My Journey with RNIB and Sight Loss

I’ve often thought about what it would be like to lose my sight. I have a condition where this is always a possibility, and my sister went blind nearly 20 years ago, struggling for some time before she got the help and support she needed. In fact, I lost my sight a few years back and dealt with this reality for around 24 hours before being told it was a completely curable detached retina. The fear I felt before knowing my sight would be restored was indescribable. Even knowing as much as I did about the full life my sister and others were able to live didn’t make it any easier for me. Had it continued, I know I would have gone through a full grief cycle for what I had lost.
