In this episode, Lorie shares a story from early rehabilitation that begins with snow, mischief, and a group of teenagers in wheelchairs — and ends with a powerful lesson about healing. What starts as a simple snowball fight becomes a reminder that laughter, play, and connection are not distractions from recovery, but essential parts of it.
Abbie and Lorie reflect on how moments of joy can exist alongside grief, and how rebuilding a life after spinal cord injury often begins with the smallest, most human experiences.
