The day my fiancé fell to his death, it started to snow, just like any November day, just like the bottom hadn't fallen out of my world when he freefell off the roof. His body, when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it pile up.

One morning, I shuffled downstairs and was startled to see a snowplow clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling my walk. I dropped to my knees, crawled through the living room, and back upstairs so those good Samaritans would not see me. I was mortified. My first thought was, how would I ever repay them? I didn't have the strength to brush my hair let alone shovel someone's walk.

Before Jon's death, I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors. I defined myself by my competence and independence. So who was I if I was no longer capable and busy? How could I respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch everyday and watch the snow fall?

在乔恩死之前，我以我几乎不用得到帮助或关爱而感到自豪。我自认为就是个有能力并且非常独立的人。所以，如果我不再有能力了，不再忙碌了，我还是我吗？如果我所能做的只是每天坐在沙发上看下雪，我该如何能尊重我自己呢？

在乔恩去世以前，我一直觉得自己是一个很有能力、很独立的人，而且我常常以自己几乎不用寻求别人的帮助而感到自豪。但是如果我没有能力和不再忙碌了，那我将会变成什么样子？如果我就这么一直坐在沙发上看着雪花慢慢落下，我又将如何面对自己？

乔恩走之前，我很少向他人寻求帮助或施舍，对此我引以为豪。我曾经是个有能力、坚强独立的人。如果我不再忙碌于事业，不再是有能力的女性，那我会是怎样呢？我怎能忍受自己成天坐在长椅上看着雪景发呆？

在乔恩去世以前，我很少向他人寻求帮助或施舍，我为此而自豪。我自认为是一个有能力、很独立的人。但如果一旦我不再有能力也不忙碌了，那我又是什么样呢？如果我就这么一直坐在沙发上每天看着落雪，我又将如何面对自己？

在Jon去世之前，我一直以自己从不求人为骄傲，并自我标榜为是有竞争性和独立性的。所以，如果我不再是那么能干而充实忙碌的话，那我变成什么样的人？如果我每天无所事事，只是坐在沙发上看着飘雪，我又怎么再去尊重我自己？

这一段字面上的翻译是这样的,但故事的前两段显示作者似乎是个残疾人.
