Answer preview
Individuals with chronic illnesses often focus on the losses they experience due to their conditions (Bertrand, 2021). They believe their conditions only bring adversities and never entertain that positives can emerge from their adverse conditions. However, individuals with chronic illnesses can overcome the challenges with minimal distress and the requisite social support and care (Brannon et al., 2018). One crucial positive aspect of chronic illness is growth, which allows individuals to face, adjust to, and overcome their losses. It is essential to consider the negative emotions associated with feelings of loss and grief as normality in dealing with chronic illness (Brannon et al., 2018). Resolving these feelings may be long, but it offers opportunities for positive change.
