My license expired in August. I had hoped to be able to drive again before then but it was not to be. I remind myself how fortunate I am to have someone who loves me enough to run all those errands that I cannot.

I have three years to renew without retesting. So I have a new goal.

Sometimes I think about how I used to love driving at night with the windows down and the radio blasting. It always makes me cry a little. {{{hugs}}}

Vent away any time too.

I empathize with you. I experienced something similar. Had my license revoked for 9 months after I fell asleep driving Want to let you know I am glad you are venting. Too often we feel we need to put on a strong front and graciously accept each loss.

We need to remember the importance of acknowledging how we feel. We need to go though anger, depression, bargaining,..can’t remember the other one and of course we come to acceptance.

Each time something new happense we go through these steps again, each time it gets faster and the tendency of getting stuck diminishes. Each time we have to re-create ourself. We have to say goodbye to the old one and help to create the new person we have become.

I hope you have a doctor who knows you well and will be on your side. Though, we drive so little, just knowing we can go somewhere makes us feel better.
