Watching someone you love struggle with chronic pain is difficult, especially when you’re not sure how to help them. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to ensure their comfort is improved and their pain is managed. Continue reading for tips on how you can help your parents, including some ideas for gifts for chronic pain sufferers.
Listen to them
The first thing you can do for a parent struggling with chronic pain is to listen to them. Let them know that you’re there for them and will sit and listen to their worries and frustrations.
By taking this time with your loved one, you can learn more about their condition, what could trigger certain symptoms, and how you could help when they’re having tough days.
If one, or both, of your parents are struggling and you take this precious time with them to understand what they’re going through, they know that you can be relied upon if they ever need anything because you understand the situation they’re in.
Speak to family
As long as your parents are comfortable with you doing so, you should sit down and have a frank conversation with any siblings and family members about their condition. This way you can inform them clearly of any issues they’re facing that your extended family may not have been fully aware of.
This helps everyone else to deal with their condition better, and have more of an understanding of their limitations because of the chronic pain.
It can be extremely difficult to see a parent in pain, but if more of the family are aware of the situation, everyone can be a little more sympathetic to their needs.
Understand and include
Now that everyone is aware of the situation, and the chronic pain that your parents are struggling with, you can plan accordingly to spend time together. When planning days together, be understanding of the suffering they’ve been going through and, if they have to cancel last minute because of pain issues, be sympathetic.
Also, do not leave them out of events you’re planning because you think they may not be comfortable. You’re better off including them and letting them decide whether or not they can make it.
Unfortunately, sufferers of chronic conditions can often be ignored when talking about the pain they’re in. Some people do not believe in the full extent of an individual’s struggles, but you must pay attention, be empathetic, and work to make them feel included. Suffering with chronic pain can be a lonely existence at times, so making someone feel involved in plans and events is an important part of helping them to deal with their situation.
