Jane talks about how she is leading her good life. She doesn’t choose to focus on the difficult times she has been through in the past and instead focusses on the positives. If you listen carefully to the areas of life Jane places great value on, it is possible to hear echoes of what has not worked for her previously.  

Jane’s story is of a life of structure, meaning and of purpose. Of belonging and having greater choice and control over the things that are important to her and the ability to prioritise things that make life worth living.  Of being safe and having the opportunity to do things that bring her joy and connection. They are the simple ordinary aspects of life that many disabled people are denied. Without them as Jane so eloquently states, we experience heartache.
