A woman living with multiple sclerosis (MS) has shared how she has found joy through pottery.
Sarah Reeve, from Tunbridge Wells in Kent, said she did not experience any severe MS symptoms until her early 40s.
Prior to her diagnosis, she had a long career as a pricing analyst for insurance companies and had travelled the world.
The 58-year-old said even though MS has changed her and is a life-limiting condition, she believed in "living the best life she could".
Ms Reeve said she adopted this mindset while receiving support at Hospice in the Weald in Pembury.
She participates in the hospice's Living Well Centre's arts and crafts activities and it was during these sessions she discovered her love for pottery.
"I used to just watch what people did because I don't have great use of my hands," she said.
"But the teacher Emma asked me to describe my vision of what I want the clay to be and explained that one of the pupils will create it for me."
Ms Reeve said she found the experience to be "therapeutic, enlightening and enabling".
"Just because you can't physically create what you have in mind, it doesn't mean you can't describe this to somebody else, and they help you bring it into reality," she said.
"The hospice has changed my life. I now focus on what I can do, not what I can't do."
Ms Reeve said after meeting many patients at the hospice, she gained a broader perspective in life.
"I feel you have a choice. I am in a wheelchair and that limits my mobility, but it doesn't limit me,"
Ms Reeves continues enjoying music, psychological thrillers and museum visits.
Hospice in the Weald in Pembury is currently undergoing a major refurbishment, and Ms Reeve is helping with its transformation.
She said this is her way to thank the hospice and to ensure current and future patients could receive the best possible support.
She advocated creating a more homely and tranquil environment in the Living Well and all rooms in the hospice to be accessible.
The hospice said Ms Reeves', along with other patients' ideas, have been included in the revamp including a fireplace, panelling, surrounding seating and all rooms to have a more "cosy feel".
Ms Reeves said: "Hospice care is about living your best life, whatever your personal circumstances."
"For me, it's about living the best life that you can and these new plans embrace that."
