It can feel frustrating if you want your loved one to open up about their health problems but they do not want to talk about them. However, they might need a bit of time to process what’s happened by themselves before they want to have a conversation about how they’re feeling, even if they’ve been open about other things before.It can be helpful to put the ball in their court and let them know you’re ready to speak about it when and if they are. As time goes by, you can gently remind them that this door remains open.Often with good intentions, it can be tempting to cut in and offer reassurance or solutions when someone is speaking about their experiences. However, this can feel frustrating for the other person. At worse, they may feel like they are not coping as well as they should be. Try to be patient and let the other person take the lead. As they’re talking, you can nod or make small utterances, such as ‘yes’ or ‘ok’, to show that you’re listening and interested in what they’re saying.
