Hello! Can anybody tell me what it takes to cope with a cronic disease in a family?
Hi there! This is a very complicated story actually. If somebody in your family is diagnosed with any of the chronic illnesses, this is going to have an affect on the whole family, your social life, emotional stability, financial resources, and physical health. Coping with a long-term illness is a long procedure and it asks for devotion and understanding. It is important that you gain as much information as possible about the disease, that way you will be more in control. Communication and understanding in the family is also very important. No matter how much attention you are giving to a person affected, you need to keep your own activities as well. Don’t forget that coping with chronic disease needs a lot of time, persistence, control and learning.
