About this listen

Comfort, understanding, and advice for those who are suffering - and those who care for them....

Chronic illness creates many challenges, from career crises and relationship issues to struggles with self-blame, personal identity, and isolation. Beloved author Toni Bernhard addresses these challenges and many more, using practical examples to illustrate how mindfulness, equanimity, and compassion can help listeners make peace with a life turned upside down.

In her characteristic conversational style, Bernhard shows how to cope and make the most of life despite the challenges of chronic illness. Benefit from:

  • Mindfulness exercises to mitigate physical and emotional pain
  • Concrete advice for negotiating the everyday hurdles of medical appointments, household chores, and social obligations
  • Tools for navigating the strains illness can place on relationships

Several chapters are directed toward family and friends of the chronically ill, helping them to understand what their loved one is going through and how they can help.

Humorous and empathetic, Bernhard shares her own struggles and setbacks with unflinching honesty, offering invaluable support in the search to find peace and well-being.

A must read for those with a chronic illness

I have several chronic illnesses, and by reading this book, I felt finally understood.I've always felt alone in my health journey, and I didn't know how to manage my illnesses in my day to day life, as I didn't know anyone with the same illness as me to talk to. This book brought me to tears, as it has helped with self acceptance and love towards my body. This book has changed my life around, so I can't recommend it enough to others with or around people with chronic illness. Thank you Toni Bernhard.
