Everyone wants a healthy life,
devoid of defects, or diseases,
without the stress and worries,
of taking care of an ailing body.
For, it put us difficult situations,
not enjoying various pleasures,
burdened by the responsibility,
or fear, of worsening symptoms.
Personal care or nursing families,
relations suffers from these maladies,
affecting our emotional well-being,
spilling over to the social gatherings.
Most sicknesses are self limiting,
yet, chronic illnesses are debilitating,
sprouting fear and apprehensions,
causing sadness and depressions.
We may face various constraints,
frustrations arises from limitations,
gradually stealing peace of mind,
as we withdraw, living in isolation.
Even minor injuries leaves scar,
impacting heavily on self-image,
while disruptions of traditional roles,
lowers our confidence & self-esteem.
So, there's more, than individual loss,
that one deals, in the path of healing,
with anger, guilt, & shame of affliction,
consumes us and our surroundings.
