Hi beautiful souls! Thank you so much for being here and for your wonderful comments - I truly appreciate them ❤️ I try to read and answer as many as possible, and know that I’m just so thankful that you take from your valuable time to do so ❤️ Love & light!

Hello Erin, I’m Giny and I wanted to share a story with you. One Year ago I had my right knee replaced. I’m almost 72 and I’ve been given a second chance at walking again. For the surgery, I had to get a spinal block. I felt the needle go in the back and that was the last thing I remember. I woke up still in the OR, it was very noisy and I was trying to free my hands to scratch my nose. After a while I realized I could not feel from the waist down. Needless to say I freaked out! The sweet nurse came over and told me,don’t you remember you had a spinal block. All I kept saying is, I can’t move! I felt nothing from the chest down. It took about hour to give me back feeling. During that time they found a bed and moved me over, by sliding me. It was a horrible feeling. You seem to be handling this with such grace and acceptance I admire you. I am so looking forward to see how you deal with you life now. You are one beautiful gal, even lying on your side. Thank you for letting us in your life.

Hi. I’m Kelly, 62, and feel like I’ve gained a daughter/friend listening to you. You are so strong, honest, and well adapted to your situation. If you are having a bad day, feel free to vent, cry, scream, swear, etc. we will love you always and forever regardless if you’re a “good girl” or having a meltdown.

Eirin, you should be a life coach! Your ideas and the articulate way in which you express them make you interesting and inspirational whether differently abled or not! Thank you for sharing your story and wisdom with your adoring fans--you can count me as one of them! I look forward to watching more of your videos, my new dear friend!

I am a full time carer for my son and I have been struggling recently and have been feeling overwhelmed. Your vlogs have filled me with strength. You are a wonderful girl and a real credit to your family x

Folks here are so impressed by who you are - your character, intellect, and spirit - that your disability seems incidental to your overall identity. ❤

Darling girl, i was mesmerized by your videos today, Especially by the one where you describe your accident. Everything you said so touching. It’s clear to me that God is using you And you are a beautiful vessel. It’s wonderful that to hear that things are changing and looking up every day. I’m looking forward to seeing your new videos. ❤❤❤❤

Oh my goodness me Eirin……for whatever reason your accident story popped up on my feed which I’ve just watched, all i can say is WOW….what an absolute inspiration you are!…I’m struggling to put into words how you made me feel…but all i know is you are the most awesome, beautiful, inspiring, soft spoken, informative, motivational kind hearted person i have ever had the privilege to listen to and watch….you go girl…not everyone would be anywhere near as positive as you are…..you’ve blown me away sweet girl…you really have…I’m sending all the love and anything else you need from little me in the UK xx

I'm from Canada and came across your videos for the first time tonight. You are such a beautiful soul. Your grace brought me to tears. Ive suffered a lot over the past 10+ yrs. At times my autoimmune disease has left me unable to walk, the nerve damage in my legs and feet is so painful. At one point my face was paralyzed for several months (this made it incredibly hard to eat, I had to tape my eye closed at night). It's hard for people to understand the feeling of body parts not working, no matter how fiercely our brain tried to make it move... Through it all, I have found my way back to God. His promise of Heaven is beautiful. He will wipe away all our tears and there will be no more pain for our bodies will be resorted. That thought has gotten me through many dark days. Keep shining my dear. Your story can reach people in ways you never thought possible. All my love and prayers go out to you tonight xo

Wishing you a speedy recovery from your bed-sore! You have a wonderful smile Eirin and appreciate your videos!

Hi Eirin, my name is Sarah… I come from Ireland but live in Ohio USA. I am a caregiver for special needs adults. I’ve done this work for 30 years now. I love to listen and watch ur videos. You are a blessing and encouragement. You are a help to me understand what it feels like being the individual, recipient receiving care. The guys I serve and look after are non verbal. Thank you for sharing. God bless you.

I have a coworker who experienced a complete spinal injury in a car accident. Those are the only details I know. Your videos have given me a glimpse into what he might be experiencing and have made me realize how important empathy is in a workspace. You never know what’s going on in people’s life. Thanks for giving me even just a little perspective- I think it will genuinely help me be a better coworker.

