As a child and as an adult, I suffered my fair share of illnesses over the holidays. Let me offer this advice to you- if you or a loved one is facing illness during a family celebration or holiday–it is not the end of the world but it does put a damper on the family festivities. All I can say is, make the best of the situation. When I was in the hospital, the staff managed to make me part of the celebration of whatever holiday it was and family members were able to visit and still had time to do “family things”. You can bring the BBQ to the patient, or maybe present or a craft to do, but whatever you decide, know that your effort is very much appreciated. Do any of you have experience with celebrations or holidays spent with a loved one who was ill? Share your story and ideas with us!
