What are the personalities, social supports, environmental factors, etc., which have some people able to see the dark side only, losing the joy of life, versus what allows others to be able to feel hope and joy still sometimes, even through immense pain and loss? How to decide whether to go back to doing what we used to love, or to pick something new that won’t remind us of how things used to be? When to choose the comfort of having others help us, and when to try to do whatever it is ourselves – how important is it to keep some degree of control?
Dan talks in this episode with the athletically and sports-activist-minded Ryan DeRoche about much more than Ryan’s quadriplegia.
