I was browsing facebook today and came across a post from a facebook friend of mine who also has Mitochondrial Disease. She has a daughter with the disease as well. We have talked many times and I really look up to her for how well she handles everything that she has to deal with. I know I have a very difficult time with my disease and the effects it has on my life and the lives of my family. However, she has to deal with twice as much since she's not the only one sick and in a wheelchair, her daughter is as well. She is frequently posting things on facebook that she has read that are very insightful. This is one of those times.
I'd like everyone who reads my blog to read this article - http://articles.latimes.com/2013/apr/07/opinion/la-oe-0407-silk-ring-theory-20130407
We've all heard of the spoon theory by now. This article discusses the Ring Theory. The spoon theory is all about energy and how it's used. The ring theory is about what we say to other people who are going through a difficult time. Everyone needs to read the article and take its advice, some more than others.
