Dealing with chronic illness is hard. Dealing with a chronic illness when you're a child is simply unfair. There are emotions involved with chronic illness management that are simply challenging to express. Through years of dealing with chronic illness (both visible and invisible), I've found only one outlet that has truly helped me vent and express my emotions in a healthy way: writing. Through a series of prompts, I help kids dealing with chronic illnesses express themselves through poetry, journal entries, and short stories. When we battle our feelings with the pen, we're much stronger than we think we are.
