When you or someone close to you suffered a serious illness.
Regardless of the severity of the disease, the message of the disease often means that one needs to deal with the feeling of mortality. Even milder conditions can arouse such feelings. Going from healthy to sick can make the ground beneath us swing a beat. This is true even when it affects someone close to us.
Illness reports often raise concerns and thoughts about what it might mean for you. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming.
Most of us will have an illness that changes our lives in one way or another.
Sometimes you feel that something is not right. Sometimes the message comes like a flash from a clear sky.
Being present can be challenging and often involves a feeling of powerlessness and worry. Some may experience a frustration that the sick person does not take their illness seriously.
Or being completely excluded. Others may feel that they are getting closer to each other.
Suddenly, you prioritize what is important to you and focus less on irritations and conflicts you had in the past.
