HOW TO SUPPORT A LOVED ONE DIAGNOSED WITH A CHRONIC ILLNESS

HOW TO SUPPORT A LOVED ONE DIAGNOSED WITH A CHRONIC ILLNESS

What would you do if your body turned against you overnight?

In 2022, my life changed in ways I could never have imagined. I was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome and Lupus—a double whammy that forced me to redefine how I live, work, and love.

One thing stood out during my journey: there’s so little practical guidance on how to support loved ones battling chronic illnesses. Navigating this can feel isolating—for the person experiencing it and for those around them.

I’m sharing this because I hope it reaches anyone who needs a reminder: you’re not alone, and support is everything. If this resonates or helps even one person, it’s worth it.
