“but some may take losing a limb over losing a child. “
Every parent worth the air they breathe would do this.
Yes, I meant the pain of 2 similiar experiences. Loss of life is not an “emotional” one. Its an irreplacable one.
And I could never put myself in someone elses shoes on emotional pain. All I meant is, I think (hope?) I could bounce back from an emotional setback easier than from a physical one, because of how I look at life as a whole.
I’ve touched bottom several times (in both the personal and professional arena) and instead of throwing in the towel, I took stock, recovered and tried again, all the while, making sure not to repeat the same mistakes twice.
