Synopsis: A powerful spiritual companion on your journey through the seasons of chronic illness. Living with chronic illness has many challenges, and the journey is not just a physical one. Tend to Your Spirit is a companion for this emotional and spiritual journey, offering tools to help readers practice self-compassion and self-care. With candor and vulnerability, spiritual leaders Julianne Lepp and Florence Caplow, themselves living with long-term illness, offer insights and practices that can benefit anyone facing the emotional impact of a new or ongoing condition.Structured metaphorically around the four seasons, each chapter is devoted to a particular aspect of life with chronic illness, such as grief, hope, perseverance, anger, comfort, and finding connection. Interviews and quotes from people with chronic illness of all ages and backgrounds help readers feel less alone. Spiritual resources, including poetry, practices, meditations, playlists, journaling exercises, and discussion questions, offer additional guidance. Small groups can explore these resources together to help foster supportive relationships and community.Tend to Your Spirit is intended for people at any stage of their journey with chronic illness or chronic pain, to help you live a full, spiritually connected life—a life informed and shaped, but not defeated, by your illness.
