Living With a Chronic Condition.  Finding Closure… Maybe  

Coping with a medical diagnosis often means coping with loss.  The initial diagnosis presents a loss of what we thought the future would be like.  Other losses may follow, some related to the chronic condition.  What I have learned as a mental health professional over the years is that any kind of loss leads to a need to grieve.  Grief is a healthy reaction to loss.  I have also learned that grief is often accompanied by a need for closure. 

I spend a lot of time talking with clients about closure.  Check out my article: https://justgotdiagnosed.com/resources/living-with-a-chronic-condition-finding-closure-maybe/
