GeneralDear Parents,
Illness is an integral part of our lives. When we get sick, we become less energetic and isolated from others, and we may feel depressed and lonely. Sometimes we need a hand that reaches out to help us even in simple everyday matters, and we would be happy to receive even a touch of tenderness from someone close to us.
Visiting the patient and taking care of them
In our Arab culture, visiting and caring for the patient is an important social and religious value. It is an expression of helping those in need, having sympathy and showing them kindness. Visiting the patient has a recognized etiquette aimed at comforting and amusing the patient; such as greeting them with prayers for their recovery, preparing food or drinks for them, which might ease the severity of the disease, offering help, and considering the comfort of the patient.
