Through 10 real-life stories, Blossoms In The Valley peels back the masks of mental illness to provide a closer glimpse of the persons behind the pain - so that their souls can be better appreciated. Journey along them and their love ones as they go through heart-wrenching experiences in the course of coping with their afflictions. Each story fleshes out important factors that can help loved ones as they battle seemingly unsurmountable challenges in recovery. However, breakthrough is possible when myths get dispelled and stigma is overcome! When new meaning in life is discovered, a better quality of life can be achieved. Covering all aspects of recovery - which includes Medical, Functional, Social, Existential and Spiritual aspects - the purpose of Blossoms In The Valley is to inspire hope and encourage those who find themselves in their dark valleys to persevere. No matter what illness one is facing, even those with severe mental illness can find renewed hope and purpose. For caregivers, the stories in this book are designed to shed some insights and hopefully, in the process, help to prevent compassion fatigue. Through the lens of each recovery story,it is the hope that each reader will also gain a more positive and balanced perspective of mental illness.
