I have a question to ask everybody.
Have yall wondered what the effects of people who are sick with covid feel like being all alone has had on them?
Well I have.
Many of us feel sorry for the people who have lost loved ones to this frightening disease. A disease we have never dealt with and it seems our leaders don’t know much about it either. We all feel really bad, but has anyone ever thought about what they must be feeling like when they’re in the hospital and no one is able to come visit them or be with them.I know that has to take a toll on their well -being, in fact there are study’s and statistics show that people who are sick and alone heal slower and some even die. The reason this has hit me so hard, because I feel that some of the people who died from this dreadful disease and has succumb to it, because they feel like they are left alone to die.

Chadwick Boseman may have been fighting this cancer for years but whose to say that he couldn’t have fought it a little longer had he had somebody there with him. We will never know this now, but going forth we need to do something about this. We all feel bad that elderly people in nursing homes can’t see their loved ones and they are all alone, well just imagine somebody sick and scared that they gone die. Think about it when we are sick we want someone to take care of us. A sick child feels much better when their mother comforts them, feeds them, talk to them and when she rubs him down with Vicks vapor rub. I believe that it’s not just the healing vapors but the touch of someone who loves you. We all know men are the biggest babies when they get sick (we still love you) LOL, but we all know that they really enjoy that time of being pampered, fed, caressed, covered up, and just being the center of attention. I also think they love this because this is the one time they can feel vulnerable without feeling like they not being a strong man, that’s just my thinking (Sharon 101) I’m just sayin.

We got to do better. There has to be a solution besides letting them die alone. There has to be. We have all these doctors with these degrees and nobody has recognized that their patients are not only dying from sickness, but also dying from a lonely heart. I found there are plenty of facts, study’s, even statistics that say people heal and live longer when they have families, friends, around them. I know my title suggests that I don’t have much trust, respect, or regard for doctors, but I do because I know that most medical professionals are excellent, intelligent, and compassionate and they do their best to find the best procedure to help their patients and it’s not just their Hippocratic oath, they have to have some kind of compassion to work with sick people all day and I know this.
So yes I believe in them. I just think they have so much to deal with in terms of what their able to do legally and medically, especially with leaders who are determined to undermine them at every chance they get. The politics, finances, and hidden agendas get in the way of solutions for the doctors that want to connect and establish a truthful and honest communication with their patients, but sometimes are not able to do so adequately.
Here are some facts about the benefits of social support in the healing process verified by psychology today:
- It states that socializing has a lot of physical and mental benefits when it comes to your health.
- You live longer than those isolated when you have a support system, this is even true regarding your overall health.
- You will have a stronger immune system too, especially as you get older. You are better able to fight off colds and flu and even cancer.
- Your mental health also increases, which means you have less of a chance of getting depressed. It even lowers your chance of getting dementia.
So as you can see it is very important to surround yourself with people who are positive and love you and want to see you get better. I imagine if Chadwick Boseman and some of the other people who died from covid had visitors cheering them on, supporting them, making them laugh, loving on them, maybe they still would be alive, and we wouldn’t be closing in on 200,000 deaths from covid. Big mama, paw paw, Ti Ti, momma, daddy, brother and sister might still be here with us to celebrate the upcoming holidays.
We got to do better people of congress, senate, and the medical profession, to make sure that no one is left to die alone anymore, because you never know the next death just might be yours, all alone in a hospital bed, dying with nobody seeming to care, while politics dictates who can be with you or how you should die. ALL ALONE.
JUST IMAGINE!!!
