Will you help?

If ever you felt helplessly, hopelessly, ill, your world abruptly compressed into one square foot of medicine tray beside your bed, what — deeply — did that time hold for you? And, if you have ever given care to, or have taken care of, someone in these circumstances, what was that like for you, as well? What did you want your caregivers to do for you, to say to you—how did you want them to touch you, to move you—to respect you? If you are incapacitated now, what are your greatest wishes? When giving care, what, more than anything else did (do) you want the person receiving your care to understand? What did (do) you want that person to accept? Looking back, how might you have thought more positively, spoken in kinder ways, acted with a fuller heart, no matter how much, physically, you felt unable to give or to receive?
