In this week’s BLOG I want to take you on a journey with me where I show you
“HOW TO GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO HAVE PEACE OF MIND, CONTROL, POWER AND INFLUENCE WHEN YOUR LOVED ONE IS CRITICALLY ILL IN INTENSIVE CARE!”
If I had a Dollar for every family member of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who doesn’t have PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence whilst their loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care, I would be a Millionaire!
And if I had a Dollar for every family member of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who hasn’t given themselves permission to have PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence whilst their loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care I would probably be another Millionaire…
So what am I talking about here?
I am talking about a crucial mindset that Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care need to adopt quickly when they first find themselves in this “ONCE IN LIFETIME” situation and challenge when having a loved one critically ill in Intensive Care!
You and your family are so far outside of your comfort zone, anxious, fearful, stressed, overwhelmed, frustrated and vulnerable until you first realise that other people are running the show when your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care!
And if you are like 99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who have no PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence, you don’t question and you don’t challenge the status quo!
But worst of all, if you belong to those 99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who have no PEACE OF MIND, no control, no power and no influence, you haven’t given yourself permission to have PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence!
You let the Intensive Care team do their thing and you let them run the show even if your critically ill loved one is
- very unstable and in a very critical condition
- in a life threatening situation
Think about it for a minute. If your critically ill loved one is in one of the aforementioned challenging, difficult and heartbreaking situations and if you haven’t given yourself permission to have PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence in those situations, the consequences of this limiting mindset can be catastrophic!
It’s therefore crucial that you give yourself permission to have PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence no matter what!
The Intensive Care team has given themselves permission to make life and death decisions 24 hours a day, 365 days per year!
The Intensive Care team has given themselves permission to make crucial life or death decisions for you, for your family and for your critically ill loved one 24 hours a day, 365 days per year!
And it’s not only that they have given themselves permission to make crucial life and death decisions for you, for your family and for your critically ill loved one, because as a matter of fact if you don’t give yourself permission to ultimately have PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence, the Intensive Care team will ultimately drive their decision making from the things that are happening “BEHIND THE SCENES” in Intensive Care!
If you don’t give yourself permission to have PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence you won’t do your own research, you won’t question, you won’t stand up for what you believe in, you keep “sucking up” to the Intensive Care team and you keep being intimidated by the Intensive Care team’s “perceived power” and their “perceived authority”!

Changing your belief system is critical!
The problem is that most families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care continue to put the Intensive Care team on a pedestal without actually realising that they are basically handing over any PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence they may have had over to them on a platter!
What you need to do instead is to give yourself permission to have PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence, no matter what!
What you need to do instead is changing your belief system to the effect that you know you can handle any situation, no matter how challenging!
Your belief system is so critical that I can’t stress this enough!
The Intensive Care team’s belief system tends to stand on solid ground and on solid foundations and the minute your critically ill loved one is either
- very unstable and in a very critical condition
- in a life threatening situation
the wheels that are in motion in Intensive Care “BEHIND THE SCENES” and the positioning of your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis and prognosis of the Intensive Care team is almost always a result of
- the financial interests of the Intensive Care team, I.e. is the Intensive Care Unit making money $$$ and/or meeting their budget targets by continuing to treat your critically ill loved one? Or does the Intensive Care team anticipate that a lengthy and prolonged treatment would put a gaping hole in their budget?
- The bed situation in Intensive Care and the bed management pressures. The demand on Intensive Care beds tends to be very high and if the Intensive Care team has to manage their limited number of beds, they will weigh up how long they want to occupy an Intensive Care bed with a particular Patient
- Their medical research interests. Medical research activities are constantly being performed on real human beings and on real critically ill Patients often without them knowing about it, let alone them or their families having given written or verbal consent! Medical research is a Multi- Billion Dollar $$$ per year industry and it’s a funding and revenue generator for Intensive Care Units , as well as a positioning tool for Intensive Care Units! Often Patients who fall into a medical research category get preferred treatment and the Intensive Care team has a high interest in continuing to treat these Patients, whereas other Patients may miss out on crucial treatment!
I am only scratching the surface here, but the fact of the matter is that the Intensive Care team has given themselves permission to make decisions that can be morally and ethically highly questionable, because their decision making is often a direct result of what’s happening “BEHIND THE SCENES” in Intensive Care!
The Intensive Care team has given themselves permission to base their life or death decisions on the politics, the power play and power struggles, the dynamics, the hierarchy, the competing interests, the intrigue and the psychology in an Intensive Care Unit without giving you any insights of what’s happening “BEHIND THE SCENES!”
It’s you and your family who knows your critically ill loved one best!
The question is when will you give yourself permission to question things, to challenge the status quo, to do your own research, to follow your gut and do the right thing and do what’s best for you, for your family and for your critically ill loved one?
How much longer do you want to wait, to give yourself permission in order to get what you want, irrespective of the challenges you are facing?
After all, it’s you and your family who know how your critically ill loved one can deal with adversity. After all it’s you and your family who know best what your critically ill loved one would want in such a difficult and challenging situation.
After all, it’s you who needs to give yourself permission to get the results and outcomes that you want, irrespective of dealing with an Intensive Care team who has “perceived power” an ”perceived authority”! After all, it’s only perceived and not even real!
After all, I can assure you that the minute you have given yourself permission to have PEACE OF MIND, to have power, to have control and to have influence and after you have given yourself permission to question things, to do your own research, to speak up and to challenge the Intensive Care team, that’s the minute when things change for you and that’s the minute when you will get results!
The minute you have given yourself permission to have PEACE OF MIND, to have power, to have control and to have influence that’s also the minute when the Intensive Care team realises that they are dealing with a powerful family who is prepared to do whatever it takes to get the outcomes that they want and deserve, irrespective of the challenges they are facing!
