I have seen and worked with many difficult illnesses and cases of which many have considered terminal and critical. The patients are not only exposed to physical suffering or discomfort of the body, but their emotions and mental attitude are really down too...
Patients especially when told that their cases are critical or deteriorating, they are stressed and moody. Some gave up hope, some faced them brave, some never gave up.... If you tell them to be smiling and feeling happy, we are asking them for a task.
A patient who have suffered and being sentenced to critical illnesses for a long period of time needs to be treated from 4 different categories. We have body, mind, emotions and a soul, thus we need to look at them from all 4 different dimensions... holistic approach to get the best results..
We need doctors, we need friends, we need someone to de-stress and sooth our emotions, we need a spiritual guide... thus feeding and treating all 4 dimensions of health..
