Life Recycled - Linda Ruescher - Bog

Chronic illness is a thief, stealing health, hopes, and dreams. Although chronic conditions affect about fifty percent of people, no one teaches us how to be sick well. No one teaches us how to go one when we know there is no hope of recovery. No one teaches us how to create a new normal in the face of chronic illness. Writing from the perspective of both a health educator in chronic disease self-management and a patient who rebuilt her own life after diagnosis, Ruescher guides the reader through the uncharted territory of the land of chronic illness to the creation of a new normal. 365 short daily reflections tell the stories of real patients and provide practical tools for living well despite illness.
