Glad that you can connect with my experience. As i am growing older, there is a fact that has enlightened my soul : You need to feel some things to be able to understand them.
Being sick is one of those feelings.
My mother is a person who has fought many big diseases, While taking care of here I just used to blabber "you will be fine dont worry"
But when I got sick and I was in pain, I literally started wishing death on me. I could not take the pain and thought I better die, my perfect body is gone. I could not feel my lungs and felt that I am gonna feel them again.
All this made me realised, its easy to say "you will be fine to a sick person", but the feel is altogether different.
You are so right about that, @vibesforlife. It is impossible for a healthy person to understand someone who is sick - especially with something chronic. Support groups save me often so that I can connect with people who understand.
Yeah that is so true,
sometimes people can only understand after they have sufferred themselves.
