Scenario

When invisible illness creates grief for your former self

My chronic illness developed slowly over five years and I keep grieving my old energy levels and spontaneity, but people can't see anything wrong with me so they don't understand the loss.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Chronic illness can steal vitality and possibility gradually, creating ongoing grief for capacities that others never witnessed being lost.
