Publisher's Summary

A tool for help and healing. While encountering sickness is inevitable, healing often seems harder to come by. We are left broken open when serious illness hits. While there is no single key to recovery, it is rare to find healing without first addressing the pain. This book serves as a guide to finding purpose in the pain. Through practicing self-compassion and empathy for others, and actively listening and learning, we set ourselves on a path to thoughtfully unravel the process of finding hope.

Listen to Dr. Bolen’s Close to the Bone and find…

An insightful book for anyone living with a life-threatening illness (or caring for a loved one who is ill)
Encouragement for facing the trials and trauma of illness by relying on the wisdom we all have within
A supplemental guide for those who want to form support circles
If books such as Invisible Acts of Power; When Things Fall Apart; or No Mud, No Lotus have helped you, then Close to the Bone is the next book you need to listen to.
