  • How do you balance joy and sorrow in your life with SMA?

    I really enjoyed this column by fellow SMAer Connie Chandler, in which she explored the balance between joy and sorrow. I especially like when she said, ”The balance is not in pretending that either doesn’t exist; it’s letting both tell the truth, without letting either one take over.”

    That idea resonated with me because sometimes there’s pressure to always “stay positive,” while other times the harder emotions can feel overwhelming. But real balance may mean allowing ourselves to acknowledge both the good and the difficult without guilt about either.

    How do you personally balance joy and sorrow in your life with SMA?