Hi beautiful,I am 45 and I have been paralyzed since 4 from a stroke , my life is so blessed and I am a mother of a 16 year old son I am so grateful.You are so inspiring and I love ❤ you and see you grow every day God bless

I just found your channel and subscribed you're such a beautiful inspiration to this world we need people like you And this world right now God-bless you and I'm here for you And thank you so much for creating this channel💜💜💜💜

First of all, Hello Eirin, my name is Tiffany and I am from East Wenatchee, Washington, USA. I also want to thank for sharing your story. I am a home health nurse and I care for patients (mostly children and young adults) with a variety ailments, many immobile. Much like my patients, I notice you have a beautiful and strong soul, and I appreciate your ability to share your hardships, as well as your strengths. I hope you don’t mind but I shared this video with a couple of my H.H patients. It’s always nice to see others that “look & sound like us”. Learning the new how to dos and a friendly and helpful what not to dos. I have one young man that is also quadriplegic, not by accident, but by a form of muscular dystrophy staring at a very young age. He’s going to love your videos. He loves watching KZfaq. Fortunately, through Eye-tracking technology he can still have outside communications, a virtually go on adventures. Much like you he too was also a busy guy, always on the move, loved the outdoors, and playing musical instruments. I am blessed I stumbled across your page/channel. You’re my new “KZfaq share of inspiration”. Again, I appreciate your story, and your willingness to share what makes your good days and your not so good days. Kind regards, Tiffany

I like routine too and agree it brings security and comfort. 😊 I enjoy listening to you and am learning from you. Thank you for your counsel.

🤩🥰😍 you have such a calming voice and lovely genuine presence, looking forward to more videos.

Hey friend. Thank you for sharing your story. You are very special …..and a blessing to so many. ❤

Hi Erin, this is so helpful to you and others. It's great to hear you have been awarded more hours. These people are helping you with your everyday life, and that's great as routine is key. Your spot on about exercise is so important for your body. Pain is caused by cramps and not being mobile, and it can cause a lot more medical issues if you do not do your physio or routine exercises every day. Have a great week, Erin. I'm looking forward to your next video xx 💕💕💕💕

Eirin, I’m so glad I found your vlog! I loved hearing your story, and feel honored that you shared it with me. Your positive attitude and encouraging message are so needed in this world. I am full of admiration for you and your acceptance of this present situation. Please know that I will be subscribing, and looking forward to being with you again!❤️❤️❤️

Muchas gracias. You are cool. Thanks for suddenly appear and share. Thanks for make this day special. A new fan from México 🇲🇽 ❤

These videos help me so much and all your videos are a tremendous encouragement to me thank you so much. I love hearing your voice, and I listen to your videos each of them at least three times to be quite honest. Thank you again & again.

Oh my gosh! You just said what I always say. You have to fill your own cup up first. Whatever that looks like. So you can fill other people's cups and they can go on filling other people's cups! From the first video I came across I was like.... this empath. She's got a message! Love it! Thank you for sharing your story and actively spreading wonderful messages of positivity.

Hello, Erin. Let me start by saying you are a gifted storyteller. I watched your video about your accident, and it was truly riveting. I very much look forward to more stories! I hope that’s part of what you’ll be doing…you just really have a way with words. So pleased I found this channel.

I found your Channel Yesterday and I Just Adore you!!! Your way of talking, your gentle voice, what you Say and how you Say It. You are such a great woman, Brave, strong and inspirational for all of us. Yes❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love how you just started making videos after knowing you would be bedridden and NOT waiting for life to be in the best of times. I look forward to watching your journey. Thank you for sharing your positive energy and starting exactly “where you are”… nice reminder for all of us ❤ I love this community you’re creating. ❤ keep spreading gratitude and kindness.

I have Transverse Myelitis and I can still walk with aids. My pain is what really makes me struggle and I hate being on medications. Thank you for sharing your life on your channel.

Erin, YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL & HAVE A BEAUTIFUL HEART ❤! I want to thank you! I'm watching your videos for the first time today & I have felt so many different feelings! I am an internal med nurse, have patients & friends similar to you. I also have some personal limitations, but nothing like you. You are teaching & encouraging me so much on how to care for my patients & care for myself! THANK YOU ❤ ! YOU ARE WINNING & HELPING SO MANY! "THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! "

I wish you had your videos in a playlist so I can just watch them one after another. Your voice is so calming, you’re story telling is on point, and I just love hearing about you.

GOD Bless you Beautiful young lady. I'm going to be your #1 fan. You are amazing.

Erin I love spending time with you. Thank you

Hi Erin thank you for sharing your story. Your life. I am a disability support worker. You are teaching me thank you.

Watching you talk about the importance of physio with physical disability is motivating me to do my physio which I’ve put off for a few weeks due to pain and fatigue. I’m glad I found your channel, hope to see more of your videos!

