Living with illness is tough.
It’s not just about physical health and clinical care.
It’s about emotional health too.
The emotional turmoil and impact are mostly overlooked – not seen – not shared – not heard.
The emotional impact of illness can be huge.
The emotional turmoil and impact are mostly overlooked – not seen – not shared – not heard
Medical diagnoses frighten us; pain frightens and distresses us.
Deeply saddened, we grieve the loss of our hopes and dreams, our way of life.
The emotional turmoil and impact are mostly overlooked – not seen – not shared – not heard.
Illness shapes our lives; we can’t control it – so we get angry.
We feel guilt that we have let our family and friends down, created a burden.
The emotional turmoil and impact are mostly overlooked – not seen – not shared – not heard.
Expressing our emotions related to physical illness is very important
Expressing our emotions is a key component of emotional health.
Academic research demonstrates that expressing emotions related to physical illness can lead to:
- A more fulfilling life
- Better psychological well-being
even when we are facing chronic or life-limiting conditions.
This is why Daring to Dream makes #spacestotalk.
