Rethinking Possible: A Memoir of Resilience [9781631522208]

Overview

Rebecca Galli grew up believing in the power of having a plan. Raised in a loving southern family by a deep-thinking pastor father and an ever-positive, devoted mother, she imagined a future shaped by faith, family, hard work, and stability. But when her seventeen-year-old brother was killed in a waterskiing accident, the carefully ordered world she trusted began to unravel.

Over the years, Becky faced one devastating challenge after another: her son’s degenerative disease and death, her daughter’s autism diagnosis, separation from her husband, and finally, just nine days after her divorce was finalized, the onset of transverse myelitis, a rare inflammation of the spinal cord that left her paralyzed from the waist down.

Yet Rethinking Possible is not simply a memoir about tragedy.

With warmth, humor, honesty, and unwavering faith, Becky shares what it means to keep loving, adapting, and living fully even after life no longer resembles the future you once imagined. As a disabled parent raising two children with disabilities while navigating profound grief and physical loss, she discovered that meaning and possibility can still exist within ever-changing limits.

At its heart, Rethinking Possible is a story about the power of love over loss—and the choices we make when life veers far from our plans. For anyone navigating heartbreak, caregiving, chronic illness, disability, grief, or unexpected change, this memoir offers something rare: grounded hope that does not deny pain, but refuses to be defined by it.