Aaron, I first watched your other video on how you came to be in the situation. I have watch this video and I think both videos are so fascinating, interesting and educational. I’m so glad you decided to make these videos. I think you are a beautiful person. So talented and incredible educated amazing. For myself, I am a grandmother. I’ve been blind for 15 years. And fortunately for me there’s been so many advances in technology that life is much easier for blind people today than it used to be. Looking forward to your other videos. God bless you Aaron and see you in your next video…gg

I’ll be joining you ,You are such a beautiful person inside and out.🥰🇨🇦

I need my regular sleep too. I am so glad to find your channel. God bless you and your “Can Do”attitude. It is so refreshing and inspirational!

I’m humbled by your story. I live with chronic back pain (the result of 8 major back surgeries) and sometimes feel like I just can’t get through another day. I was just reading back in my journal at 2014 entry and I said, “I’m in so much pain, I keep hoping that I can learn how to deal with it better!” I laughed out loud and thought, “Vicki, it’s been 9 years and girl, you’re still not dealing any better with this pain!” I felt impressed today to watch your video about your accident. Like I said from the start….I am truly humbled by you and your ability to deal everyday with excruciating pain. You are one special person! Much Love to you my Friend❤️🌸r

Hello from South Dakota! I found you last week and I love your videos!!!!! So encouraging and eye opening ❤ please continue to upload! I check for a new upload everyday 🤣

Hi Erin Please take good care of you with these pressure sores In the past I was a cna I took care of a lot of people I grew to live and was so happy to be or ease I’m happy for your successes Just know you have another cheer leader here Rock on !!!

I'm abled body, and I came to your channel looking for inspiration. Life has surely handed you a lemon, but thank you for using it to make lemonade. Because of your decision to use your pain for good, myself and many others can enjoy your beautiful spirit and positive energy.

Good morning Eirin, Hampshire in England here to check-in to see you and your progress. You are a very inspirational young woman, having witnessed how a friend coped with her horse riding accident and paralysis with the physio and pain management the physical side seems logical but the pain side, not so much, at times. You are nailing it girl! Keep up the great work. You are so disciplined with you scheduling. Take care. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌞

Sweet Soul Eirin, I was so glad to see that you've released another video... and that you are planning a library of videos. Truly a labor of love and a blessing for those with whom you will share your life experiences. You speak of many thoughtful, deep and positive things and I know that you will find a much larger audience. I wish for you quick healing and many beautiful days to come.

You have such a beautiful spirit. I enjoy hearing about your day to day activities. Keep pushing forward and know that you are in my prayers 🙏🏼🙏🏼

That's really nice your husband can be your carer too. My husband 6is disabiled and I can't be his paid carer because we are married. So we struggle with that as it would be easier if we could. I'm very encouraged by your videos, I just started watching but I wish you all the best from USA!

Hi Eirin, thank you for sharing your life and being so vulnerable. You have so much emotional intelligence and are a wonderful story teller and communicator. KZfaq is an amazing place in that it can provide connections like this that aren’t always accessible. Thanks for sharing your story and thoughts.

Eirin I am an occupational therapist I work with ppl in outpatient therapy who have had any number of injuries it’s my favorite thing that I get to do. Thank you for sharing your life

I find your Life in the Day video inspiring. I have an autoimmune disease that cause me a lot of pain, and weakness, and some days fatigued to the pointing feels like my body is shutting down, and every day can be a struggle, so I can. Not even imagine your struggles. Like you I am sensitive and am an empath, so we have that in common. Even though our struggles look different, they are similar in how it makes our days unpredictable, and hard to make plans, I have lost friends over the years, but like you have a very supportive husband. I do not think it is a coincidence I found your videos, as I have been struggling mentally, and find you inspiring and was praying for the Lord to lift me up, as I felt a bout of depression coming on, you were the answer. Love and Light. 🙏✨❤️

Hi Eirin,. My name is Diane and I live in Kentucky in the states. (I'm also a 5ft 10 redhead like you!) The Lord brought your channel to me last night, and I am very grateful...to Him and to You. I have subscribed and liked every video, and will tell my friends about you. You are so beautiful! Your English is flawless! You will hit 100K subscribers in no time because of your intelligence and positivity. 💛

Hey Eirin. I just started watching your videos. You are a true inspiration for so many people who are going through similar things like you. I have a mental health illness and you are so encouraging for me. Thank you. ❤️❤️😁

You are such an amazing, insightful and beautiful Being. I happened upon your channel. You are a bright Light in this world, and your authenticity is extraordinarily inspiring! Thank you for sharing your story, and your remarkable journey! ❤

Hi Eirin. 👋 I’m new to your channel. I am devouring your videos. Thank you for being so raw and honest. I am also disabled but mine is not obvious. You are very inspiring and encouraging. I hope you know that. God bless you.

I love hearing about your life. You have a beautiful speaking voice.

