Overcome Suffering & Always See The Positive In Life – The Emily Dahl Foundation

Overcome Suffering & Always See The Positive In Life

Pictured here is Sid Bellamy and his family.  

Sid is a proud supporter of The Emily Dahl Foundation. 

Sid has his own incredible life story of overcoming suffering and always seeing the positive in life.  He is an inspiration to all of us at The Emily Dahl Foundation. 

Sid was born with both a clef palate and a clef lip and has endured over fifty surgeries since 1948.  

He always has a big bright smile for everyone that he meets. His energy is amazing. 

Sid teaches us all that we should not be afraid of our suffering. We should be afraid of only one thing, and that is not knowing how to deal with our suffering.  Sid has turned handling suffering into an art.  By doing this he knows how to suffer and is not overwhelmed by the suffering inside. 

The mystic Thich Naht Hanh once said: “If you can recognize and accept your pain without running away from it, you will discover that although pain is there, joy can also be there at the same time.” 

Sid is a real-life example of this. He is living a wonderful life and has the joy of his family all around him and continues on with the surgeries as well.
