August 03, 202279. Resilience & Grief in MS
A lot of things come alongside a diagnosis of MS, but typically the emotion of grief and the trait of resilience are not the things in the forefront of your mind. But, they are two very important topics. Today, I chat with Dr. Rosalind Kalb about how to acknowledge and maintain resilience in the face of MS. And also about how it is important to allow yourself the feeling of grief in certain circumstances. She also gives some great tips on how to keep moving forward through difficult times!
Rosalind Kalb is a clinical psychologist who has worked in the MS field for 40 years – first at one of the earliest MS comprehensive care centers and then for 16 years at the National MS Society. Dr. Kalb is now a Senior Programs Consultant for Can Do Multiple Sclerosis with a special focus on cognitive and emotional wellness for people with MS and the unique needs of MS support partners. She has published books and articles about MS, with the two most recent papers being Recommendations for Cognitive Screening and Management in MS Care and Exercise & Lifestyle Physical Activity Recommendations for People with MS Throughout the Disease Course.

MS can seem like such an isolating disease, and at times it can feel like progress is not going to happen. But, that is why I wanted to sit down with Howard S. today. His story is relatable, and proof that progress is actually possible! I hope that hearing Howard's story will give you sense of community, and positivity no matter your situation.
