We all go through difficult periods at some point in our lives. While many recover quickly, some have a very long road ahead of them.<\/p>\n

In 2015, this 37-year-old mother of four, Riona Kelly, suffered not just one tragedy but two. While one hurt her physically the other caused mental agony.<\/p>\n

First, Riona suffered a stroke and was paralyzed from the waist down \u2013 but it wasn\u2019t the doctors\u2019 diagnosis that broke her completely\u2026<\/p>\n

Eight years ago, Riona Kelly suffered a devastating spinal stroke. The teacher and mother of four faced her most important challenge in life \u2013 doctors warned her and said she might never walk again.<\/p>\n

\u201dI\u2019d had a car accident 18 months previous and they said that could have caused problems in my spine,\u201d Riona told The Mirror in 2017.<\/p>\n

But the determined mother was motivated to return to work and turn her life around to be there for her kids. Sadly, she was abandoned by the man who was supposed to help her when she needed it the most. After just five days in the hospital, her husband of 14 years said he wanted a divorce.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Paralyzed and devastated, Riona lay in her hospital bed and wanted to give up. How would she raise her four children now that she could no longer care for herself?<\/p>\n

\u201dAfter my husband left me in hospital, my friend, Sarah, became my next of kin, it was her and the children that supported me during my recovery. Looking back I was miserable in my marriage, but we had built a life together and had responsibilities,\u201d Riona told The Mirror.<\/p>\n

However, her ex-husband Richard claims he wanted to separate the day before Riona had her stroke and became paralyzed from the neck down.The recovery process was a slow one, and although the doctors thought that Riona would regain movement in her legs, no one knew for sure.<\/p>\n

But despite being close to giving up several times, she continued to fight.<\/p>\n
