Healing Journal for Chronic Illness/Life Changing Diagnosis

As someone who went through a cancer diagnosis, I know first hand how chaotic your life can become when you have any kind of chronic illness. Trying to keep track of doctor appointments, treatment schedules, medications, mileage - everything becomes like a whirlwind around you while you try to just keep your head up, and get through each day.

I had various notebooks all over, scraps of paper, printed off schedules hanging on bulletin boards - everything I could use to help me keep myself organized and make sure I was keeping track of important information that I needed close at hand.

With all of this in mind, I have created "Healing Journal" pages with things that I believe are important to track and have organized to help with the stress of trying to keep all of this straight.

**BUY THIS FOR A FRIEND OR LOVED ONE TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT AS THEY FACE A DIFFICULT ILLNESS OR DIAGNOSIS. Let them know you care, and give them something that they will truly be able to use and benefit from. Every time they open the book to track something, they will be reminded of your gift.

**BUY IT FOR YOURSELF - IF YOU HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH ANY KIND OF LIFE CHANGING ILLNESS THAT IS FORCING YOU TO LIVE WITH MORE STRENGTH THAN YOU FEEL YOU CAN, get this to help you with the tremendous amount of information you are going to have to keep track of. Let these pages keep some of your burden down - while you focus on your health.

This is something that would have helped me tremendously, so I want to be able to offer it to others who can make use of these pages.

Here is what you will get:

COVER OPTION - The cover can be used if you would like to print if off and use in the binder or system you're using. It can also be sent to use at a local printer if you decide to have these pages bound into a physical book.

DIAGNOSIS & QUICK GLANCE PAGE - A place to keep at the front of the book with important numbers and information that needs to be used often.

HISTORY - Your past history which you may be asked repeatedly over the months ahead - keep everything here at a quick glance...past surgeries, past illnesses, family history etc.

MEDICATIONS - You need to have your medication information close at hand, with dosages and what they are prescribed for.

IMPORTANT CONTACT INFORMATION - Your illness may have you seeing many different health professionals, and needing to contact a lot of people, so these pages are to keep all of this important information together.

ADDRESSES OF IMPORTANT APPOINTMENTS - You might have many different places you're going for appointments, so track the addresses here and keep it close at hand.

APPOINTMENT CALENDAR AT A GLANCE - Keep track of all important appointments for quick glance planning.

APPOINTMENT LOG - Keep track of all appointments and write down questions you want to ask at the next one as you think of them.

CLAIMS INFORMATION - If you have made any insurance claims, this is an important page to use for tracking.

MILEAGE LOG - Keep track of your mileage, even going to close-by appointments, for income tax purposes.

THANK YOU PAGES - As you go through your illness, you will find so many people who are helping you out - even in small ways - that you want to thank. This is so important, so make use of these pages to write down as people do caring things for you, and make sure you thank them.

GRATITUDE PAGES - There are a couple pages included for you to write down things that make you happy...the sound of birds singing, the smell of coffee in the morning, crunching of leaves beneath your feet in the fall and a page for people and things you're grateful for in your life. List them all and add to them often when you feel like you're having a bad day.

VISION BOARD - Fill these pages with pictures and thoughts of everything you're going to do in the future. Let this be your space to dream about the days ahead.

JOURNAL PAGES - Copy as many of these off as you need and write in them as you go through your illness, or learn to live with your diagnosis. Sometimes just writing things down, and getting them off your mind, can help to give you a bit of strength when you feel you haven't got any left.
