Facing Illness, Finding Peace - by Nancy Groves (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A new edition of the soul-enriching, poetic guide through life-changing illnesses that helped many.

Offering solace for chronic or fatal illnesses, Facing Illness, Finding Peace takes readers on a journey toward understanding, acceptance, and peace. A life-changing diagnosis can be overwhelming to patients as they struggle to come to terms with their future. They may mourn their life before the turn in health and grieve what has been lost. In this guide, the poems, reflection questions, and prayers help process the intense emotions, such as shock, anxiety, anger, depression, guilt, and shame, that come from such an event. With themes such as survival, healing, and peace, patients will be guided with support as they also navigate the world and people around them, and inspire understanding in their loved ones of the difficult journey ahead.
