Re: [Young Polio Survivors Group] A question to the group

Ramon and group;

I certainly hope that my question was not taken with any hostility by any
member of this group. As it was a sincere question.
I am a Christian myself, and have what is termed a "hidden disability."
I have seen people who are disabled go to both sides of the extreme in re: to
G-d.
Some let their anger be towards G-d, and it stunts their growth (emotional
and spiritual). Other disabled people flourish and do not blame Him at all.
Still others, struggle admittedly from anger to sadness re: the unfairness
of it all.
I don't think personally, that it is unhealthy at all to have the question
now and then of "Why me?" After all, we wouldn't be human if we didn't ask
and our hearts are no secret to Him.
I know that what I went through was no secret to G-d, and that He allowed it
to happen. I also know that He has formed me from the start and I am
definitely used by Him in this life. I am a teacher who also works with
abused and neglected/needy and special needs children and I am sensitive to
these kids needs. I wouldn't be had I not gone through what I did.

So, my question was a serious one, NOT meant to offend in any way.

Julie

Thanks Ramon and Lisa for answering. Now I have another question. In both of your cases, it seems that non-polio was just out of reach. Do you have any anger...
