About This Quote
I, the infirm, find myself caring for the sorrows and fears of the well. In the world of relationships, those who are ill often find themselves caring for those who are healthy. The ill can become a hindrance to those without any health issues as they try to take care of them as well as themselves. This can cause a strain on both parties as they try to figure out what is going on with their loved one and why they are no longer capable of taking care of themselves. From a distance this may look like a healthy relationship, but it is really a burden placed upon the ill person that can make it difficult to care for themselves.
