Asking For Help

Her injury did not do her much damage in comparison to the pain that Richard left her. Kelly anyhow had to battle with all that. Just because her children were quite young, she asked her friends and hospital staff to help her with daily chores. Only these people could help her go through this tough phase.

What Next?

The major challenge which Kelly had in front of her was raising her children. Without her husband, by her side, it was definitely going to be difficult for her. But she had no other option than staying strong and mending her broken life. What could she do now?

Depression Took Over

Since Kelly was paralyzed below the waist, and could not walk on her own, how will she be able to manage her family? The mere thought of seeing her children in need of help and not being able to help them was killing Kelly inside. She faced the worst of emotions. Her broken marriage and arising responsibilities made her prey to anger, anxiety and at last depression.

Times Of Despair

Kelly tells that there came a time while lying on the hospital bed made her feel so helpless and useless that she felt like giving up. The only thing which made her live was her children. She knew she had to be strong for her kids. This was not the first time she felt giving up rather another incident compelled her to give up.

Wheelchair Movement

The doctors gave a wheelchair to Kelly. The first time Kelly went outside the four walls of the hospital on a wheelchair, she did not like it. She thought that everyone was just looking at her and making fun of her. She felt so humiliated that she wanted to die. She says, “If someone had given me the choice I would have ended my life, I didn’t want to live anymore”.

Ray Of Hope

When everything seems to tear apart, Kelly got the much-needed motivation in her life. She began to stand using a parallel bar. The other patients at the hospital encouraged her to fight the odds. The feeling that she could stand and walk on a parallel bar was itself enough for Kelly to live that another good news stepped into her life.
