About Finding Life Fulfillment
"In Finding Life
Fulfillment when Living with Chronic Illness-A Spiritual Journey,
Cynthia Perkins conveys in a remarkably accessible way the depth and
range of experiences and emotions that comprise life with
illness. The book is a thoughtful and honest account of her
personal struggles and successes living with illness; at the same time
the words will ring true for any reader coming to terms with human
vulnerability. Cynthia Perkins has provided a valuable guide
offering both a conceptual framework for understanding illness and
practical tools for negotiating the daily challenges. The book
itself is an easy to use tool; it is thoughtfully tailored to the
reader with health limitations who might find the short chapters and
straightforward presentation especially appealing. "
~Gayle Heiss, author
“Finding the Way Home- A Compassionate Approach to Illness"
"As a person living with
chronic illness, I found Cynthia Perkins' book "Finding Life
Fulfillment when Living with Chronic Illness-A Spiritual Journey"
sweet, concise and easy to read. Full of helpful, insightful
information, it's a practical guide to healing from someone who knows
the rope."
~Janice
Strubbe-Wittenberg, author "The Rebellious Body"
"Cynthia Perkins’ Finding
Life Fulfillment When Living with Chronic Illness: A Spiritual Journey
is an informative ebook containing twenty short chapters covering the
psychological, physical, and spiritual dimensions of living with
chronic illness. What I liked best about Perkins’ ebook was its
personal approach and sincere tone. The author herself copes
daily with the challenges presented by Multiple Chemical
Sensitivity, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and it is her
first-hand experience that informs this ebook. Despite the serious
subject matter of the book, Perkins’ tone never becomes maudlin or
saccharine--even when she is addressing such sensitive issues as pain,
death, and spirituality. And despite the author’s background in
psychology and counseling, the book never gets bogged down in
jargon. All in all, I found Perkins’ writing skills to be a cut
above the average ebook author’s." ~Laura Halferty, eBook Reviews

"Finding Life Fulfillment
provides plenty of practical examples and options. She clearly
isolates and defines the conflicts and the often ambivalent and
seemingly contradicting emotions one may go through. Cynthia's
own personal experience and analogies enriches the material. Her
writing on emotions and feelings is outstanding, in depth, realistic
and profound."
~Daryl Hersh, Counselor
for Ozer Ministries
"The author faithfully
tackles some of the more personal issues and challenges for those faced
with persistent pain and chronic illnesses. She shines bright in her
"Nurturing Relationships" section. Her choices are well thought out,
born of her own personal suffering. She adds an elegant finish with
meaningful and inspiring quotes from some of the world's most respected
authors. All this in a clear detailed account of what could otherwise
prove to be overwhelming and unfortunate situations for many of us.
This book is one heartwarming antidote... no prescription needed!"

"This is a brilliant,
inspiring, easy-to-read guide to living with chronic illness in a
healthy way. When I first got sick with EI/MCS,
rheumatoid/osteoarthritis and constant fatigue and infections, I only
focused on getting rid of these afflictions. After spending
thousands of dollars trying to get healthy, Cynthia's book is a
reminder to me that I can live my life in a healthy way even though I
am still sick. This book is a huge bargain - everyone with
chronic illness needs a copy. The chapter on suicide is
especially important. I have seen several of my friends end their
lives because they couldn't imagine how to obtain fulfillment while
living with chronic illness. I only wish they'd had this book and
used it to look at things a different way. The chief benefit of
this book is reminding those with chronic illness, There is always
another way. Thank you, Cynthia, for making the effort to
write this gem!!! ~Gena Parkhurst
Excerpt
First Lesson
What I first discovered on my journey was that having a chronic illness
did not mean I had received a life sentence of nothing but emptiness,
pain and loss. Yes, having an illness is unfortunate, sad,
unfair, difficult, painful and sometimes downright horrible, but over
time I realized that with a lot of patience, persistence, perseverance,
determination and willingness to be flexible, that I could still find
fulfillment and happiness in my life.
Initially in my journey I thought the goal was to eliminate the pain,
loss, grief, anger etc., but then I realized that this was not possible
because all of these things are inherent components of a chronic
illness. The only way they could be eliminated was to eliminate the
illness, and that was not possible.
Initially all my energy was focused on getting rid of the illness, not
that we shouldn't try, but after thousands of dollars and lots of
wasted time, I soon realized it was here to stay. I had to make
peace with these truths and learn to function within the pain and
loss. I then made more progress when I began focusing on
finding a way to live with it and within my limits.
I discovered that my suffering and new limits didn't have to
prevent me from having a full and enjoyable life, because both the
suffering and the fulfillment could exist simultaneously. This
does not mean that I still don’t pursue possible solutions or
treatments, because I do, but my focus is on living and not on the
frantic search for a cure.
I could be in excruciating pain and still spend fulfilling time with my
child, read a good book, write, watch a funny movie or make wild
passionate love with my boyfriend. I could be incredibly angry
that this had happened to me and still bask in the beauty of nature and
find small blessings in my life. I could be in pain, depressed,
angry and full of bliss and enjoyment all at the same time.
Yes, life had been changed forever and would never be the same again,
but it wasn’t over. I just had to accept a new way of viewing the
world and myself and find fulfillment, meaning and purpose in ways I
had never known before.
