My wife has a colostomy. Compared to Beryl, we do have it MUCH better. We all say that the physical toil is nothing as bad as the emotional toil! God please bless all the colostomates.

I love this lady. Smart, funny, STRONG and living life to the fullest.

I have had one for 34 years I know what you are talking about you are an inspiration

I've had my stoma for 18 years. I can identify with the lack of support and missing out on education. This has had a real social and financial impact.These are the things that Surgeons don't tell you and Nurses don't prepare you for.

awwww bless you Beryl. Great inspiring story. Of course you are also a super active person attending classes too. We love you xxx

What a lovely woman.

I'm glad I came upon this video. You're an inspiration. Thanks

Thank you for sharing your story. I had my ileostomy for 30 years now. What an experience. Lots of love.

Thank you Beryl 👍🤗

You are really a hero 🌹 And your husband is a great man 👍

What an inspiration you are. Lovely video to watch. Makes us newbie ileostomy mates feel very fortunate as to what is available today for stoma patients, Thank-you for posting this video, I feel very humbled.

This lady is truly AMAZING‼️

Inspring Beryl. I hope this video will help all those who are struggling with the life changes that come with stomas. I know you helped Rob and I.

Want an incredible story of courage and determination. Thank you for sharing. ❤

You're very brave. Thank you for your inspiration.

What an inspiring story. I was born with Spina Bifida, was given 7 years to live. I have a Urostomy bag (for bladder) for the past 56 years. Was married for 6 years ( husband died unexpectedly of a heart attack). I worked as a receptionist at the Association for the Physically Disabled Greater Johannesburg for 31 years until I no longer could walk. I live in my own batchelors apartment for almost 22 years. Am involved with an amazing English guy 6 years younger than me for 20 years I am Afrkaans). He takes care of me because I became bedridden 4 years ago, although I have the support of my family. I make use of home based care and it is very humiliating as I was very independent apart from the fact that I can't drive. This situation I am in now is very depressing and I can't accept what has happened to me. I don't have children but am the proud mother of 2 beautiful Calico cats (mother and daughter). Some of my family members didn't think I would be productive in live and thought I would land up in a home for people with disabilities but because I was very determined I had to proof them wrong. I'll be celebrating my 59th birthday May 18th next year. From South Africa

You are a legend xx

I cant imagine being a child and teenager how difficult it would be to have a Stoma!

Fabulous brave lady - you are amazing to tell your story and may I add, what a fabulous family you have - bless you all. xxxx

She is lovely!

Lovely video

God bless you.

I’ve have one now two years no help from the start threw me in the water sink or swim I’ve struggled the last two years 😔

My experience from talking with organisations such as these are that they like to be falsely positive.

God bless you

Poor Beryl. Life can be horrible.

Informative video but bad production as the music coming in and out is too loud and distracting.

Hi. Is anyone here now? 2024
