I want to address the trauma that comes from having a long-term illness or injury that causes life-long changes as a source of trauma.

People are talking more and more about trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). You’d think that in an age where most of us can get the food we need, and most of us have adequate (if not luxurious) housing, plus we can get a good education and earn a decent living, that there wouldn’t be much need to talk of trauma. Right?
