I am on disability and have been for almost three years. I haven't held a job since early 2014 and before that I held roughly 13 jobs in 15 years. I miss being a nurse and making good money; I miss my house and my car and my social status. But I have forced myself to accept the limitations imposed by my illness, and I've actually begun to adjust to and even enjoy life as a widow who lives with her son and family. I have my own space and I get to travel with them yearly. It's not a bad life...it's just different.
