When Life Doesn't Meet Your Expectations: Chronic Illness Changed the Plans

from Empowerment In Illness · host Gwen Pike

In this episode, we talk about the grief that comes when life doesn’t meet your expectations and chronic illness changes the plans you once had for yourself. We unpack the pain of unmet timelines, comparison, and learning how to make peace with a life that looks different than the one you imagined. We also remind ourselves that sometimes chronic illness changes the timeline, but it doesn’t have to erase the dream.
