S3_E6: Cori - Sometimes, MS Is a Lesson for the Ones Who Watch

What if suffering isn’t a punishment… but a lesson for those who see it?

In this powerful episode of The Other Side of MS, Cori — a mother, advocate, and MS warrior — opens up about the grief, faith, anger, and invisible struggles that come with living two decades with multiple sclerosis.

She shares how her perspective has evolved over the years, the lessons her children are learning by watching her fight, and the moments she’s felt abandoned — by her body, by faith, and by those who just “don’t get it.”

Cori doesn’t sugarcoat the truth. She talks about the exhaustion of constantly having to explain herself, the vulnerability of visible disability, and the heartbreak of being seen only as a diagnosis.

“Sometimes suffering isn’t a punishment for the person who’s suffering. Sometimes it’s a lesson for those who see it.”

If you’ve ever felt unseen in your MS journey — or want to understand what it really feels like — this is the conversation we need to have.
