Spreading Awareness
How do you spread awareness, or what might be a good way for you to start?
I usually don't
Hi there, thanks for sharing so openly. Sometimes it can be tricky to speak about our medical issues. Do you find that you can speak openly with your medical team about your heart failure? -Lauren (Team member)
talk about it
Thanks for sharing that you are able to speak about your heart failure. Do you feel that you are well supported by your family and friends? I hope so! -Lauren (Team member)
I think even small things can help, like just talking about it when it comes up in daily conversations or sharing reliable info on social media now and then. So, starting with simple awareness in our circles can go a long way.
Well said. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the topic of spreading heart failure awareness. All the best, Lauren (team member)
I agree just talk about it, my brother didn’t understand what having heart failure did to me as a person. We went to a baseball game and my walking had slowed down and I couldn’t keep up like I used to. On the ride home we had an argument about it, it took a bit but he finally understood stood about my condition

I'm glad to hear that your brother (finally) understands what you're going through.
It's unfortunate that the process was so challenging for you.
I hope he has since become much more supportive of you. ~Doreen (Team Member)
