Memories induce a peculiar phenomena; by expunging them, we can perhaps sidestep sadness and loss. With them, we are left with a lasting image of who we were, who we are, and who we have become, with a hope for recovery when we have lost our “place in society”.
Illness and disability often perverts our memories; the suffering person will often have a misplaced and skewed memory of the person he or she once was.
For the Federal employee or Postal Worker who is experiencing and undergoing the trauma of a disabling medical condition, such that the medical condition impacts one’s ability to perform all of the essential elements of one’s job, it is often the pervasive memory of a time past, which continues to impede a necessary present course of action. But before one gets to a critical point of crisis management, it is important to engage a realistic assessment of one’s present circumstances, and determine one’s future course of actions, and not be diverted by the memories of one’s past glory days.
OPM Disability Retirement is a benefit accorded to all Federal Government employees and U.S. Postal Service workers who have the minimum eligibility criteria met (18 months for those under FERS; 5 years for those under CSRS), and should be looked upon as part of one’s total employment benefits, to be utilized when needed.
It is a medical disability benefit which must be ultimately submitted to, and approved by, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
Consider the future; let not memories of past days confound the need to take direct and proper actions today; for, in the end, there will time to reflect and remember in future days to come.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill, Esquire
