Struggles - Looking Through the Eyes of the Chronically Ill

Do you know someone who battles with a chronic illness or condition?  For those of us in healthcare it's essential to look through their eyes to deliver the care they need...

Fear - they struggle with not knowing what will happen next...

Guilt - they struggle with being a burden on their family and those they love...

Frustration - they struggle with jumping through the hoops to get the care they need and deserve...

Courage - they struggle to continue pressing on each day to understand why their life has turned out this way...

Acceptance - they struggle with having to accept their lot in life, but by overcoming they become an inspiration to the rest of us...

To my beautiful wife and others struggling, you show us daily the image of strength... May we continue to find ways to be compassionate, empathetic, and meet the needs of the sick in our care...
