I was thinking about how every disease comes with its own experience (which is probably why the healthtalk website has so many different videos), but I think the Charmaz paper does well to touch on different possible outcomes, and acknowledges that people are different. So yes, adding a timeline to the illness process may be generalising a little, and it would need a great deal of research (dare I say even quantitative) to get it right for each illness process and personality type.
