Description
Being forced to look at life through a peep hole is petrifying, and that is exactly what chronic pain and illness does. It isolates, dominates, and threatens the things all human beings hold dear. Chronic pain and illness is a bully with a ravenous appetite for creating mayhem in one's life. Anguishing physical and emotional pain is often overlooked. After all, "the person doesn't look sick."
From the outside pain is invisible, but from the inside, it is an unwanted intruder to the person experiencing it. It is a thief of goals and dreams, finances and socialization. Finding balance and avoiding isolation when struggling with chronic pain is difficult. But, this book explodes from its bindings, a metaphor for the reader to break free from the shackles of daily pain. The authors expose their readers to infinite possibilities for viewing life through door that opens wide exposing a landscape of honor and hope. Celeste as RN, educator, advocate, and chronic pain patient, and Jeff, a doctor in clinical psychologist, gently guide their readers through the chaos of chronic pain by providing a variety of tools to begin a journey of undiscovered opportunities.
