Worried Reader<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
My chronic illness has worsened, so I had to give up on the Shikoku ohenro pilgrimage I’d dreamed about. I know my body can’t do it anymore, but the wish in my heart hasn’t faded.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If that’s where your head is at, you’re far from alone \u2014 more people sit with this than you’d think.<\/p>\n

Even when the body can’t move, “the things I wanted to do” don’t disappear<\/span>. If anything \u2014 the moment they become impossible, the longing sharpens.<\/p>\n

Mountain climbing, pilgrimages, overseas travel, the long-held challenge. “Is giving up the only option?”<\/span> \u2014 those are heavy nights.<\/p>\n

In this article, I’ll lay out “fulfilling a dream you gave up because of illness, in a different form”<\/strong> as a real option, the way I see it.<\/p>\n
