Lianna Marie is the founder of AllAboutParkinsons.com and has just written a new book, "The Parkinson's Path." Parkinson's may be a snowflake illness — unique for everyone — but the emotional journey that people go on when they're living with a chronic illness like Parkinson's has many commonalities. People share the same frustrations, sadness, and loss. Reflecting on her 30 years living with her Mom through Parkinson's, in the book Lianna presents the 30 most common emotions that they went through together, how they worked through them, and what they did about them. She then offers some practical ways to get through each of the challenges.

Lianna says, "It wasn't just all bad stuff. Some things happened that — quite honestly I hate using the word joyful because people might think that's odd to say in relationship to a chronic illness — but there were a lot of moments of joy that we experienced throughout Mom's illness. And, really, what are our options? You get diagnosed with Parkinson's, are you're going to give up? No. One of my favorite quotes is from someone with Parkinson's who said, and I think everyone has probably heard this before, but "Parkinson's is not the end of your life, it's the beginning of a new one." So that's what "The Parkinson's Path" is all about."

Lianna has also written "The Complete Guide for People With Parkinson’s Disease and Their Loved Ones," "Everything You Need to Know About Parkinson’s Disease," and "Everything You Need to Know About Caregiving for Parkinson’s Disease." Her books are available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and wherever books are sold. Hear more of Lianna's podcasts at Answers for Elders, and visit her website or AllAboutParkinsons.com to learn more.
