Cancer Reflection

In order for a vulnerable individual to feel confident and feel as his/her needs are met, a supportive relationship is essential. A supportive relationship is a relation based on empathy and encouragement and based on the individuals supporting each other in different ways, in order to maintain happy and healthy, physically and mentally. Without a supportive relationship, individuals might not feel confident or they might feel withdrawn and neglected by the person who is taking care of them. Without a supportive relationship people might start feeling self-conscious or they might become depressed as they might feel as people do not want to be

When developing knowledge and skill of supporting the colleagues in the practice the practitioner would have to always be supportive to their colleagues during hard times and good times because when the practitioner is supportive towards the colleagues the practitioners colleagues e.g. Your colleague has just been through a rough divorce and child custody battle and is having a hard time getting back on their feet so in order for you to help you help by reducing their work load at the work place meaning helping them when you can, helping them out of the work placement as well as in the work placement when you do this for your work colleagues they would feel grateful and would also offer help when you need it and you will also gain more closeness with their work colleagues.

A secondary solution to miscarriage of justice, again focusing on mending the damage caused, is the presence of a support person, or a group of support people. Although it is incredibly difficult, in some cases impossible, to mend all harm, having a safety net and guiding force can greatly ease the burden and accelerate recovery. In a Chicago area case, single mother Nicole Harris was wrongly convicted of murdering her 4 year old son and spent nearly 8 years in prison before being exonerated. This leads us to this quote from the Chicago Tribune which discusses the support her relatives and friends provide:

A support system is important to the healing process in that it surrounds you with caring people who are there for you when you need

To start off, neuroblastoma has changed the way she views the world. Throughout her story, Lauren endures an immense amount of physical pain, therefore she will never see anything as painful again. For example, in the passage it describes the effects of chemo on Lauren’s body, it states “She persevered even when the chemo made her so sick she couldn’t walk more than a few steps without

The author writes such a beautiful story with the point of view from each character. They each have different outlooks on what really happens behind the scene of a family living with someone that has cancer. For example in this quotes in states “I am the kid who played with matches. I used to steal from the shelf above the refrigerator, take them into my parents bathroom”(Picoult 111). In these lines in the book we’re introduced to Jesse, he’s very troubled in the family to the point where he separated himself in the attic above the garage and his parents are way to busy with Kate to even notice. Overall we mainly hear from the characters themselves making it relatively unique.

Advocating support enables the supporter to provide training where needed or in a specific area by providing information to the client during a conference base situation or providing advice around or on the client's legal rights within the situation or other legal pathways available to the client or, in turn, the legal obligations of the other party.

As a child, I always had the mindset of being invincible, like nothing on the earth could hurt me. That mindset carried on with me throughout my life, even regarding my health. I had always thought I was in perfect health and always would be, at least until I was in my 40’s. I‘ve always had good blood pressure and all my checkups would go smoothly with zero problems. I had a lifelong fear of breaking a bone or having to get surgery, and I was thankful to never have needed surgery or broken a bone. But everyone’s day has to come, right? One day my luck finally ran out.

Bigsby (2016), defines emotional social support as showing empathy, trust and showing that one cares. Social support is meant to be helpful when someone is coping with a difficult situation in their life. In order to show emotional support properly one must show supportive listening which is when the supporter is focusing on the other person, but does not input any judgements, and remains neutral. To show that they were listening they should summarize what they heard. The person should be focusing only on feelings without trying to give solutions to the problem. It is also very important to legitimize the other person’s feelings. The listener needs to tell the other person that it is

I understand your pain! We have a handful of patients that call daily to inquire about their bill. They’re confused why they received a bill from Raleigh Radiology and their procedure was done at Rex Hospital. We explain that our radiologist is affiliated with Rex and they read their exams. Patients are billed twice; they are billed from Rex and Raleigh Radiology. This becomes an inconvenience, when patient’s arrives at our locations to pay their bill and not able to.

The day after that the whole family went to the whole family went to the Robert's house as Mrs. Roberts had to say something. She wanted to say that Mr. Roberts had cancer and there was a twenty-five percent chance that he was going to live, and everyday it looked like that twenty-five percent chance was decreasing. Everyday he looked even sicker, and skinnier and smaller he was weaker and wanted to sleep more.

Without any doubt, support is something everyone needs to achieve their life goals, that’s is why you see people heading to places where support is provided.

Support groups bring together people facing similar issues, whether that's illness, relationship problems or major life changes. Members of support groups often share experiences and advice. It can be helpful just getting to talk with other people who are in the same boat. While not everyone wants or needs support beyond that offered by family and friends, you may find it helpful to turn to others outside your immediate circle. A support group can help you cope better and feel less isolated as you make connections with others facing similar challenges. A support group shouldn't replace your standard medical care, but it can be a valuable resource to help you cope (Staff, 2013).
