Losing vision

by Em   Dec 9, 2020


My vision may be going
but my hope will never leave
for I'm quickly reaching goals
so my vision won't be grieved
though I wonder how I'll cope
once it's completely left my side
but I'm strong, I've had to be,
for my life's be one tough ride.

The peripheral vision is hazy,
it's gradually turning things black,
my idipathic intracranial hypertension
is on a brutal attack.

Life has never been easy
and I cry into my coffee
for the one thing I will miss
is my little p+q family.

    You are SO incredibly strong, and I cannot begin to imagine all that comes with trying to understand this, and learning what can work from you. My heart hurts that you are going through this. But I believe you will find ways to cope. Just let yourself feel, whether that's grief, doubt, pain... and know that you have support from all of us here on PnQ.

    Sending you all the love. You got this and you are not alone <3

    Em, there is so many helpful aids for the visually impaired now. My uncle has been totally blind since he was a child. It has never stopped him from doing anything. He texts me from his I-phone and uses a lap top. Yes, this is daunting but doable. Stay positive my dear. If you haven't already you need to get in touch with your version of the National Federation for the Blind. They are a wonderful organization and are there to help with the transition and navigating day to day struggles. Hugs you-
