Do you think that it helped your interviewee to tell his or her story? Why or why not? What did you learn about this person’s experience that resonates with your own experiences? What if anything were the most upsetting aspects of his or her illness experience for you to hear about? Did you come away with a lesson from this person? Did the interviewee come away from their illness a success story, meaning, were they able to find meaning and purpose in life that reached beyond their diagnosis and experience of illness?
