Rejection is the Deepest Suffering
Rejection is the Deepest Suffering
For many years now I have had the privilege of living with men and women with disabilities. I have discovered that even though a person may have severe brain damage, that is not the source of his or her greatest pain. The greatest pain is rejection, the feeling that nobody really wants you like that. The feeling that you are seen as ugly, dirty, a burden, of no value. That is the pain I have discovered in the hearts of our people.

I like the quote and your page is beautiful! I found your page while looking for someone I used to talk with. She goes by Anchoressnun. I saw that you had quoted her back in 2007 and I wondered if you still had contact with her. I don't necessarily need to contact her, I just wondered if she was still online and how she was doing.
@GeorgieGirl1257 - Thank you for your kind comment! I followed "Anchoressnun" yet lost contact... hope she is well.
