Welcome back in the PICKLE JAR my friend and ADDISON WARRIOR Lesley James.  Lesley joins us for this episode to dive a bit deeper into the GRIEF of chronic illness.  Sharing her perspective professionally as an end-of-life planner, educator and founder of LAST WISHES CONSULTING.  There are the obvious forms for grief and loss but Lesley opens up about how her journey of illness and grief led her to her core values of LOVE, WISDOM and COMFORT.  These core values led her to her 6 LANTERN BEARERS of chronic illness.  All individuals have 'roles' in our lives and if we recognize our LATERN BEARERS we will find the love and support we need to thrive in life with a chronic illness.  Lesley's invaluable lessons for living with a chronic illness will EMPOWER us to move forward and improve our quality of life.

Education and acknowledgment of the personal grief experienced with chronic illness are one of the first steps in moving forward with your life.

We also discuss RARE DISEASE DAY coming up on February 28th.  We are RARE and AMAZING individuals who have OVERCOME amazing things with our illnesses.  We need to ACKNOWLEDGE and CELEBRATE being RARE...we are truly amazing every day!!
