When someone you love has chronic illness.

Enjoyed this episode? Send Kerry a textOne of biggest emotional challenges of living with chronic illness is the impacts it can have on your relationships with others. So many of us living with chronic illness often feel that the people closest to us either don't understand, believe or support what we are going through and how much it has changes our lives and bodies. Friends can start to fall away, partners can struggle to adapt or know what to do and this only increases feelings of isolation and loneliness because the realities of ongoing, often progressive chronic illness is so rarely talked about or understood. Partners, friends and family can also feel helpless, lost and overwhelmed, not knowing what to do and feeling unsupported themselves. Like any major life challenge, the experience of chronic illness can bring us closer together or drive us even further apart.In this podcast, I share practical ways that you can offer help and support and gain some understanding of the issues they are facing if someone you love has chronic illness. Kerry Jeffery is an award winning Coach and Counsellor who specialises in helping clients online around the world with the emotional issues of living with chronic illness and the impacts it has on their lives and relationships.
