Your Body Is Speaking
Your child is ill. And something in you knows: this is more than a virus, more than a coincidence, more than bad luck. There is this quiet sense — perhaps only a flicker at the edge of your awareness — that the small body now feverish, coughing, breaking out in rashes, or aching is not only working through its own theme. That something resonates in this symptom that is larger than the child itself.
Medicine makes a diagnosis. It names pathogens, inflammations, irritations, hyperfunctions. And that matters — every ill child needs good diagnostics and, where necessary, treatment. But if you are honest: the diagnosis rarely puts you fully at ease. A question remains open. A question you may not dare to ask aloud, because you fear it might lead you into uncomfortable territory.
