An interview with Jenni Grover Prokopy and Toni Bernhard, about acceptance of chronic illness. Toni Bernhard is an author, blogger for Psychology Today, and chronic pain and illness advocate. She is the author of three incredible books, two of which focus on living with grace and joy despite chronic illness (which includes chronic pain), and one which focuses on the Buddha’s path to awakening to a life of peace and well-being. They are: How to Live Well with Chronic Pain and Illness: A Mindful Guide (Fall 2015), How to Wake Up: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide for Navigating Joy and Sorrow (2013), and How to Be Sick: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide for the Chronically Ill and their Caregivers (2010).
