Product Description
"Here's the first thing I want you to understand: YOU ARE NOT ALONE."
If you've been sucker-punched by a terrifying diagnosis, you might feel alienated from the life you used to live. You feel foreign to the person you used to be. It's isolating, lonely, and scary. But other people have walked this road and are ready to hold your hand and guide you through it.
After thirty years of living with a chronic illness, and twenty-five years working with thousands of people managing a chronic or terminal disease, Brenda Snow is an authority on being a patient. Similar to the Grief Cycle, patients and caregivers tend to journey through a recognizable series of experiences as they cope with illness. With humor, candor, and expertise, Brenda offers a road map to help you regain your footing after a life-changing diagnosis. This book will inspire you to overcome the bumps in the road and recognize the amazing life still in front of you.
