HEALTH

Health challenges bring a lot with them; financial concerns, relationship problems, a loss of self-identity, depression and often, anxiety.

 

Sometimes, when someone is experiencing a serious dis-ease, friends and loved ones don't know what to say. This in itself can be isolating and disappointing, creating another level of stress to their health challenge.

 

When Caragh was going through her health challenge, she was interested in a doctor's account of a medical study which proved that people who had a good support system in place, and felt loved and cherished by their loved ones had greater rates of recovery, healing and spontaneous remissions.

 

If your friend is experiencing something that they are recovering from, a message of goodness a day will not only brighten their day, but according to that study, could contribute to their healing.

 

If their condition is more chronic, its likely that it also impacts their day-to-day experience. What better a way to lift their spirits, than to share messages of love and encouragement each day.

 

Perhaps you have learned that your friend is experiencing something serious. If this is the case, it is likely that fear is playing a big part in their experience at the moment. Caragh credits the notes that Pier sent her with playing a key role in helping her shift past her fear and anxiety and begin to focus on the possibility of her body's healing.

 

If your loved one has experienced a lot of trauma, dis-ease or negative self-talk in their life, it can be a difficult to quieten the fear. Fear is an understandable and often under estimated part of facing any health challenge.

 

Perhaps you are feeling apprehensive about what to say to your friend. You don't know want to say the wrong thing but you know you need to step up as a friend and be there.

 

Perhaps you are already there, but you would like to real delve deeper and offer your friend another level of friendship in their hour of need.

 

Or maybe, like Pier, you are far away and geographically unable to be their in person.

 

Either way, SendSoul was created in this spirit and we are ultimately passionate about this purpose. Choose one month, three months or six months depending upon how long you think it will be beneficial for your friend. If they are embarking on an intensive treatment or recovery period, we would suggest covering that time if at a
