Living with progressive illness is not just a physical journey; it’s an emotional one marked by resilience, vulnerability, and courage. For patients and families, each diagnosis, remission, and relapse becomes a chapter in a much longer story of hope, loss, and endurance. Yet too often, the emotional toll remains invisible, with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) quietly taking root. True care means seeing the whole person and their family members, not just the illness, offering support from the first diagnosis, through every uncertainty, every victory, and every setback. It means building systems of care that heal both the body and the spirit. At the heart of progressive illness is a profound need: to be seen, heard, and supported, not only at the end, but every step of the way.
