empathy is how you show your understandings to someone and share the same feelings
for example;
jon:my dog has passed away and he has been my best friend since i was 1 years old.
emily: i have gone through the same thing with my dog when he passed away . i have also had him since i was 1.
sympathy is just showing sorrow and acknowledging what has happened to them.
jon:my dog has passed away and he has been my best friend since i was 1 years old.
emily: im sorry for your loss. its okay things will get better.
empathy is more efficent and more understanding than sympathy but if you cant understand how it feels to be as a mental illness its okay to sit and listen to the person and try to understand them.
i hope the examples helped.
A person with sickle cell anemia will have:
Fatigue and Anemia are the most common to occur if you have SCA.
Dactylitis (swelling and inflammation of the hands and/or feet) and Arthritis is also common most likely garenteed to happen.
Splenic Sequestration (sudden pooling of blood in the spleen) and Liver Congestion is fatal and needs to be treated right away.
I hope this helps you :)
