Keep the family
After the crisis, there are sequels, and my mother is no longer, as such says, a participant. Family members now have the challenge of keeping the sick relative who she is and who recovers. Family members preserve the family member after a crisis by accepting the transformation. Learning to live with it and maintaining family and social relationships.
The transformation of the family after the crisis is inevitable. For the family, it implies recognizing and accepting that their relative is no longer the same and that his transformation is not voluntary but due to the disease. Acceptance allows family members to reestablish their relationship with their relatives and coexistence. It implies an emotional effort that requires time for emotions such as disbelief, denial, guilt, anger, and frustration to give way to positive emotions and attitudes that allow them to live with their family member. Now recovered from the crisis.
