It's not arrogance or denial, it's survival!! The ability to stay positive through this journey plays a huge part in your healing process. Life changes through this but it also goes on AND goes back to normal, and normal is what you want!! You need to handle this whatever way you want and whatever helps you get through this the best way possible.
Good luck, I wish you the very best for what's to come. It is a journey you will never forget but you will come out of it a much stronger person.
