Friendships & illness: Which ones last, and which ones fade?

Hi everyone, how are you doing today? 😊

A chronic illness doesn’t just affect health, it can also impact friendships. Some friends may distance themselves, struggling to understand what you’re going through, while others step up and become an incredible source of support.

❓ Have you lost friendships because of your illness?

❓ On the other hand, have you been surprised by the unexpected support of someone?

❓ In your opinion, what qualities are essential for a friendship to withstand the challenges of illness?
