By the time you return to your normal pace of life from medical treatment, you will be rushed to say, “I want to be myself as usual as soon as possible.” At such times, it is important to support people so that they can recover slowly without putting pressure on them, such as “Let’s do our best” and “I hope we can return to the original pace quickly”.
