  • I believe all she said was important and very true. I also believe that until we get past the Bereavement part our loss, we cannot focus on our Attitude which will determine where our Will is. Specially, if we do not have ONE person in our Family to help us.

    We sometimes we have to reach bottom, to let go and allow God, Universe to begin receiving help because we were too used to fight for survival. It took me 57 Years and a lot of suffering and Therapy to start to Trust myself and in God

  • This interview really encompasses all the key points of living with a chronic illness of disability. Dr. Diddel has incredible insight into dealing with the psychological minefield of learning to live with chronic illness or injuries.
