The Body That Changed the Plan

Your body may no longer support the pace, work, activity, or independence through which you once understood yourself. That change can affect more than what you are able to do. It can unsettle identity, confidence, relationships, and the future you expected to inhabit. The Body That Changed the Plan addresses this difficult transition without demanding gratitude, triumph, or a cheerful lesson. William R. Stanek helps you distinguish the form your life once took from the values that form was serving. You will explore what can continue differently, what must be mourned, what needs redesign, and what present limits require acceptance rather than blame. Adapting does not mean pretending the loss is insignificant. It means refusing to treat changed circumstances as proof that your identity, contribution, or remaining possibilities have disappeared with them.
