Living with a chronic illness or condition is hard, and caring for a loved one in that situation can be equally challenging.


Persistent symptoms…Unpredictable function…A sense that things are changing…An uncertain future…Is there a way to live well in such a situation?

“Living Well” means facing the difficult emotions, learning how to still find enjoyment in life, and engaging in anticipatory planning when needs change.

Whether your life has been confronted by the disruption of a new diagnosis, the challenge of advancing age, or the slow slog of decline, uncertainty may feel like the new norm.  Or perhaps you are caring for a loved one who is in one of these situations and you’ve lost clarity about your role, feel at odds with other family members, or are overcome by pending loss.  

Either way your physical and emotional energy may be sapped, and you are depleted.  As Viktor Frankl, Physician and Holocaust survivor, wrote in Man’s Search for Meaning, “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”  Consider this an invitation to explore how you might recalibrate and navigate those changes that your circumstance now requires.  

“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”
