This is very much true in case you are going through trauma due to a serious accident, or an event of that kind; here the psychological-moral support from your near and dear ones is of extreme importance for our speedy recovery; this observation is from my two own recent personal experiences (of March 2020, multiple bone fractures and associated operation for six hours; and April 2021, affected by CoViD).