I really enjoy your videos. I look forward to learn your daily activities

I got your video in my recommends, I have been a Caregiver to my Son all his life, he is 26 now, he has Tracheostomy, and G-Tube fed plus , he can't speak, I am so glad to have watched your video, I was very touched !

hi, i just came across your videos and i love your energy! really, you give me joy. Specially for people that suffers from any kind of physical pain and tries to cope the best they can with their day to day (like myself). Thank you so much !!

Thank you for sharing your story and the honesty of the struggles you’ve gone through emotionally. It’s encouraged to me to get over myself and my negative feelings about aging. I’m embarrassed to even say that’s my issue. Compared to what you’re enduring it’s like I’m depressed over a hangnail. So thank you for helping me put things in perspective. I’m sure you’ve helped many make adjustments in their attitudes. It’s going to be encouraging watching you’re videos.🌷

I just watched one of your other post and glad to know you aren't going to lie down all the time. I feel like you are going to help a lot of people with disabilities be sure to donate time to our first responders and military members deal with the pain they go through after a injury they may have in the line of duty. You are a true blessing to anyone you can help. God Bless.

Wow, what a wonderful husband you have!! it literally brought tears to my eyes when you said that he quit his job and become your assistant! That’s complete dedication and pure love that not a lot of people ever find in life! You guys make it wonderful team!!

Dearest Eirin, I am so sorry for your accident. I too am an endurance swimmer. Your story of heroism brought me to tears. God has given you insight to give you strength. Your beauty and fortitude come through when you speak. May you continue to be strong. My sincerest prayers and hugs to you, your mother, grandmother and all your loving friends. You my dear are an inspiration to show that in the darkest of moments, there is always guiding light to show you the way. May God bless each day. I will keep you in my prayers! Barbara New Orleans, Louisiana USA

I want to tell say thank you for sharing your life with us ❤. One of your previous comments in another video I just watched really made me smile and do the old “heck yeah” and as a Director of Nursing…I will carry it with me as I hire care staff and manage current staff ❤️

Thank you for be such an inspiration ❤️

You are such a beautiful person inside and out 💕 you really are an inspiration to me. I'm losing my mobility due to diabetes and a back problem. You are so strong and amazing work your doing for yourself .

Hi Erin, I’m new to your channel. I so admire you. I watched the video of your story and it makes me admire you that much more. I’m looking forward to future videos. Thank You for sharing your life.🌸💗🌸💗

Hi Eirin from 🇨🇦! New sub...your video about how your accident happened, showed up on my feed! You are certainly a strong and incredible woman! Thank you for sharing! 💜

Hooray for routine!! I live the same life! I like challenging myself to see if I can do what needs to be done ahead of schedule! It’s those little achievements that may be a lil weird too, but help me feel good daily all thru the day!😊 but you are right about recharging! Down /all me time is so good for us! I’m so glad you have such awesome help and access to that help too! How wonderful! Especially from your sweet husband! Looking forward to more videos! Oh, before breakfast brusher too😉

Eirin, I don't know how I came across your channel, but I'm so glad that I did. I am working towards finishing my degree in Social Work, and I hope to be an advocate for people with disabilities. I feel that it's so important and that it could be easier for society to pretend that there is not a community of people like yourself that needs support. Sometimes it's hard to see people in situations that we would deem impossible to deal with. You have most definitely shown us that you are not only managing these difficulties, but you are LIVING YOUR LIFE! And your life is amazing and your life is worth so, so much. I hope you continue to make these videos because I'm sure there is many people out there struggling to see how they can live their life after such a traumatic accident. God bless you for all you're doing.

You have the best outlook on life. What an awesome husband. God bless you. ❤❤

Eirin, I can only concur with many of the others who have commented: You are an incredible inspiration. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Someone said you could be a life coach and I agree! I'm happy to have found your videos and wish you much success with them. I would also love to know how you met your husband! 😉

Your English is impeccable. The word you were searching for is sling. I wish you the very best in life. Take care of yourself.

Dear Eirine… I have just started watching your videos. I want you to know that I find you to be a true inspiration. And you are eloquent beyond words. I have been a caregiver for my parents (Mama passed from Alzheimer’s almost 3 years ago) for 6 years. Papa is now 94. I am also an empath. I refer to it as my chronic empathy. The first video I watched of yours, you referred to empaths… it really spoke to me. You have the ability to describe things so perfectly; you paint pictures with your words. I tell you this, because I can see myself (one day) becoming an assistant… Being someone’s hands and feet. I will continue to watch and learn from you. I thank you for taking the time, energy and heart to post these gems. Thank you. Kimberly (my friends call me Pearl)

Eirin, I love your name! You are so inspiring and I appreciate you telling your story. ❤❤❤
