How much support do you receive from the people that matter most in your life? I have been blessed with a very supportive wife, loving parents, great kids, and family and friends that may not always understand all aspects to being chronically ill, but accept me and love me for who I am. Unfortunately, that kind of support is missing from the lives of many people.
Chronic illness isn't portrayed often in movies, or at all really. I suspect there are a couple of reasons for this. One may be that we don't want to see the hard realities of life portrayed on the big screen, but rather prefer fantasy stories with perfect endings. But I would argue that truth is better than fantasy. Whenever a book or film portrays real challenges like chronic illness, it gives us an opportunity to take a closer look at ourselves. It gives us insight into the heartbreak, the loss, the pain, as well as the joy we all experience. That's what the movie Love Simple does.
