In Their Shoes


Most of what I’ve experienced is for the benefit of others. I’ve reflected on my current pain and quest to find what’s wrong. I have walked in the shoes of those who believe they have a terminal illness, and I understand that they constantly grapple with complex symptoms.


The long wait for my diagnosis is challenging. Other doctors seemed they didn’t care or care enough to help—the list goes on. At least I have drugs to relieve my pain. 


The bottom line is compassion. When a person is facing illness, show empathy. We have no idea what they’re going through until we’ve walked in their shoes.


U Can you show compassion for those with an illness, disability, or disease?  U 

U Have you wondered what it’s like to walk in their shoes? (We should be thankful for the little things.) U
