What would you miss most if you were to become blind suddenly?

Most of all what would you do to overcome the negative side of it?

    i would miss looking into people's eyes. my boyfriend, my son, my dogs (does that sound silly, yes, i know they aren't people), clients...

    i'd use words more to communicate.

    Definitely seeing my family and spring time.

    To overcome it I'd try and make more time to be around family and appreciate spring in a different way i.e. by keeping fragrant flowers in the house and getting someone nice to walk me through the botanic gardens.

    I would miss being able to see what I'm drawing or painting. To get over it, I'd take up sculpture, like with clay or sand or snow, and go by feel. I'd also use a lot of self-talk and self-care to get myself over the initial horror and shock of having gone unexpectedly blind.

    I'd miss seeing colors. Vibrant purples, pinks, turquoises, yellows and greens would be hard to do without. I'd rely on my memory and descriptions from others to help overcome the loss.

    Being able to see the world around me. I'm a very visual person. I think if I went blind I'd probably contemplate suicide.

    Hmm probably a lover's face. I'd miss my friend's faces a lot too. I think being around people all of the time would be a lot of help.

    Scenery and colour is what i would miss most. To combat this I would try to keep my memory as active as possible.
