Terminal Illness

Emotional Pain

Moments of bleakness exist both with the patient and with his caretaker, so it is important to take conscience of the developments that are happening in the evolution of the illness, as of the attitude of the patient and of his emotional state, because all of them could cause emotional pain.

The person that takes care of and helps the patient must share this emotional pain with the patient and show an attitude of solidarity and complicity, showing a behaviour of love and comprehension.

The means of distraction already mentioned in the chapter about physical pain can help also in these moments of emotional pain, especially when they are shared by the dear persons of his/her environment.

Of the same way, we must prepare ourselves and be alert, being creative. We all can find the way and work on realizing a dream to our dear beings. There are for example cases in which the patient wants to look for a way to escape to his/her emotional pain. In this search he/she asks to be taken to places of remembrances, maybe to the countryside, to the sea, or perhaps to visit a friend during infancy. If we have the possibility of fulfilling his/her dream, to move away from the daily activity or monotony, it is an excellent therapy to diminish or at least to distract temporarily from the emotional pain. To shut ourselves up, to limit ourselves, we would only manage to provoke pictures of bitterness and the pain would increase considerably, in both parts.

One of the forms, although it may sound somehow strange, is to accompany at all times to our dear being. This helps us to understand more the reality of his/her pain and consequently the compassion wakes up in our soul and we will comprise more closely the meaning of the separation of our soul of the aching body, what commonly we call the death.

In these cases of a body that suffers emotional and physical pains, the fear of the physical death makes us forget that we all happen for this experience of dividing to other dimensions of spiritual evolution.

Having the possibility of confronting situations seemingly so painful, we can ponder and reflect on our existence on this Earth and the step to the spiritual elevation. Every act in our life is and must be an Act of Love to understand the real meaning of the physical death, like a way of spiritual elevation of learning. This is the motive for which we are on Earth!

Taking conscience of this so sublime act and considering it as a route of love and light helps our next ones through our personal experiences to overcome the fears of the unknown (Actually think about writing down your experiences! It will help you and others!). We must remember and recover in our memory this fact of which the soul inside us accumulates experiences – it evolves – while we as human beings think to fight against the daily challenges. We must go out of this our inadvertent existence, taking a step forward to re-discover the marvels of life and our spiritual being and the infinite capacity that it possesses for the recovery of health; this is such a powerful force.

Chris Cade found out that writing brought him the possibility not only to overcome blockades and inner sufferings, but also to influence his life in all facets, creating through writing his new life story and thus change his life and happiness. Based on these experiences he designed the program to teach people to become a writer, without fear, limits and even efforts. His program Inscribe Your Life not only became the orientation for everybody interested in learning to write the easy way but also a place for interchange of experiences in this process and spiritual growth. Don´t miss this wonderful manual for your own new life experience!

Both the physical pain and the disorders or emotional pains are a part of our learning in this Earth. Obviously, this does not necessarily mean (and don’t believe it ..) that you are alone and without tools to overcome any situation in your life and there is no way to solve what worries you spiritually!

Thanks to the fact that for thousands of years the wise persons, teachers of different places, left their legacies so that we all got access to millennial therapies of spiritual and personal development with meditation, yoga, Reiki, medicines or natural and ancestral remedies, etc., that can all help in reducing or distract from the emotional pain of an ill person.
