PUTTING ILLNESS INTO WORDS | José Carlos Bermejo – Book Presentation
In this video, José Carlos Bermejo—director of the San Camilo Center and a leading figure in the humanization of care—presents *Physifying Illness: Visiting the Sick*, an essential work for those who wish to accompany suffering with humanity, sensitivity, and ethical depth.
How should we act when visiting the sick? What should we say—and what shouldn't we say—to someone experiencing pain, fragility, or grief?
How can we find words that comfort, gestures that soothe, and presences that accompany without intruding?
Bermejo reminds us that encountering someone who is suffering unsettles us, demands humility, and invites us to enter the delicate territory of vulnerability. To give words to pain means to narrate it, to give it voice… and to allow that narrative to humanize both the one who expresses it and the one who listens.
This book is a valuable resource for healthcare professionals, psychologists, pastoral agents, volunteers, and anyone who wishes to approach suffering from the ethics of care. Available in bookstores and at humanizar.es
