In December of 2023 I had a living donor liver transplant. Since then, it has been hard to find excitement in things I used to enjoy. Recovery takes 6-12 months and I know it’s still early. Searching for a spark.
I have found myself revisiting things of my past that at one point lit a flame in me to see if there’s any gas left but nothing so far.
My body definitely does not feel “normal” and each day feels as if I am on a search for inspiration.

Has to be an experience and thanks for sharing here.
My uncle had that same transplant a few years back. It was a difficult adjustment so I am sure you're in the throes of it🫂 This might sound wacky but have you tried talking to your new liver? Expressing gratitude or even the frustrations of you trying to incorporate it into your being? Kinda like, hey this is difficult but i wanna be on the same team and find joy with you, can we do that together? I have a client with a problematic liver and she reported this exercise was helpful. Hers had a different context but maybe it would be helpful for you too? Sending all the good vibes for recovery✨ and wishes for an abundance of sparks to light your life 🎇
Thank you for coming in! I have done something similar where I talk to my body and express to it how we have a new member of the family that we need to embrace and accept as our own. I figured since my body is the one that will potentially reject it, that it needed to be reassured. I will exercise your suggestion now too. I believe there is value in both but I had not thought of that.
