Beginning

Meredith: 

Patients who undergo an amputation often feel sensation where the missing limb was, as if it's still there. The syndrome is called "phantom limb". It's as if the body can't accept that a terrible trauma has occurred. The mind is trying to make the body complete again. Patients who experience phantom limb report many different sensations. But by far the most common is pain. 

Ending

The body can be stubborn when it comes to accepting change. The mind holds out hope that the body can be whole again. And the mind will always fight for hope, tooth and nail. Until it finds a way of understanding this new reality and accepts that what is gone, is gone forever.
