@badmutha: and they seem to be quite decent to their wedding planners.

I wonder where they go to their honeymoon?

@CurtCole: I thought they might do a tour of the nicest cemeteries out there, but I can see your point, if they went cemetery seeing they would start talking shop.

@Ailatan: Unfortunately, it is the same with the catacombs, pyramids, and many shinto temples. All dead, all the time, makes life so dull and lifeless. Oops! See what i did there!

@OhKermie: Best wishes to your friend. I was raised by my uncle who lost a leg at the age of 17 and lived 55 long, active years afterwards. He was truly one of the happiest men I ever knew, because he concentrated on everything he could do and was too busy to notice the few things he couldn't.

And your description of the Israeli dance program reminds me of a program I read about for returning U.S. vets who have lost leg(s) in Iraq or Afghanistan. It puts them in a pool where they learn how to kayak, complete with eskimo rolls and everything, and then they go on a river. The vets who did it said that using their body in a new way let them build a relationship with and learn to accept their new body, and realize how much it was still capable of.

Since none had ever kayaked before, it let them learn something new without feeling frustrated by how different it now was, or feel limited.

This reminds me of an amazing documentary I watched about young women in Israel who have survived suicide bomb attacks. All of the women had suffered massive physical damage; some were covered in burns while others were missing limbs. They were all enrolled in a dance class together, very much a free movement and creative body expression kind of thing. The goal was to heal their relationships with their bodies, to enable them to find grace and beauty in themselves, and to create a support network of people experiencing similar things.

Man, it was tough to watch, and I cried like a baby at times. But these women were so strong, even when they had bad days, and it was just beautiful. The ladies above make me feel that same fierce, heart-bursting pride in the strength of the human spirit.

does anybody else get that weird buzzy feeling in your solar plexus when you see others who have severe physical injuries, the way these women do?
