I truly thought that I was in the process of dying. I now know that almost everyone who has been diagnosed with chronic illness goes through nine stages of acceptance or denial, action or inaction, related to the illness. You must deal with each stage individually, as each is the lead-in to the next stage toward acceptance. None can be skipped if the healing process is to build a foundation of strength. Finally you will choose life over death.
Education is the key to survival.
Learn everything there is to know about COPD and associated illnesses so you can move toward peace, and a quality of life that can be sustained. This will let you manage the illness, rather than it managing you. Inc. All rights reserved.
