When Illness Drains Families: My Heartfelt Wish for a Cure

You know, I read through the topic description of this week's prompt about diseases in our world today, and it asked which of the diseases I would love to create a cure for if I had the power. The truth is that the kind of sickness my son has suffered since six years ago takes me in and out of different hospitals every now and then, and in the process, my eyes have seen lots of terrible diseases humans are going through.

It's energy draining and emotionally draining; most families are hopeless and helpless. In fact, a visit to some units in the hospital will leave you in tears. Even the ones with a cure leave patients in a terrifying condition and make their lives miserable and the lives of their loved ones. If you ask me for which of the many diseases I should create a cure, I will tell you all. Ibb and I definitely had the same viewpoint on this subject, and I guess it's coming from a heart of compassion.


There are many diseases around the world, and permit me to say that it's quite difficult to focus on just one. Living with any kind of disease, both curable and incurable ones, is not easy. Too bad for us and our families. To some families, health issues returned them back to poverty; even the so-called curable diseases, and yet, they spent years in the hospital without any tangible improvement, and in the same way, their energy, resources, and time are burnt over there.

Personally, I feel that seizures are curable, but this particular illness has been a thorn in my family's flesh, draining our resources over many medical procedures for many years. Yet, when you feel it's getting better, it will spike like it just started. I have no peace; my movement is sometimes restricted; huge money is going out on medicals steadily, money that I am supposed to use to live healthy and even achieve many things. The same thing is applicable to many other families going through one health challenge and another. If wishes were to be horses, then I would wish that all kinds of sickness be wiped away in our world.

A gift of good health is the greatest gift to humankind; with it, people can really focus on what they want to achieve without sickness dragging them around and turning their lives upside down.

A good health is an underrated blessing until you visit the hospital, one time I was admitted after I was bitten by a snake, what my eyes saw my mouth cannot speak of.

Truly, only those who have been in and out of hospitals can give first account of what disease and illnesses are doing to people. I have seen people who used to live a comfortable and wealthy life get drained by paying medical bills. When we say health is wealth, most people don't know how deep this statement is till they find themselves in unexpected situation.

I wish there were not disease in this world but I know that it's not possible and that's why we should try our best to eat healthy food and do healthy practice that can protect us from illness.

Sickness has so much impact on every aspect of life. Good health is the true gold many people don't realize until they see others without it.

Hmmm, my mouth is heavy and cannot speak because this is true. Nothing like good health ooo.

A lot of people are begging for good health even for one day but sadly they cannot have it.
