Limb loss is a very emotional experience and can be very confusing and overwhelming. Most people have never known anyone that has experienced limb loss or uses artificial limbs. There can be feelings of anxiety when thinking about life with utilizing an artificial limb.

Many will go through periods of depression, anger, fear and sadness when coming to terms with the reality of limb loss. This is all a normal part of the healing process and it is necessary to mourn the loss to prepare yourself to overcome the challenges ahead.

The most important thing to remember is to focus on the future and do not dwell in the past. You are not alone, and there are individuals that have overcome limb loss that can be a good source of information and support.
