Illness in a family… that’s hard.
When one of your family members is diagnosed with a
disease and the doctors tell you that nothing can be done, just wait for the
worst scenario to happen. Death is a horrible feeling. I know this from
experience, there wasn’t hope for my grandfather, my family and I watched him slowly
getting worse laying on a bed. We could only hold his hand, standing by his
side and having a conversation when his condition was not too bad.
I remembered that my uncle didn´t like to see my
grandfather in that condition, he never said it that before, but I knew it,
because I felt the same. At least we had the chance to said goodbye, not like
other people.
The impact of this generated an unbalance in the family.
the unity in the family must be present at this time because one of the most affected
areas when someone get through this is mental health, which is also the most
ignored area in this country.
The psychical condition influences in our body and the
way that we deal with life. Maybe you’re a very healthy person who eats well
and do exercise, but that doesn’t mean that you can´t suffer from a mental disease.
Is no a secret that Chile has just realized of its
importance with the pandemic. And for this reason, it is crucial for us talk
about this topic and start to take care of our mental health.
Thanks for reading 😊
I like the idea you raised about the importance of mental health. if things were already complicated, under these circumstances...
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, the mental disease is a topic that could take more importance in our lifes, when you feel bad and it´s difficult to share with others, the fisical problems star to show, nice blog.
