wuthering

The feeling that follows the sudden obliteration of expectation. Typically occurs when you've received news that the life you expected to live in the future is no longer possible. It is a negative feeling when the change feels like a loss, not a gain. It could be caused by a permanent illness or loss of ability. It could be a drastic change in your circumstances, possessions, or expectation of safety. It can be personal or collective. A disorientation like being caught in a wuthering wind.

"From the moment I realised this paralysis was permanent, I've been overwhelmed with wuthering. Nothing is ever going to be the same again, and I still can't imagine my future."

Also, the time period where this feeling dominates. "Her whole family died in a car accident when she was eight, and so she entered a time of wuthering."
