Chronic Hope leverages one family's journey raising a child with chronic illness and provides readers the tools necessary to process their own emotional responses to the unexpected path ahead of them.
Leaning on the author's personal experience as a caregiver to introduce topics, themes, and strategies, Bonnie O'Neil shares kitchen table wisdom in the tone of a friend who's been there-a fellow parent who truly understands. Thematically, Chronic Hope begins deep within the heart of the caregiver and gradually works itself outward into each relationship within the family, and eventually into the wider world. Readers witness Bonnie's mistakes and missteps, glean from her revelations, and find inspiration in the principles and attitudes she begins to apply to everyday situations. Chronic Hope offers a fresh vision of hope in the darkest valleys of illness, suffering, and broken dreams.
