After a car accident put me into the hospital, I felt very angry about the way my life was turning out. The doctors repaired the major damage done to my –1--. And after all, the car was just that, a car. But I was lying there feeling pretty sorry for myself. I didn’t care to see anyone or talk to anyone.

I had been there about a week. For the week the nurses had been good about leaving my door closed.–2-- one bright morning I was awakened by –3-- of people out in the hallway. Since I was still feeling –4-- for myself, I didn’t wake up in a pleasant –5--. As I pushed the –6-- to call the nurse,  I saw a little boy in the hallway. A cast (石膏夹) completely –7-- his arm, from fingers to shoulder, but his face was covered with a smile. In his other hand he was holding a teddy bear.

  I heard his mother telling him to sit and wait until she was done. He looked over to me and I had the permanent (持久的) anger on my face, but he ---8--- at me. Then ---9--- warning he came running into my room. As I was silently cursing (咒骂) the nurses for leaving my door ---10---, the smile upon his face widened.

He came right up next to my ---11--- and stood there smiling at me. Then with his good arm he held out his big brown teddy bear. It was missing an eye but I had to admit it was lovely. I lay there and stared at him for the longest time,not---12---what he was wanting from me. He said, “This is Teddy. He’s --- 13---sick. He needs to stay here. Could you keep him here till he gets better?”

I---14--- out and took Teddy from his hand. I promised I would take care of Teddy---15--- the time he got better. I also promised to keep him from ---16--- afterwards. Just then the little boy’s mother called him. He looked back at me, said---17--- and ran out of the room. His mother smiled down at him and the nurse wheeled him away. I sat there ---18--- Teddy for the longest time. The nurse responded to my call ---19---in time to catch the tears rolling down my cheeks and the biggest smile on my face.

I will never forget what that little boy gave to me that day. It was so much ---20--- a well-loved one-eyed teddy bear. I have kept my promises to that little boy, too.

The day my fiancé fell to his death, it started to snow, just like the bottom hadn’t fallen out of my world when he fell off the roof. His body, when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it pile up.
One morning, I shuffled(拖着脚步走) downstairs and was surprised to see a snowplow(扫雪机) clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling my walk. I dropped to my knees, crawled through the living room, and back upstairs so those good Samaritans would not see me. I was mortified. My first thought was, how would I ever repay them? I didn’t have the strength to brush my hair, let alone shovel someone’s walk.
Before Jon’s death, I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors. I defined myself by my competence and independence. How could I respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch everyday and watch the snow fall?
Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wasn’t easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried because I couldn’t even help them set the table. “I’m not usually this lazy,” I swept. Finally, my friend Kathy sat down with me and said, “Mary, cooking for you is not a burden. It makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”
Over and over, I heard similar words of comfort from the people who supported me during those dark days. One very wise man told me, “You are not doing nothing. Being fully open to your grief may be the hardest work you will ever do.”
In many ways I have changed for the better. I have been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from facing one’s worst fear and walking away whole.
