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.” quote by Ritu Ghatourey
