The motto for the group is simple: “Navigating your new normal doesn’t have to be done alone.” She held her first meeting in January at the library in Frederick. Except for those who were there to support Sewell, no one else attended. “It was just me,” she says. At the next meeting in February, one person attended, not someone with an amputation, but a caregiver for a family member. Not long after the second meeting, Sewell received a telephone call from a woman who wanted to attend the support group. “She wasn’t an amputee,” Sewell says. “She had a spinal cord injury and she wanted some place to go.”
