Synopsis "Everything's Gonna Be OKay: How to nurture yourself during a storm"
"Everything is going to be OK." But, is it? Is it really? There are moments when things are really, really sucky. As a healer, Chava Floryn's dad became the sort of physician who saw lots of struggle and challenge in his lifetime, and he understood how painful life could become after burying his own father at the tender age of nine-years-old. Still, this was the family mantra said when the going got tough. Which is why, this became Chava's tag line during a particularly difficult crisis. (Even if saying "EGBOK" felt decidedly glib.)In a post-covid world, when hospitals were short-staffed and visitation rules were limited, Chava's husband became gravely ill on a family vacation. His organs were failing due to a life-threatening septic infection-and no one knew why. The road back from that vacation was long, and every step was filled with uncertainty.As her father, Dr. Mike, used to say, "Treat the patient, not the disease." This book aims to treat us with a gentleness, while honoring the uncertain future with a hopeful quality of life. "Everything is going to be OK," even if it's not OK right now is the mantra which aims to make the dis-ease of our mortality a little more tolerable in the midst of any challenge.How do we get through fear, anxiety, and ultimately grief?
