can anyone here help me to paraphrase this paragraph?
Health, illness, deviance and pathology are socially defined phenomena. As so defined, they are influenced by societal values, political ideations, cultural norms and economic conditions. Socially defined phenomena frequently wreak havoc with the becoming and healing necessary to the realization of well-being. For example, when a woman miscarries a desired pregnancy her spiritual, maternal, feminine and sexual selves are challenged to reestablish meanings that allow her to experience a renewed sense of integration wherein her personal biography includes the experience of having miscarried alonged-for child. The seeking and becoming of well-being requires a safe space for acquiring information, releasing the pain of sadness and fear and expressing longing for the lost loved one. When no such arena exists and the woman is given socially defined dictums of what is normal (i.e., "At your age, it was a blessing;" "It's been two months, aren't you over that yet?"), her attempts at reestablishing well-being are thwarted. Her many selves are left disintegrated and a feeling of wholeness is replaced with one of inadequacy.
