Beyond Rage shows how to cope with the emotional impact of chronic physical illness. This hopeful book concentrates on quality of life, on being able-hearted when it is no longer possible to be able-bodied.
The book tells how to focus on the person rather than on the illness ... how to gain joy from each day, living in the present when the future may seem bleak ... how to build emotional strength when physical strength is ebbing.
Beyond Rage is a guide through the six stages of emotional response to chronic physical illness — crisis, isolation, anger, reconstruction, intermittent depression, and renewal. Patients, families, and medical specialists will learn to recognize the stages. Strategies for coping are outlined. Knowing what to expect and what to do about it will remove much of the mystery that leads to fear and anxiety.
The book will help those with chronic illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, lupus, Crohn's disease, scleroderma, and others. Its lessons also apply to the loss of physical ability that comes with aging or to the emotional problems associated with a major, but curable illness.
