"Despite the awesome powers of technology, many of us still do not live very well," says Dr. Rachel Remen. "We may need to listen to one another's stories again." Dr. Remen, whose unique perspective on healing comes from her background as a physician, a professor of medicine, a therapist, and a long-term survivor of chronic illness, invites us to listen from the soul. #Healing #IndelibleMoments
These books were so helpful during grief and illness

Much needed encouraging words on a Wednesday morning inside the hospital at work. One of my dear colleagues gave me this volume a few weeks ago and I‘d yet to pick it up...

This is a book that my husband gave me many years ago when I was facing a very challenging time in my life. I was inspired by @Eggs to reread this amazing collection of essays by Dr. Remen. She offers insights about the importance of generosity, kindness of spirit, and self acceptance. The essays are short but powerful. An excellent read. #NFNov #TIL Self care is always important - be as kind to yourself as you are to others.

This was a challenge! :)

Kitchen Table Wisdom is one of my all-time favorite books, and it's one of my go-to resources when I'm dealing with a challenge. She writes with such compassion and the short little anecdotes are so interesting and heart-warming. It's quite a warm fuzzy book, I love it. 🤗♥️

Eggs I‘ve 2 of her books 💞 Welcome to Litsy 🤗👏🏻 5y

In between laundry (yuck) and a movie (yay) and a migraine (blech), I've now organized my go-to shelf for challenge books. All but one of these (X) fall into the #LitsyReadingChallenge. Some additional selections are Kindle-based. As soon as I finish two more books for 2016 #ReadHarder, I can start choosing from these shelves!

Zelma Very organized! 👍 8y

A collection of true stories that touch on the faith, hope, love, and mystery that sustain and enrich our lives.

In my experience, a diagnosis is an opinion and not a prediction. What would it be like if more people allowed for the presence of the unknown, and accepted the words of their medical experts in the same way? The diagnosis is cancer. What that will mean remains to be seen.
