shit ton of energy and patience. Happy to say that was 7 years ago, and we made it.

Wow. Thanks! I never thought too much about my end of it tbh...till I saw this post. Some effects have lingered for us both, but to be alive with our daughter everyday is the gift that keeps on giving.

“If you love someone, you lend them, your will to live for a while“…… and now I’m crying.

Thanks for sharing this story. Been going through some rough time last year. And most of my feed on reddit is pretty darn depressing as well. It was really nice to see this story and the comment. You brightened an internet stranger after a long tough day. Thanks.
