Perhaps one of the most challenging aspects of motherhood with chronic
illness is helping your children understand what is going on with your
body and encouraging acceptance about how your illness may impact them.
How can you help them develop empathy about what you're experiencing,
especially if your illness is invisible? Where's the line between being
honest and making them worry? What's the best way to address their
concerns in kid-friendly language? This is a topic that will likely need
to be an ongoing discussion in your family - and sometimes reading a
book together can help!
