On the last day of May, and in this COVID-19 era, I wrote something to shed some light upon another growing threat humanity faces - one I am facing personally. Please feel free to share, comment or not 💚✌🏻

Grieving lost time is a painful yet important element of chronic illness that we should all be aware of. In order to move through grief, we must first acknowledge it.

Maintaining strong social connections can be difficult when you have a chronic illness. But doing so is vital for mind, body and spirit.

There have been lessons in my pain that no other experience in life could’ve taught me – and a level of personal growth that could only have been cultivated during times of total despair and devastation.

Illness - whether physical or mental - can be a very lonely and isolating place. How can we avoid further suffering when the dynamics of our friendships change?

Of all the things we could potentially lose to chronic illness, what happens when it's our very sense of self? How do we bring ourselves back from the abyss of human identity and redefine our purpose?
