In cooperation with ImproveCareNow, EmpoweredByKids.com, which was started by a group of parents, developed ‘The Book of Hope.’ This book “contains stories of hope and inspiration from parents and patients of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. These are encouraging stories to let families know someone else has been there too and you are not alone.”
You can download a copy of the IBD Book of Hope here.
I read through the downloaded version. In my view, the general theme was of perseverance. Given some of the difficulties shared in the book, this book might be best when someone is hospitalized and/or very sick rather than at the onset of diagnosis.
What do you think?
