Soft Hugs for Mommy: Learning to live with Fibromyalgia

A Much-Needed Resource for Families Dealing with Chronic Pain

Soft Hugs for Mommytells the story of a loving family as they navigate the challenges of Mommy's chronic pain condition. Filled with tender moments and loving gestures, it seeks to encourage understanding and unconditional love. The family helps Mommy with her invisible illness by offering gentle hugs, thoughtful acts of kindness, and comforting words. A talented author who draws from her personal experience with fibromyalgia shares this sweet story. Another chronic illness warrior skillfully illustrates the story with hand painted pictures. Together, author and illustrator capture the emotions and experiences of each character with warmth and tenderness.

Soft Hugs for Mommy continues with a "Let's Talk" section to open the conversation between parent and child. These questions, created with a child psychologist, offer a space for children to express their feelings about Mommy's illness. This book facilitates discussing other related conditions (such as Lyme Disease, ME, CFS, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, chronic migraine, chronic pain, and others).

Finally, the book offers a subscription through e-mail as she shares soft hugs and new resources for chronic illness every month.
