• How can I find meaning again, and feel purposeful and motivated about my life?
• How will I handle the physical and emotional stress of all these new challenges?
• How can I learn new ways of adapting to my challenges, and regain confidence?
• Will I feel healthy and worthwhile again? Who can I talk to about my feelings and worries?
• Who can help my family and I to cope with the new challenges?
