Episode 5 - The White Cane Moment: From Shame to the First Step

John tells the pivotal story of a clinic visit and a blunt, compassionate exchange that exposed his embarrassment about losing sight and pushed him toward acceptance — including the humbling but clarifying “confrontational” vision test and the suggestion to train with a white cane. He explains how naming feelings early, sharing them with trusted people (and caring for partners/caregivers), and embracing grief as a refining process helped him stop lashing out and begin healthier, braver steps forward.   Cover artwork: Jennie Lodien Editing assistance, Ann Powers and Wayne Hepler  Audio Editing: Reed Seely Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/christopher-galovan/peace-be-with-you License code: 6BBTWLZGASK3QFNM
