Broken Body, Wounded Spirit: Balancing the See-Saw of
Chronic Pain (Series)
WINTER DEVOTIONS
by Celeste Cooper, RN, BSN and Jeff Miller, PhD
There
is nothing charismatic about chronic pain. Pain is greedy and demanding. It
consumes our time, our relationships, and our function; it threatens everything
that is important in our lives, and threatens to rob us of our character and
our dignity.
The winter season is often compared to dying. This death
allows us to come full circle and prepare for new ways of thinking, ways that
allow us to reclaim control and defend ourselves against the grotesque monster that
creates fear, agony, loneliness, and resentment.
Sharing their medical expertise, and Celeste as patient and
advocate, the authors start with a blank canvas as white as the pure driven
snow, full of possibilities. Offering a blend of integrative therapies and day
by day tidbits of wisdom, the authors encourage their readers finalize to
create a picture worth a thousand words, and encourage them to explore their
unique, and sometimes, universal experiences.
Join in as we walk the barren winter landscape that is
necessary to rid ourselves of previous conceptions as we prepare for the spring
season of rebirth.

“This lovely book of devotions is rich with insight and
practical suggestions for any one with chronic pain. It is filled witch
inspirational and healing words dealing with topics from nutrition, exercise
and sleep to relating successfully to your doctor.”

“I love the very idea of “Winter Devotions”. The struggle of living with chronic pain is
compounded for many by the winter months when it is cold, damp, and often
gloomy. Bones ache, joints hurts, and
the spirit sometimes become depressed. This wonderful book provides a tool to
help with those issues. The quotes,
photography and motivation of authors Celeste Cooper and Jeff Miller all bring
much needed hope and relief.”
~Myra J. Christopher, Kathleen M. Foley Chair in Pain and
Palliative Care at the Center for Practical Bioethics and Principal
Investigator of the Pain Action Alliance to Implement a National Strategy.
