Product Description
Based on the belief and conviction that you can learn to cope with chronic illness because you are more than what ails you, this indispensable and informative guide explores how complex emotions like shame, the fear of "selfishness" and the concept of guilt become the myths that trap and smother the ability to practice self-care and cope with the challenges of living with chronic illness. With 30 proven practical tips and strategies -- plus the self-care quiz -- readers build a positive relationship with their illness, take an active role in their healthcare and accomplish goals that add value to their lives.
From the Author
"My personal challenges include being an author, a business owner and a middle aged woman coping with chronic illness. My core belief is that as each of us translates our hopes into actions, we create greater meaning and satisfaction in our lives -- even with the many challenges we experience living in the company of chronic illness."
