A friend whom journeyed through CIRS herself once told me while I still was in the midst of struggling to live day by day with CIRS, “You will be recovered, just hang in there. In 3 months, you will be near healed. Hold on.” Her profound words kept me going…
I look back on things, which helped our family heal and endure the hard times. Kids were a big help. Even sick kids have moments of laughter and smiles. On the days we felt decent, we ventured out to parks or activities and made happy memories. We have lots of fun photos and smiles even during the hard times.
Listening to uplifting music and singing all together as a family can lift the spirits and heal the soul. I sang the same songs over and over during different stages in healing. It made all the difference. I would suggest The Beach Boys and Bebo Norman’s CD Ocean.
Getting out in nature whether hiking, fishing, camping, or swimming is the best medicine to heal our body and soul. The fresh air makes one feel alive again!
We told friends and family to pray for us when we had no energy to pray ourselves. We saw miracles in our healing as people prayed. It kept us going…We see now how God provided for us even in the desert times; he gave us what we needed. Friends to listen and a supportive church to walk along side us made all the difference.
