When your health changes, you are not only coping with symptoms—you may also be grieving. You may grieve the energy you once had, the plans you had to change, the independence you lost, or the version of yourself you remember. That grief can bring sadness, anger, fear, frustration, and even guilt. These emotions mean you have experienced a real loss. Healing begins by recognizing that your emotional health and physical health are deeply connected. Your body does not need your criticism for struggling. It needs your patience, compassion, nourishment, rest, and support. You are still worthy of care—even when your body cannot do what it once did.
