u/ESPOP

I miss feeling the sun on my face

I miss the smell of a rainy day

I miss cycling and dancing

I miss watching movies and bingewatching shows

I miss music and concerts

I miss playing videogames and boardgames

I miss petting cats

I miss showers and feeling clean

I miss seeing new places

I miss talking to friends and family about anything other than my health

I miss feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep

I miss spending time with my husband, doing anything else other than laying in bed hugging and talking (and crying)

I miss having an equal partnership with my husband

I miss being able to trust that doctors have the knowledge and expertise to help me

I miss taking pride in my achievements

I miss improving my skills or strength after challenging myself

I miss being able to trust my own body

I miss taking comfort in thinking "it could always be worse", instead of it feeling ominous

I miss making plans for the future

I miss my old life
