It might be hard for some people to understand this, but when I realized I might never play again it felt like a part of my soul was ripped away from the whole.

That's normal. A few years back, I was a pianist and had just finished getting my music degree. Thanks to the onset of fibromyalgia, I lost that (and ended up disabled). It really *does* feel like part of your soul has been ripped out... among other things.
Every so often, I'll go through the self-pity stage but it doesn't happen as often as it did. I've finally realized that shit happens and you have to push through it with a positive attitude. Hopefully, you learn something from it and become a better person. Certainly better than turning bitter and mean.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
