Living with Chronic Illness

Having a chronic illness can often feel like you are lost in a dense fog, and that everyone you care about is on the other side. There can often be the feeling of a great span  of space between "you", the one with the illness and "them", the healthy, the unknowing, and those who care for you. In this space there can be isolation and with isolation comes pain, shame, anger, fear and loneliness. I have been in that space, and I know the comfort of sharing your fight for heath, and sometimes just everyday living. I would love to help you with this fight, because it isn't just a physical one, it is emotional and spiritual as well. You are not alone, and I am here to listen to your story and share in the tremendous courage and vulnerability it takes to live with illness.
