Folks think that when someone is chronically ill, support is provided based on severity of condition
That if you get worse & can’t care for yourself help will magically appear
It doesn’t. Unless you’re wealthy or have family, you’re on your own
Many die or become more disabled due to lack of help
Absolutely. I was fortunate to grow up in a family that had a severely disabled uncle who was much beloved. We learned that you look after each other. We’re now 3 generations into doing that.
