Patients for a Moment: the question for next week.
Wednesday, March 3 2010
I am hosting next week’s edition of Patients for a Moment. My question is somewhat related to Leslie’s from the last edition:
Who would you be without your illness?
There’s a lot of emphasis in our community about staying positive, looking towards the future, optimism, et cetera – all of which has merit. But too much deliberate cheeriness denies us the ability to think and talk about what we’ve lost to our illnesses. We lose our ability to grieve for the person we wished to be, which seems to me an important part of adjusting to our circumstances. So the topic this time is that person, and how they would better, worse, or simply different than the person you are now?

And I’m still looking for future hosts. Let me know if you are interested.
