With my background in internal medicine, I have over 15 years of experience in taking care of patients with chronic illness. Living with a chronic illness can bring feelings of grief due to loss of health, fear for the future, anger about circumstances, as well as difficulties in coming to terms with needing help and support from others when the ability to take care of oneself has diminished.
