Crisis Quote by Ritu Ghatourey
“Serious illness is more than a crisis of the body, it is a crisis of the soul. Many patients react to a serious disease by becoming paralyzed by fear. Resistance quickly crumbles, and is followed by depression and despair. Yet others marshal the inner resources needed to overcome the crisis.”
