If you have gone through life so far without facing the hospital then you're in excellent shape. This is where you take a moment and hashtag BLESSED.You look around and sometimes all you can see is cancer, hair loss,all kinds of diseases and the list goes on. I want you to know that these people who face any life-changing situations are incredibly positive, kind, and strong. These people usually ask " what am I supposed to learn from this?"in these circumstances and not " why is this happening to me?" However asking both questions is normal but the first one is more common after a couple of months of realizing the crappy card you're dealt.
You see two types of sick people. People who face their fears, sickness, and sorrows and move on to more special things in life like a career, kids, getting married. Then you have people who want to be grieved and there is nothing wrong with that. It's just dealt with differently. Ask these people if they're okay emotionally because that question doesn't get asked as much as it should. The physical pain varies from day to day but the emotional scars run deeper. Anyone, sick/hurting or not could use that question instead of hearing are you okay.
Remember it is easy to stick by someone when they're happy and nice and beautiful but when they get fat/chubby,looks change,energy withers, and just sick looking, the people who sit next to you are the ones you want to keep around day in and out.
REMEMBER: It WILL get better and it WILL make you stronger. You might be saying this is way easier said then done. You're 100% right about that but maybe you can help someone else understand how disheartening facing a health issue can be and how emotionally draining it can feel.
