On Chronic Diseases
Sep. 26th, 2012 11:56 amDear friends of an online friend...
When I see variations of "feel better soon!" on the journal of someone who's just won the Arthritis Prize, I feel sad.
Okay, no, I feel irritation.
( ranty rant rant )
For someone with chronic illness, feel better is only, ever, a relative term.
And I feel sad seeing someone else discovering it.
And mad at myself for not knowing what words can comfort or help or cheer up somebody going through a bad spell.
