Fear and depression are a part of life. In illness there are no ‘negative emotions,’ only experiences that have to be lived through. What is needed in these moments is not denial but recognition. The ill person’s suffering should be affirmed, whether or not it can be treated. What I wanted when I was most ill was the response, “Yes, we see your pain; we accept your fear.”
